Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en

tire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

Let's call this "certain amount" with a variable, x, (since it's not specified in the question, I will assume that the answer shall just be based on this variable).

So every additional floor will make the building sink by x, and let's make the unit cm, so x cm.

Now we know that the maximum depression is 20 cm, and it is also

x*y, where y is the number of floors.

So we have x*y=20,

therefore the number of floors is:
20/x or
\frac{20}{x}

Llana [10]

Answer:

The football leaves with the velocity, u = 15.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The football bounces back up off the ground and is airborne for, t = 3.2 s

Let the football bounces back up off the ground in the vertical direction

The formula for time of flight is given by,

                              t = 2u /g

∴                             u = gt / 2

Substituting the values,

                               u = 9.8 x 3.2 / 2

                                u = 15.68 m/s

Hence, the football leaves with the velocity, u = 15.68 m/s

It is known that birds can detect the earth's magnetic field, but the mechanism of how they do this is not known. It has been su
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A) 0.50 mV

Explanation:

In this problem, we can think the wings of the bird as a metal rod moving across a magnetic field. So, and emf will be induced into the wings of the bird, according to the formula:

\epsilon = BvL sin \theta

where

B=5\cdot 10^{-5} T is the strength of the magnetic field

v = 13 m/s is the speed of the bird

L = 1.2 m is the wingspan of the bird

\theta=40^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

\epsilon = (5.0\cdot 10^{-5} T)(13 m/s)(1.2 m) sin 40^{\circ}=0.00050 V = 0.50 mV

After getting a haircut, Joey’s barber spins him around in his barber’s chair 2 times per second. Is period or frequency given?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This figure given is the frequency; 2 times per second represents frequency.

What is frequency?

  • It is the number of times per seconds something goes past or around another.

 it is expressed as:

            Frequency  = \frac{n}{t}

                  where n is the number of turns

                              t is the time taken

  Therefore, the Barber spinned him 2 times in 1 second.

The period is the inverse of frequency. It is the time taken for a body to go through a point;

              Period  = \frac{t}{n }   = \frac{1}{f}    = \frac{1}{2}s
