Look online for the growth of the trunk of a tree. Estimate how much time does it take for a water oak to grow one inch in diame

ter. Estimate the growth rate over a year.

Answer:

8 months needed to grow one inch in diameter by water oak and it grows 24 inches of height in a year.

Explanation:

In 2 different ways the trunk of a tree grows first the height than second in diameter usually in diameter tree grows one ring per year. We can say on counting the number of rings we can determine the age of a tree both of the growth does not occur in the same rate.

Tree grows more higher as compared to the  diameter growth and mature trees usually grows 1 inch in diameter every year.

Water oak gets 24 inches height growth every year and   1.5 inch growth in diameter annually means if we divide 1.5 inches by 12 months we gets 0.125 inches growth monthly.so we can say 8 months are needed to grow the diameter of water oak 1 inch.

A kettle is rated at 1 kW, 220 V. Calculate the working resistance of the kettle.
Anna [14]

Explanation:

Power of electric kettle, P = 1 kW

Voltage, V = 220 V

(a) Electric power is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

R is resistance

R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(220)^2}{10^3}\\\\R=48.4\ \Omega

(b) When connected to a 220 V supply, it takes 3 minutes for the water in the kettle to reach boiling point.

Energy supplied is given by :

E=P\times t

P is power, P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

E=\dfrac{V^2}{R}t\\\\E=\dfrac{(220)^2}{48.4}\times 180\\\\E=180000\ J\\\\E=180\ kJ

A 65.0-kg runner has a speed of 5.20 m/s at one instant dur- ing a long-distance event. (a) What is the runner’s kinetic energy
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J      

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 65 kg

Initial speed ,u = 5.2 m/s

a)

We know that kinetic energy KE is given as follows

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

m=mass

u=velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J

KE=878.8 J

b)

We know that

Work done by all forces = Change in the kinetic energy

The final velocity , v= 2 u = 2 x 5.2 m/s

v= 10.4 m/s

W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 10.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J

W=2636.4 J

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J

A cutting tool several forces acting on it. One force is F=-axy^2 j , a force in the negative y-direction whose magnitude depend
liq [111]
The force on the tool is entirely in the negative-y direction.
So no work is done during any moves in the x-direction.

The work will be completely defined by

                     (Force) x (distance in the y-direction),

and it won't matter what route the tool follows to get anywhere. 
Only the initial and final y-coordinates matter.

We know that    F = - 2.85 y².  (I have no idea what that ' j ' is doing there.)
Remember that 'F' is pointing down.

From  y=0  to  y=2.40  is a distance of  2.40  upward.

Sadly, since the force is not linear over the distance, I don't think
we can use the usual formula for  Work = (force) x (distance).
I think instead we'll need to integrate the force over the distance,
and I can't wait to see whether I still know how to do that.

        Work  =  integral of (F·dy) evaluated from  0  to  2.40

                  =  integral of (-2.85 y² dy) evaluated from  0  to  2.40

                 =  (-2.85) · integral of  (y² dy)  evaluated from  0  to  2.40 .


Now, integral of (y² dy)  =  1/3  y³ .

Evaluated from  0  to  2.40 , it's  (1/3 · 2.40³) - (1/3 · 0³)

                                            =  1/3 · 13.824  =  4.608 .

And the work  =  (-2.85) · the integral

                     =  (-2.85) · (4.608)

                     =      - 13.133  .

-- There are no units in the question (except for that mysterious ' j ' after the 'F',
which totally doesn't make any sense at all).
If the ' F ' is newtons and the 2.40 is meters, then the  -13.133 is joules.

-- The work done by the force is negative, because the force points
DOWN but we lifted the tool UP to 2.40.  Somebody had to provide
13.133 of positive work to lift the tool up against the force, and the force
itself did 13.133 of negative work to 'allow' the tool to move up. 

-- It doesn't matter whether the tool goes there along the line  x=y , or
by some other route.  WHATEVER the route is, the work done by ' F ' 
is going to total up to be  -13.133 joules at the end of the day.

As I hinted earlier, the last time I actually studied integration was in 1972,
and I haven't really used it too much since then.  But that's my answer
and I'm stickin to it.  If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, and I hope somebody
will show me where I'm wrong.

Explain the law of inertia in your own words.
natita [175]

A

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by a force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a force.
