Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}$

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the

cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}$

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 =(2.0)^2 + 2\times 9.8 \times 7.5}$

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 =151 m/s}$

$\mathbf{v_f =\sqrt{151 m/s}}$

$\mathbf{v_f =12.29 \ m/s}$

From the equation of continuity:

$\mathbf{A_iV_i = A_fV_f}$

$\mathbf{\pi r^2_iV_i = \pi r^2_fV_f}$

$\mathbf{ r^2_iV_i = r^2_fV_f}$

$\mathbf{ (\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times 2.0 = r_f^2 \times 12.29}$

$\mathbf{ 50 = 12.29 \times r_f^2}$

$\mathbf{ r_f= \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{12.29} }}$

$\mathbf{ V_f= 2.02 \ cm }$

Since diameter = 2r;

∴

The diameter of the column of the water is:

= 2(2.02) cm

= 4.04 cm

The noise level coming from a pig pen with

sweet [91]

Answer:

The decibel of the remaining pigs is 51.5 dB.

Explanation:

Decibel (dB) is a unit of measure of the intensity of a given sound.

Number of pigs = 199, noise level = 74.3 dB.

Given that the intensity (I) of the sound from the pen is proportional to the number of pigs (N), thus:

I $\alpha$ N

I = kN

where k is the constant of proportionality.

⇒ k = $\frac{I}{N}$

= $\frac{74.3}{199}$

k = 0.3734

When 61 numbers of pigs were removed, the number of remaining pigs (N) squealing at their original level is 138.

Thus, the becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs can be determined by:

I = kN

= 0.3734 × 138

= 51.53 dB

The becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs is 51.53 dB.

Why shouldn't we consider the needs of humans first

Orlov [11]

Answer:

We should not consider the needs of humans first because Conservation of nature is more important.

Explanation:

Human beings are important but the priority must be given to nature. Human beings have uncountable needs and if we focus on satisfying all such needs then it will affect our nature. Because finally our needs are fulfilled by using the resources from nature.

So rather than considering the needs of humans first, we must try to preserve our nature as much as possible. It is not done then it will lead to disaster.

A television of mass 12 kg sits on a table. The coefficient of static friction between the table and the television is 0.83. Wha

Zinaida [17]

The normal reaction between the television and the table is
N = 12 × 9.8 m/s² = 117.6 Newtons

But the static coefficient of friction is μ = 0.83

When the television is about to slide on the table, the applied force should overcome the force due to static friction;
Thus; the applied force should be at least
F = μN
= 0.83 × 117.6 N
= 97.608 Newtons
Therefore; the minimum applied force will be 97.6 Newtons.
