You watch distant Sally Homemaker driving nails into a front porch at a regular rate of 1 stroke per second. You hear the sound

of the blows exactly synchronized with the blows you see. And then you hear one more blow after you see the hammering stop. How far away is she?

Answer: 343meters away

Explanation:

The velocity of sound in air is approx 343m/s

SO,

Velocity = distance/time taken.

The time taken is 1second only.

Distance = velocity × time

Distance = 343 × 1 = 343meters.

What statements correctly describe theories
elixir [45]

Theories result from several repeated experiments.

Theories explain observations and hypotheses.

Theories may be revised over time.

Explanation:

Scientific theories are purely explanations into an observation and hypothesis. The are general binding explanations that have been developed from several tests.

  • Theories are products of different stages of experiments in their own regard.
  • For a theory to be accepted by the scientific community, its hypothesis statement must be:
  1. Testable
  2. Repeated
  3. Falsifiable
  • Based on new evidence, a theory may be revised with time. One of such is the Dalton's atomic theory with a modern atomic theory version now.

A uniform thin wire is bent into a quarter-circle of radius a = 20.0 cm, and placed in the first quadrant. Determine the coordin
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

r_{cm}=[12.73,12.73]cm

Explanation:

The general equation to calculate the center of mass is:

r_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits {r} \, dm

Any differential of mass can be calculated as:

dm = \lambda*a*d\theta  Where "a" is the radius of the circle and λ is the linear density of the wire.

The linear density is given by:

\lambda=M/L=M/(a*\pi/2)=\frac{2M}{a\pi}

So, the differential of mass is:

dm = \frac{2M}{a\pi}*a*d\theta

dm = \frac{2M}{\pi}*d\theta

Now we proceed to calculate X and Y coordinates of the center of mass separately:

X_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits^{\pi/2}_0 {a*cos\theta*2M/\pi} \, d\theta

Y_{cm}=1/M*\int\limits^{\pi/2}_0 {a*sin\theta*2M/\pi} \, d\theta

Solving both integrals, we get:

X_{cm}=2*a/\pi=12.73cm

Y_{cm}=2*a/\pi=12.73cm

Therefore, the position of the center of mass is:

r_{cm}=[12.73,12.73]cm

Which of the following quantities represent mass?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) 12.0 lbs  -  mass

b ) .34 g   - mass

c ) 120 kg    - mass  

As lbs , g and kg are units of mass , these things represent mass . lbs is FPS unit of mass and kg is  SI unit . g is CGS unit of force .

d ) 1600 kN     It represents force because kN or kilonewton is unit of  force .

e ) it represents , length or distance because m or metre  is unit of length .

f ) 411 cm It represents length or distance because cm is smaller unit of length

g ) 899 MN or million newton .  Like d ) It also represents force . Million newton is higher unit of force .
