An ant crawls along a sidewalk with a velocity of 0.1 m/s in a direction that is 45° relative to edge of the sidewalk. If it has

traveled 1 m perpendicular to the edge of the sidewalk, how long has it been walking?

B.) 5 s

C.) 14 s

D.) 45 s

Answer:14 s

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of ant is 0.1 m/s in a direction $45^{\circ}$

if it has traveled 1 m perpendicular to the edge of the sidewalk

i.e. from diagram

$\sin 45=\frac{1}{L}$

$L=\sqrt{2}$

$time=\frac{Distance}{speed}$

$t=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{0.1}$

$t=14.14 s$

A sealed container holding 0.0255 L of an ideal gas at 0.981 atm and 65 ∘ C is placed into a refrigerator and cooled to 41 ∘ C w

user100 [1]

Answer:

0.911 atm

Explanation:

In this problem, there is no change in volume of the gas, since the container is sealed.

Therefore, we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

$p\propto T$

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

For a gas undergoing a transformation, the law can be rewritten as:

$\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}$

where in this problem:

$p_1=0.981 atm$ is the initial pressure of the gas

$T_1=65^{\circ}+273=338 K$ is the initial absolute temperature of the gas

$T_2=41^{\circ}+273=314 K$ is the final temperature of the gas

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure of the gas:

$p_2=\frac{p_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(0.981)(314)}{338}=0.911 atm$

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, $d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }$ ..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, $\lambda$ = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

$A_{m}$ = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

$sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}$

$sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}$

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

$d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m$

There is a refrigerator running in a room, the heat flowing into the refrigerator from the outside is 40 J/s, and the refrigerat

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(A) 140 j/sec (b) 1.26 K

Explanation:

We have given the heat heat flowing into the refrigerator = 40 J/sec

Work done = 40 W

(a) So the heat discharged from the refrigerator $=heat\ flowing\ in\ refrigerator+work\ done=40+100=140j/sec$

(b) Total heat absorbed =140 j/sec $=140\times 3600=504000j/hour$

Let the temperature be $\Delta T$

Heat absorbed per hour =504000 $[tex]=400\times 10^3\times \Delta T$

So $\Delta T=\frac{504000}{400000}=1.26K$

How do the lungs and heart transport oxygen in the cardio respiratory system

harina [27]
