Waves on a swimming pool propagate at 0.720 m/s. You splash the water at one end of the pool and observe the wave go to the oppo

site end, reflect, and return in 31.0 s. How far away is the other end of the pool?

Answer:

11.16 m

Explanation:

total distance traveled by the wave = speed * time

= 0.720 m/s * 31.0 s

= 22.32 m

Since this is an echo back to the starting point then the length of the swimming pool must be half of the distance traveled.

length of swimming pool = 22.32 m÷2 = 11.16 m

Dario, a prep cook at an Italian restaurant, spins a salad spinner and observes that it rotates 20.0 times in 5.00 seconds and t

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

$-\frac{8\pi}{3}rad/s^2$

Explanation:

To solve this problem we need to apply the concept related to Angular Acceleration. We can find it through the equation

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha\theta$

Where for definition,

$\omega_i = \frac{\theta}{t}$

The number of revolution $(\theta)$ was given by 20 times, then

$\omega_i = \frac{20*2pi}{5}$

$\omega = 8\pi rad/s$

We know as well that the salad rotates 6 more times, therefore in angle measurements that is

$\theta = 6*2\pi rad = 12\pi rad$

The cook at the end stop to spin, then using our first equation,

$0-8\pi = 2\alpha (12\pi)$

re-arrange to solve $\alpha$ ,

$\alpha = \frac{-8\pi}{2*12\pi}$

$\alpha = -\frac{8\pi}{3}rad/s^2$

We can know find the required time,

$\omega_f-\omega_i = \alpha t$

Re-arrange to find t, and considering that $\omega_f=0$

$t= \frac{\omega_i}{\alpha}$

$t=\frac{-8\pi}{-8\pi/3}$

$t=3s$

Therefore take for the salad spinner to come to rest is 3 seconds with acceleration of $-\frac{8\pi}{3}rad/s^2$

The pressure and absolute temperature of an ideal gas are both tripled, the volume is __________. not changed

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Not Changed

Explanation:

To know what happened with the volume you need to know the Ideal gas Law

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T1} =\frac{P_{2}V_{2} }{T2}$

This law is a combination of the other four laws: Boyles's, Charles's, Avogadro's, and Guy-Lussac's.

The initial state is represented by P1, V1, T1 and the final by P2, V2, T2.

In this case:

$T_{2} =3T_{1} \\P_{2} =3P_{1}$

Replacing on the equation

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T1} =\frac{3P_{1}V_{2}}{3T_{1} }$

If we clear from the equation V2

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}3T_{1}}{T_{1} 3P_{1}} ={V_{2}}$

Then cancel both P1 and T1

$\frac{3V_{1}}{3} =V_{2}$

You will found that

$V_{1} =V_{2}$
