A brush fire is burning on a rock ledge on one side of a ravine that is 25 m wide. A fire truck sits on the opposite side of the

ravine at an elevation 4.5 m above the burning brush. The fire hose nozzle is aimed 35∘ above horizontal, and the firefighters control the water velocity by adjusting the water pressure. Because the water supply at a wilderness fire is limited, the firefighters want to use as little as possible.
At what speed should the stream of water leave the hose so that the water hits the fire on the first shot?

Answer:

v_o = 30.5 m/s

Explanation:

Height of the hose pipe is given as

y = 4.5 m

horizontal distance is given as

x = 25 m

angle of elevation is given as 35 degree with the horizontal

now we know that the horizontal distance moved is given as

x = (v_ocos35) t

y = 4.5 + (v_o sin35) t - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

now we have

25 = v_o(0.82)t

also we have

0 = 4.5 + 0.57 v_o t - 4.9 t^2

0 = 4.5 + (0.57)(0.82) - 4.9 t^2

t = 1.00 s

so we have

v_o = 30.5 m/s

The first-order decomposition of cyclopropane has a rate constant of 6.7 × 10–4 s–1. If the initial concentration of cyclopropan
Ket [755]

Answer:

.864 M

Explanation:

For first order decomposition,

rate constant k = 1/t x ln a / (a - x )

given , a = 1.33 M , t = 644 s , k = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴ , a - x  = ? = b( let )

6.7 x 10 ⁻⁴ = 1/644 x ln 1.33/b

ln 1.33/b = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴ x 644 = .4315

1.33 / b = e⁰ ⁴³¹⁵ = 1.5395

b = 1.33 / 1.5395 = .864 M.

2. Define Lightning conductor. How does it work?
tresset_1 [31]

In Building, there are a host of protective devices that are installed to protect lives and properties, one of them is the Lightning Conductor that  a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. It works on the principle of induction

<h3>Principle of Operation of Lightning Conductor</h3>

The lightning conductor works on the principle of induction:

  • When a charged cloud passes by the building hosting the Lightning conductor, it gets a charge opposite to that of the cloud through the process of induction.
  • They are Typically made from copper material.

Most Lightening conductors are made from copper materials.
