Answer:

Explanation:

height of Ellipse =30 cm  

i.e. 2 a=30

Width of Ellipse =22 cm

i.e. 2 b=22

Equation of a vertical Ellipse is

\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1

a=15 ,b =11

\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{y^2}{15^2}=1

at y=4 cm

\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{4^2}{15^2}=1  

x=\frac{11}{15}\times \sqrt{15^2-4^2}

x=10.6 cm

In a discussion person A is talking 1.2 dB louder than person B, and person C is talking 3.2 dB louder than person A. What is th
liberstina [14]

Answer: 3.84dB

Explanation:

Since person A is talking 1.2dB louder than B, we will have

A = 1.2B... (1)

Similarly, person C is talking 3.2 dB louder than person A, we have

C = 3.2A... (2)

From equation 1, B = A/1.2... (3)

To get the ratio of the sound intensity of person C to the sound intensity of person B, we will divide equation 2 by 3 to give

C/B = 3.2A/{A/1.2}

C/B = 3.2A×1.2/A

C/B = 3.2×1.2

C/B = 3.84dB

What is the reaction for P₄ + 5 O₂ --> 2 P₂O₅
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Combination or synthesis

Explanation:

The reaction is a combination or synthesis reaction in which two or more substances combines to give a single product.

In such a reaction there is formation of compounds from the union of their constituent elements.

 The driving force for such reactions is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.

So, this is a combination reaction.

A 0.02kg dart is loaded into a toy spring gun by compressing the spring 6cm. If the spring has a constant of 20 N/m, find… a. Th
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m
