Solve the question that follows using the equation for the conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit. F=95(C)+32 On February 9, 1934,

the temperature in Buffalo, NY was −29∘C. On the same day in Anchorage, AL, it was 19∘F. Which city was colder on that day? If you do not know how to convert both values to the same temperature scale, open the Hints link to step through the problem.

Answer:

Buffalo, NY

Explanation:

Temperature in Buffalo, NY = -29°C

In order to compare the temperatures we need to convert them to the same scale.

$F=\dfrac{9}{5}C+32\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{9}{5}\times -29+32\\\Rightarrow F=-20.2$

So, the temperature in Buffalo, NY was -20.2°F and the temperature in Anchorage, AL was 19°F.

Hence, it was colder in Buffalo, NY than in Anchorage, AL.

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}$

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

$a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}$

$a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}$

$a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}$

$a'=4\times a$

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.

A train traveled from Station A to Station B at an average speed of 80 kilometers per hour and then from Station B to Station C

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1)

75 kmh⁻¹

2)

75 kmh⁻¹

Explanation:

1)

$v_{ab}$ = Speed of train from station A to station B = 80 kmh⁻¹

$d_{ab}$ = distance traveled from station A to station B

$t_{ab}$ = time of travel between station A to station B

we know that

$Time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

$t_{ab} = \frac{d_{ab}}{v_{ab}} = \frac{d_{ab}}{80}$

$d_{bc}$ = distance traveled from station B to station C

$v_{bc}$ = Speed of train from station B to station C = 60 kmh⁻¹

$t_{bc} = \frac{d_{bc}}{v_{bc}} = \frac{d_{bc}}{60}$

Total distance traveled is given as

$d = d_{ab} + d_{bc}$

Total time of travel is given as

$t = t_{ab} + t_{bc}$

Average speed is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{d}{t} \\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{(\frac{d_{ab}}{80} ) + (\frac{d_{bc}}{60} ) }$

Given that :

$d_{ab} = 4 d_{bc}$

So

$v_{avg} = \frac{4 d_{bc} + d_{bc}}{(\frac{4 d_{bc}}{80} ) + (\frac{d_{bc}}{60} ) }\\v_{avg} = \frac{4 + 1}{(\frac{4 }{80} ) + (\frac{1}{60} ) }\\v_{avg} = 75 kmh^{-1}$

2)

$v_{ab}$ = Speed of train from station A to station B = 80 kmh⁻¹

$t_{ab}$ = time of travel between station A to station B

$d_{ab}$ = distance traveled from station A to station B

we know that

$distance = (speed) (time)$

$d_{ab} = v_{ab} t_{ab}\\d_{ab} = 80 t_{ab}$

$d_{bc}$ = distance traveled from station B to station C

$v_{bc}$ = Speed of train from station B to station C = 60 kmh⁻¹

$t_{bc}$ = time of travel for train from station B to station C

we know that

$distance = (speed) (time)$

$d_{bc} = v_{bc} t_{bc}\\d_{bc} = 60 t_{bc}$

Total distance traveled is given as

$d = d_{ab} + d_{bc}\\d = 80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}$

Total time of travel is given as

$t = t_{ab} + t_{bc}$

Average speed is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{d}{t} \\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}$

Given that :

$t_{ab} = 3 t_{bc}$

So

$v_{avg} = \frac{80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{80 (3) t_{bc} + 60 t_{bc}}{(3) t_{bc} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{(300) t_{bc}}{(4) t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = 75 kmh^{-1}$
