Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

A heated piece of metal cools according to the function $c(x) = (0.5)^{x-11}$

And a device which aids in cooling is added is represented by the function h(x) = -x - 3

Temperature of the metal after x hours will be represented by

c(x) + h(x) = $(0.5)^{x-11}+(-x-3)$

= $(0.5)^{x-11}-x-3$

We have to find the temperature after 5 hours

So c(5) - h(5) = $(0.5)^{5-11}-5-3$

= $(0.5)^{-6}-8$

= 64 - 8

= 56° Celsius

Option D is the answer.

You just need to replace x with 5 in each function

.5^5 - 11
-5-3

.5 ^-6
-8

64 - 8 = 56 A Celcius

Hope this helps

A meter stick is suspended vertically at a pivot point 22 cm from the top end. It is rotated on the pivot until it is horizontal

suter [353]

Answer:

5.82812 rad/s

Explanation:

L = Length of meter stick = 1 m = 100 cm

$m_c$ = The center of mass of the stick = $\frac{L}{2}-0.22=0.5-0.22=0.28\ m$

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

$I=I_c+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{mL^2}{12}+mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{m1^2}{12}+m0.28^2\\\Rightarrow I=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)$

As the energy in the system is conserved

$mgh=I\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow mgh=m(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow gh=(\frac{1}{12}+0.0784)\frac{\omega^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.81\times 0.28}{\frac{1}{12}+0.0784}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=5.82812\ rad/s$

The maximum angular velocity is 5.82812 rad/s

Two wires with the same resistance have the same diameter but different lengths. If wire 1 has length L 1 and wire 2 has length

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Length of wire 1= $L_1$

Length of wire 2= $L_2$

Resistivity of copper wire= $\rho_1=1.7\times 10^{-5}\Omega-m$

Resistivity of aluminum wire= $\rho_2=2.82\times 10^{-5}\Omega-m$

Wire 1=Copper wire

Wire 2=Aluminum wire

Diameter of both wires are same and resistance of both wires are also same.

We know that

Resistance = $\frac{\rho l}{A}$

When diameter of wires are same then their cross section area are also same .

$l=\frac{RA}{\rho}$

When resistance and area are same then the length of wire depend upon the resistivity of wire .

The length of wire is inversely proportional to resistivity.

When resistivity is greater then the length of wire will be short and when the resistivity is small then the length of wire will be large.

$\rho_1$

Therefore, $L_1>L_2$

Hence, the length of wire 1 (copper wire) is greater than the length of wire 2 (aluminum).

$\frac{L_1}{L_2}=\frac{\frac{RA}{1.7\times 10^{-5}}}{\frac{RA}{2.82\times 10^{-5}}}=1.66$

$L_1=1.66L_2$

. Boa constrictor snakes have tiny pelvic girdles and leg bones within their bodies. Since these structures are not functional,

blondinia [14]

Those organic structures that do not seem to play any important biological function in the organism that possesses them are known as vestigial structures.

<h2>What is a vestigial structure?</h2>

A vestigial structure is one that has atrophied or lost its original function throughout the course of evolution.

It generally refers to those organic structures that were useful at some point, but are now practically or totally useless.

These structures are preserved as an inheritance of the evolutionary process, because at some point an ancestor of the current species had that structure, which was functional, but it ceased to be important and would end up atrophy.

Therefore, we can conclude that vestigial structures are structures that some organisms still conserve as an inheritance from their ancestors but that, for some reason or another, are no longer useful for the functioning of the same.

A ball has an electric charge of +1.5 × 10-9 coulombs. At what distance from the ball's center is the electric field strength eq

Veronika [31]

F = kq1q2/r<span>2
Where,
F - Coulomb Force
k - constant value which is equal to </span>8.98 × 10^9<span> newton square metre per square coulomb
q1 and q2 - two electric charges
r - distance.

5.8 * 10^5 = 1.5 * 10^-9 / r^2
</span><span>5.8 * 10^5 r^2 = 1.5*10^-9
</span>r^2 = 0.0000258620
r = 0.0050854694

So the distance is equal to 5.09 x 10^-3
