The Kelly family and the Garcia family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Kelly family's spri

nkler was 35L per hour. The water output rate for the Garcia family's sprinkler was 20L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 45 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1350L. How long was each sprinkler used?

Answer:

30 hours

15 hours.

Explanation:

Let the Kelly used sprinkler for t hours and Gracia used the sprinkler for the rest ie (45 - t) hours .

Water output by Kelly = (35 x t) L

Water output by Gracia = 20 ( 45 - t ) L

Total output = 35t + 20(45 - t)

So, 35 t + 20 (45 - t ) = 1350

35 t + 900 - 20 t = 1350

15 t = 450

t = 30 hours

So Kelly used sprinkler for 30 hours and Gracia used it for 45 - 30 = 15 hours.

A lion has a mass of 45 kg. Answer the following questions about it, using correct units. a. The lion runs at a speed of 14.2 m/

Eva8 [605]

A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(45 kg)(14.2 m/s)^2=4537 J$

b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:
$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
where g is the gravitational acceleration, and $\Delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem, $\Delta h=28 m$ , so the increase in gravitational potential energy is
$\Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(28 m)=12361 J$

c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is
$U=mgh=(1.8 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.8 m)=67 J$
As it jumps, its kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1.8 kg)(8.1 m/s)^2=59 J$
So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
$E=U+K=67 J + 59 J =126 J$

Why is cathode positive in leclanche cell??

laila [671]

Answer:

Because the zinc is reluctant

Explanation:

A leclanche cell contains a conducting solution (electrolyte) of ammonium chloride, a cathode (positive terminal) of carbon, a depolarizer of manganese dioxide (oxidizer), and an anode (negative terminal) of zinc (reductant).

As the Zn2+ ions move away from the anode, leaving their electrons on its surface,

Zn → Zn2+ + 2e−

the anode becomes more negatively charged than the cathode. When the cell is connected to an external electrical circuit, the excess electrons on the zinc anode flow through the circuit to the carbon rod, the movement of electrons forming an electric current.

A water balloon is dropped out of a fifth floor window and hits an unsuspecting person below 4.0 seconds later. The window is ap

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

80 meters high

Explanation:

The velocity of the balloon would be g*t (I won't calculate, but will us this later)

We know that the kinetic energy at the bottom equals the potential at the top.

KE = PE

1/2 * m * v^2 = m * g * h

1/2 * m * (g * t)^2 = m * g * h (substitution)

1/2 * m * g^2 * t^2 = m * g * h

1/2 * g * t^2 = h (simplification by dividing the commons between both sides)

h = 1/2 * 9.81 * 4^2

h = 78.48 m (roughly 80 m)

Car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rearended by car B(mass 1400 kg). Both cars then slide with locke

viva [34]

Answer:

Part a)

$v_a = 3.94 m/s$

Part b)

$v_b = 3.35 m/s$

Part C)

$v_b = 6.44 m/s$

Part d)

Due to large magnitude of friction between road and the car the momentum conservation may not be valid here as momentum conservation is valid only when external force on the system is zero.

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that car A moves by distance 6.1 m after collision under the frictional force

so the deceleration due to friction is given as

$a = -\frac{F_f}{m}$

$a = -\frac{\mu mg}{m}$

$a = - \mu g$

now we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad$

$0 - v_i^2 = 2(-\mu g)(6.1)$

$v_a = \sqrt{(2(0.13)(9.81)(6.1)}$

$v_a = 3.94 m/s$

Part b)

Similarly for car B the distance of stop is given as 4.4 m

so we will have

$v_b = \sqrt{2(0.13)(9.81)(4.4)}$

$v_b = 3.35 m/s$

Part C)

By momentum conservation we will have

$m_1v_{1i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$1400 v_b = 1100(3.94) + 1400(3.35)$

$v_b = 6.44 m/s$

Part d)

Due to large magnitude of friction between road and the car the momentum conservation may not be valid here as momentum conservation is valid only when external force on the system is zero.
