Answer:

distance in east is 1273.78 m

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 1.32 m/s west =

hike = 5.21 km = 5.21 × 10³ m

average velocity = 3.49 m/s west

average velocity = 0.687 m/s east

to find out

distance in east

solution

we consider here distance in east  is = x

so distance from starting point = 5.21 × 10³ - x        ...................1

and we can say time required to reach end

time required = distance / speed

time required = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{1.32}    ................2

and

time required for 6.44 km west

time required = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{3.49}    ................3

and time required for distance x

time required = \frac{x}{0.687}    ................4

so from equation 2 , 3 and 4

\frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{1.32} = \frac{5.21 *10^3 - x}{3.49}  + \frac{x}{0.687}

x = 1273.78 m

so distance in east is 1273.78 m

A cubic metal box with sides of 17 cm contains air at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 278 K. The box is sealed so that
const2013 [10]

Answer:

F = 3.98 kN

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

sides of box = 17 cm

pressure = 1 atm = 101325 N/m2

T2 = 378K

T1 = 278 K

final pressure can be calculate by using below relation

\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}

we know that

force = pressure * area

therefore force is

F =(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}*P_{1})A

F =(\frac{378}{278}*101325)(17*10^{-2})^{2}

F = 3.98 kN
