To determine the height of a tall building such as Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois a ball was dropped from the top of the build

ing to the ground. If the time was measured to be 9.5 s. Find height of Sears Tower in feet. (Use 1 foot = 0.305 m).

Answer:

The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 feet.

Explanation:

<h3>We apply the free fall formula to the ball: </h3><h3>y=v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2}</h3><h3>y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t  </h3><h3>v_{o}i: Initial speed </h3><h3>g=Gravity acceleration=9.8*(\frac{\frac{1ft}{0.305m} }{s^{2} } )</h3>

Known information

We know that the vertical distance (y) that the ball moves in 9,5s  is equal to height of Sears Tower (h).  

Too we know that the ball is released from rest, then,v_{0}=0

Height of Sears Tower calculation:

We replace  in the equation 1 the data following;

y=h

v_{o} =0

g=32,1\frac{ft}{s^{2} }

t= 9,5s

h=0*9.5+\frac{1}{2} *32.1*9.5^{2}

h=1448.5 ft

Answer: The height of Sears Tower is 1448.5 ft

An air-standard Diesel cycle has a compression ratio of 16 and a cutoff ratio of 2. At the beginning of the compression process,
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

a.T_3=1723.8kPa\\b.n=0.563\\c.MEP=674.95kPa

Explanation:

a. Internal energy and the relative specific volume at s_1 are determined  from A-17:u_1=214.07kJ/kg, \ \alpha_r_1=621.2.

The relative specific volume at s_2 is calculated from the compression ratio:

\alpha_r_2=\frac{\alpha_r_1}{r}\\=\frac{621.2}{16}\\=38.825

#from this, the temperature and enthalpy at state 2,s_2 can be determined using interpolations T_2=862K and h_2=890.9kJ/kg. The specific volume at s_1 can then be determined as:

\alpha_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}\\\\=\frac{0.287\times 300}{95} m^3/kg\\0.906316m^3/kg

Specific volume,s_2:

\alpha_2=\frac{\alpha_1}{r}\\=\frac{0.906316}{16}m^3/kg\\=0.05664m^3/kg

The pressures at s_2 \ and\  s_3 is:

P_2=P_3=\frac{RT_2}{\alpha_2}\\\\=\frac{0.287\times862}{0.05664}\\=4367.06kPa

.The thermal efficiency=> maximum temperature at s_3 can be obtained from the expansion work at constant pressure during s_2-s_3

\bigtriangleup \omega_2_-_3=P(\alpha_3-\alpha_2)\\R(T_3-T_2)=P\alpha(r_c-1)\\T_3=T_2+\frac{P\alpha_2}{R}(r_c-1)\\\\=(862+\frac{4367\times 0.05664}{0.287}(2-1))K\\=1723.84K

b.Relative SV and enthalpy  at s_3 are obtained for the given temperature with interpolation with data from A-17 :a_r_3=4.553 \ and\  h_3=1909.62kJ/kg

Relative SV at s_4 is

a_r_4=\frac{r}{r_c}\alpha _r_3

==\frac{16}{2}\times4.533\\=36.424

Thermal efficiency occurs when the heat loss is equal to the internal energy decrease and heat gain equal to enthalpy increase;

n=1-\frac{q_o}{q_i}\\=1-\frac{u_4-u_1}{h_3-h_2}\\=1-\frac{65903-214.07}{1909.62-890.9}\\=0.563

Hence, the thermal efficiency is 0.563

c. The mean relative pressure is calculated from its standard definition:

MEP=\frac{\omega}{\alpa_1-\alpa_2}\\=\frac{q_i-q_o}{\alpha_1(1-1/r)}\\=\frac{1909.62-890.9-(65903-214.7)}{0.90632(1-1/16)}\\=674.95kPa

Hence, the mean effective relative pressure is 674.95kPa

Fault block mountains form when large blocks of crust are and tilted along normal faults
Katarina [22]
Fault block mountains form when large blocks of crust are uplifted and tilted along normal faults. The uplifted blocks are called block mountains. They are formed by the movement of large crustal blocks<span> when forces in the Earth's crust pull it apart. Some parts of the Earth are pushed upward and others collapse down.</span>

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
