Answer: 24.2

Explanation:

Given that:

Time taken for sound travel = 0.02 seconds

Speed of traveling sound wave = 1210 m/s

Depth of pond = ?

Recall that speed is obtained by dividing the distance covered (depth travelled) by the time taken.

Hence, speed = (depth travelled / time taken)

1210 m/s = depth travelled / 0.02 seconds

Depth travelled = 1210 m/s x 0.02 seconds

Depth travelled = 24.2 m

Thus, the pond is 24.2 metres deep

A 0.50-kg block slides across a tabletop with an initial velocity of 20 cm/s and comes to rest in a distance of 70 cm. Find the

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

FAE= 0.014 N

Explanation:

The KE of block is decreased because of the slowing action of the friction force .

Change in KE of block = work done on block by friction ƒ

⠀ ➪ ½mu²ƒ - ½mu²i = Fƒs cos θ

Because the friction force on the block is opposite in direction to the displacement , cos θ = -1

➢ Using Uƒ = 0 , Vƒ = 0.20 m/s , and s = 0.70 m

✒ We find ,

➪½mu²ƒ - ½mu²i = Fƒs cos θ

➪0-½ (0.50 kg) (0.20 m/s)² = (Fƒ) (0.70 m) (-1)

➪ Fƒ = 0.014 N

Determine the image distance and image height for a 5.00 cm tall object placed 30.0 cm from a double convex lens with a focal le

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The image distance is 30 cm

image height = - 5 cm

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the image distance is expressed as

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

where

f is the focal length

u is the object distance

v is the image distance

From the information given,

u = 30

f = 15

By substituting these values into the formula,

1/15 = 1/30 + 1/v

1/v = 1/15 - 1/30 = (2 - 1)/30 = 1/30

Taking the reciprocal of both sides,

v = 30

The image distance is 30 cm

magnification = image height/object height = - v/u

Given that object height = 5 cm, then

image height/5 = - 30/30 = - 1

image height = - 5 * 1

image height = - 5 cm

An inverse-time circuit breaker (CB) is used for branch-circuit short-circuit and ground-fault protection for a 30-horsepower, 2

Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

Motor rating is given in horsepower (hp), it will be converted in watt (W).

Standard to install circuit breaker for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Rated Current of the circuit

while

Standard to install overload relay for an electric circuit is usually 20% ~ 25% more than the Running Current of the circuit.

So, to find the maximum capacity of the circuit breaker, rated current of the motor will be multiplied by 1.2 ~ 1.25

Step by Step Explanation:

30hp = 22371W (as 1hp = 745.7)

Assuming unity power factor (cosФ=1) and 208V phase to phase voltage:

Rated Power (watt) = √3 . V.I. cosФ

{if 208V is phase to neutral voltage, then use following formula:

Rated Power (watt) = 3 . V.I. cosФ}

$\frac{22371}{\sqrt{3} * 208 * 1} = I$

Rated Current = 62.169A

So, required maximum rating for circuit breaker is:

20% to 25% of the rated current = 62.17*1.2 ~ 62.17*1.25

=74.6A ~ 77.7A

Hence, any breaker between the above mentioned rating will be appropriate.

Some giant ocean waves have a wavelength of 25 m and a frequency of

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The frequency equation for waves is

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$ where f is the frequency, v is the velocity, and lambda is the wavelength. Filling in:

$.26=\frac{v}{25}$ so

v = .26(25) and

v = 6.5 meters/second

2 - second law

3 - first law

4 - third law

5 - second law

6 - first law

Explanation:

First law

In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.

Second law

In an inertial frame of reference, the vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration, a of the object

F = ma.

Third law

When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
