Answer:

the volume of the gas decreases

Explanation:

As a balloon rises through the atmosphere, the air pressure around it decreases and the balloon expands.

Good luck!

a hunter 412.5m from a cliff moves a distance x towards the cliff and fires a gun. he hears the echo from the cliff after 2.2sec
Inessa [10]

Answer: 49.5 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound s is given by a relation between the distance d and the time t:

s=\frac{d}{t} (1)

Where:

s=330 m/s is the speed of sound in air (taking into account this value may vary according to the medium the sound wave travels)

d=412.5 m-x since we are told th hunter was initially 412.5 meters from the cliff and then moves a distance x towards the cliff

t=\frac{2.2 s}{2}=1.1 s Since the time given as data (2.2 s) is the time it takes to the sound wave to travel from the hunter's gun and then go back to the position where the hunter is after being reflected by the cliff

Having this information clarified, let's isolate d and then find x:

d=st (2)

412.5 m-x=(330 m/s)(1.1 s) (3)

Finding x:

x=49.5 m This is the distance at which the hunter is from the cliff.

what is the difference between stirring hot soup with a wooden spoon and a metal spoon? what physical property is being observed
AnnyKZ [126]

Wooden spoons don't quickly heat to hot temperatures not nearly as fast as metal does. Metal conducts heat faster than wood — if the head of the spoon is in a hot liquid, the handle will get hot faster if it's made out of a metal.

The area of the piston to the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system of a car is 0.6 square inches. If a force of 5.6 lb
balu736 [363]

Answer:

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.

Explanation:

Force applied on the piston = F_1=5.6 lb

Area of the piston = A_1=0.6 inches^2

Force applied on the brakes = F_2

Area of the brakes = A_2=1.8 inches^2

Applying Pascal's law: 'For an incompressible fluid pressure at one surface is equal to the pressure at other surface'.

\frac{F_1}{A_2}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

F_2=\frac{5.6 lb\times 1.8 inhes^2}{0.6 inches^2}=16.8 lb

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.

You collect some more data on that horse at a later time interval, but now you are measuring thehorse’s velocity, not its positi
Monica [59]

Answer:

a)  x(t) = 10t + (2/3)*t^3

b) x*(0.1875) = 10.18 m

Explanation:

Note: The position of the horse is x = 2m. There is a typing error in the question. Otherwise, The solution to cubic equation holds a negative value of time t.

Given:

- v(t) = 10 + 2*t^2 (radar gun)

- x*(t) = 10 + 5t^2 + 3t^3  (our coordinate)

Find:

-The position x of horse as a function of time t in radar system.

-The position of the horse at x = 2m in our coordinate system

Solution:

- The position of horse according to radar gun:

                              v(t) = dx / dt = 10 + 2*t^2

- Separate variables:

                              dx = (10 + 2*t^2).dt

- Integrate over interval x = 0 @ t= 0

                             x(t) = 10t + (2/3)*t^3

- time @ x = 2 :

                              2 = 10t + (2/3)*t^3

                              0 = 10t + (2/3)*t^3 + 2

- solve for t:

                              t = 0.1875 s

- Evaluate x* at t = 0.1875 s

                              x*(0.1875) = 10 + 5(0.1875)^2 + 3(0.1875)^3

                              x*(0.1875) = 10.18 m
