Answer:

Sinkhole fatalities are rare, but they do occur sometimes. Also fatalities are more likely where sinkholes are common. For example, sinkholes are more common in Florida than in California, so you would more likely die from a sinkhole in Florida than you would in California.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The current through R4 = 0.5865 mA

Explanation:

To solve this we list out the known thus

Voltage source = 45-V

Firsrt parallel circiuit has resistances of R1 = 17 kΩ and R2 = 23 kΩ

Second parallel circiuit has resistances of R3 = 45 kΩ and R4 = 55 kΩ

we first find the current flowing in the circuit by finding thr sum of the total resistance in eah parallel circuit

Firsrt parallel circiuit, for circuit in parallel, sum of resistance 1/RT1 = 1/ R1 + 1/R2 = 1/17+1/23 = 0.1023017 therefore RT1 = 1/0.1023017 = 9.775 kΩ

Similarly we have for the second parallel circuit 1/RT2 = 1/R3 + 1/R4

= 1/45 + 1/55 = 0.0404 Hence RT2 = 1/0.0404 = 24.75 kΩ

This means that the 9.775 kΩ and the 24.75 kΩ are in series hence total resistance of the circuit = sum of all resistances in series

= 9.775 kΩ + 24.75 kΩ = 34.525 kΩ

However current, I is given by V/R = 45-V/34.525 kΩ = 1.303 × 10⁻³ A or 1.303 mA

From the current divider rule, I4 = I × (R4/(R3+R4)

That is the currrent flowing throuhgh R4 = 1.303 × (45/(45+55)) = 0.5865 mA

A truck is hauling a 300-kg log out of a ditch using a winch attached to the back of the truck. Knowing the winch applies a cons

Pie

Answer:

0.128 s

Explanation:

We have to start by calculating the net force acting on the log. We have two forces:

- The constant pulling force, forward, of F = 2500 N

- The frictional force, backward

The frictional force is given by

$F_f = \mu mg$

where

$\mu=0.45$ is the coefficient of friction

m = 300 kg is the mass of the log

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting,

$F_f = (0.45)(300)(9.8)=1323 N$

So the net force acting on the log is

$F=2500 - 1323=1177 N$

Now, we can find the acceleration of the log by using Newton's second law

$F=ma$

where a is the acceleration. Re-arranging for a,

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{1177}{300}=3.92 m/s^2$

And finally we can find the time it takes for the log to reach a speed of

v = 0.5 m/s

by using the suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where u = 0 is the initial speed and t the time. Solving for t,

$t=\frac{v}{a}=\frac{0.5}{3.92}=0.128 s$

How high does Pete lift his sledge hammer if he used a force of 25N to lift the hammer while doing 50J of work?

sasho [114]

Answer:He lifts 2 meters

Explanation:We are trying to find the distance. The formula for distance is W/Force. 50 is our amount of work. 25N is how much force was used. Divide the work bye the force. 50/25=2M
