Answer:

t=2413s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity v=1.5m/s

Time t=30min=>30*60=>1800

Distance d=24.3km

Generally the Newton's equation for Speed going down the stream is mathematically given by

 v + u = \frac{d}{t}

 1.5+v=frac{24300}{1800}

 v=12m/s

Therefore

 v + u = \frac{d}{t}

 t=\frac{24300}{12-1.5}

 t=2413s

A volumen constante un gas ejerce una presión de 880 mmHg a 20o Celsius dentro de una olla a presión ¿Qué temperatura habrá si e
jasenka [17]

Answer: Hence, the final temperature is 350 K

Explanation :

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=880mmHg\\T_1=20^0C=(20+273)K=293K\\P_2=1050mmHg\\T_2=?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{880mmHg}{293K}=\frac{1050mmHg}{T_2}\\\\T_2=350K

Hence, the final temperature is 350 K

A machine is rolling a metal cylinder under pressure. The radius of the cylinder is decreasing at a constant rate of 0.05 inches
Luden [163]
Yes, the volume of the cylinder will remain constant. As the radius decreases, the height will increase to make sure that the volume is kept the same.
We have been given a value of dr/dt and are required to find dh/dt
Because the volume is constant, we can plug it into the formula for the volume of the cylinder and rearrange it to make h the subject:
128 = πr²h
h = 128/πr²
Now we differentiate both sides:
dh/dr = -256/πr³
Applying the chain rule:
dh/dt = dh/dr x dr/dt
dh/dt = (-256/πr³) x -0.05
dh/dt = 64/5πr³; substituting the value of r
dh/dt = 64/5π(1.5)³
dh/dt = 1.21 in/sec

irga5000 [103]
1. What is the major function of the pons? 
         -Other than serving as a conduction pathway, the pons also contains a nucleus that is essential for breathing.
2.  Why is the medulla the most vital part of the brain?       
         -Medulla is very important because it function for the involuntary movement and processes that happen in the body without giving a thought about it. It performs crucial tasks like regulating the blood pressure.

A car drives 215 km east and then 45 km north. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? Round your answer to the nearest
34kurt

Displacement = (straight-line distance between the start point and end point) .

Since the road east is perpendicular to the road north,
the car drove two legs of a right triangle, and the magnitude
of its final displacement is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

    Length of the hypotenuse = √ (215² + 45²)

                                              =  √ (46,225 + 2,025)

                                              =   √ 48,250

                                              =       219.7 miles .
