A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of

the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot before it is ready to make another leap. How many leaps will the frog need to escape the well?

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

A 10-turn coil of wire having a diameter of 1.0 cm and a resistance of 0.50 Ω is in a 1.0 mT magnetic field, with the coil orien
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 10

Diameter = 1.0 cm

Resistance = 0.50 Ω

Capacitor = 1.0μ F

Magnetic field = 1.0 mT

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

\phi=NBA

Put the value into the formula

\phi=10\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(0.5\times10^{-2})^2

\phi=7.85\times10^{-7}\ Tm^2

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf

\epsilon=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Put the value into the formula

\epsilon=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}

Put the value of emf from ohm's law

\epsilon =IR

IR=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}

Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{R}

Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{0.50}

Idt=0.00000157=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C

We know that,

Idt=dq

dq=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C

We need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor

Using formula of charge

dq=C dV

dV=\dfrac{dq}{C}

Put the value into the formula

dV=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-6}}{1.0\times10^{-6}}

dV=1.57\ V

Hence, The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

You need a 450 microgram sample of gold, but you only have a mass balance that measures in decigrams. Convert the amount of gold
sveta [45]

The amount of gold in decigrams if 450 micrograms is needed is 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams.

<h3>How to convert micrograms to decigrams?</h3>

According to this question, 450 micrograms of a sample of gold is needed but we only have a mass balance that measures in decigrams.

This means that we are to convert the amount of gold you need to decigrams by comparing the exponents.

The conversion factor of micrograms to decigrams is as follows:

1 micrograms = 1 × 10-⁵ decigrams

This means 450 micrograms is equivalent to 450 × 1 × 10-⁵ = 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams

Therefore, the amount of gold in decigrams if 450 micrograms is needed is 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams.

Hurricanes are especially destructive because of the abrupt decrease in air pressure that they bring with the winds. Consider a
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2.96 × 10^4 N

Explanation:

1 atm = 101325 N/m², pressure inside the airtight room = 1.02 atm, pressure outside due to hurricane = 0.91 atm

net pressure directed outward = P inside - P  outside

net pressure = 1.02 - 0.91 = 0.11 atm

where 1 atm = 101325N/m²

0.11 atm = 0.11 × 101325 N/m² = 11145.75 N/m²

area of the square wall = l × l where l is the length of the wall in meters = 1.63 × 1.63 = 2.6569

net pressure = net force / area

make net force subject of the formula

net force = net pressure × area = 11145.75 × 2.6569 = 2.96 × 10 ^4 N

What type of energy is formed when an object encounters friction?​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

thermal energy

Friction does negative work and removes some of the energy the person expends and converts it to thermal energy. The net work equals the sum of the work done by each individual force. The forces acting on the package are gravity, the normal force, the force of friction, and the applied force.
