during a typical afternoon thunderstorm in the summer, an area of 66.0 km2 receives 9.57 108 gal of rain in 18 min. how many inc

hes of rain fell during this 18 min period

Answer:

2.16 inch

Explanation:

area under water = 66 km²

= 66 x ( 3280.84 x 12 )² inch²

= 1.023 x 10¹¹ sq inch

volume of rain = 9.57 x 10⁸ gallon = 9.57 x 10⁸ x 231 inch³

= 2.21 x 10¹¹ inch³

If depth of rainfall be t

volume of rain = surface area x depth

= 1.023 x 10¹¹ x t

So ,

1.023 x 10¹¹ x t = 2.21 x 10¹¹

t = 2.16 inch

A car moves in a straight line at 22.0 m/s for 10.0miles, then at 30.0 m/s for another 10.0miles. Calculate the car’s average sp

maw [93]

Answer: 25.38 m/s

Explanation:

We have a straight line where the car travels a total distance $D$ , which is divided into two segments $d=10 miles$ :

$D=d+d=2d$ (1)

Where $d=10mi \frac{1609.34 m}{1 mi}=16093.4 m$

On the other hand, we know speed is defined as:

$S=\frac{d}{t}$ (2)

Where $t$ is the time, which can be isolated from (2):

$t=\frac{d}{S}$ (3)

Now, for the first segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=22m/s$ , using equation (3):

$t_{1}=\frac{d}{S_{1}}$ (4)

$t_{1}=\frac{16093.4 m}{22m/s}$ (5)

$t_{1}=731.518 s$ (6) This is the time it takes to travel the first segment

For the second segment $d=16093.4 m$ the car has a speed $S_{1}=30m/s$ , hence:

$t_{2}=\frac{d}{S_{2}}$ (7)

$t_{2}=\frac{16093.4 m}{30m/s}$ (8)

$t_{2}=536.44 s$ (9) This is the time it takes to travel the secons segment

Having these values we can calculate the car's average speed $S_{ave}$ :

$S_{ave}=\frac{d + d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}=\frac{2d}{t_{1} + t_{2}}$ (10)

$S_{ave}=\frac{2(16093.4 m)}{731.518 s +536.44 s}$ (11)

Finally:

$S_{ave}=25.38 m/s$

olasank [31]

Engineers have designed experimental cars that use liquid hydrogen for fuel instead of gasoline. this is an example of Substitution.

Substitution is the process where one thing replaces other for a particular purpose. here liquid hydrogen is replacing the gasoline for fuel in car. hence the correct word to fill is Substitution.

Please help me with my Physical Science! 50 POINTS

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

1, When Jane brakes, the brakes slow the car wheels turning and the road surface exerts a backwards force on the tires, causing the car to decelerate. The pocket book tends to continue on in a straight line (Newton's first law). If she brakes hard enough that the friction between the book and the car seat is insufficient to decelerate the book as fast as the car is decelerating, the book will slide off the seat, and gravity pulls it to the floor

A large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted the voltage to 385 kV. The secondary of

enot [183]

Answer:

a) In the new transformer there are 42 turns in the secondary per turn in the primary, while in the old transformer there were 32 turns per turn in the primary.

b) The new output is 86% of the old output

c) The losses in the new line are 74% the losses in the old line.

Explanation:

a) To relate the turns of primary and secondary to the ratio of voltage we have this expression:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}$

In the old transformer the ratio of voltages was:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{12}{385} =0.03117\\\\n_2=n_1/0.03117=32.1n_1$

In the new transformer the ratio of voltages is:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{12}{500} =0.024\\\\n_2=n_1/0.24=41.7n_1$

In the new transformer there are 42 turns in the secondary per turn in the primary, while in the old transformer there were 32 turns per turn in the primary.

b) The new current ratio is

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{12}{500}= 0.024\\\\I_2=0.024I_1$

If the old current output was 425 kV, the ratio of current was:

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{12}{425}= 0.028\\\\I_2=0.028I_1$

Then, the ratio of the new output over the old output is:

$\frac{I_{2new}}{I_{2old}} =\frac{0.024\cdot I_1}{0.028\cdot I_1}= 0.86$

The new output is 86% of the old output (smaller output currents lower the losses on the transmission line).

c) The power loss is expressed as:

$P_L=I^2\cdot R$

Then, the ratio of losses is (R is constant for both power losses):

$\frac{P_n}{P_o} =\frac{I_n^2R}{I_o^2R} =(\frac{I_n}{I_o} )^2=0.86^2=0.74$

The losses in the new line are 74% the losses in the old line.

At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire?

attashe74 [19]

A 5.00 A current runs through a 12 gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5*10^28 free electrons per cubic metre.

a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each second?

b) What is the current density in the wire? (answer in A/m^2)

<span>c) At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (answer in m/s)

</span>a) 5.0 A = 5.0 C/s
. Number of electrons in 5.0C = 5.0 / 1.60^-19 = 3.125^19
. 5.0 A ►= 3.125^19 electrons/s

b) A/m² = 5.0 / π(1.025^-3 m)² .. .. ►= 1.52^6 A/m²

c) Charge density (q/m³) = 8.50^28 e/m³ x 1.60^-19 = 1.36^10 C/m³

(q/m³)(m²)(m/s) = q/s (current i in C/s [A])
(m²) = Area
(m/s) = mean drift speed

(q/m³)(A)(v) = i

v = i.[(q/m³)A]ˉ¹

<span>v = 5.0 [1.36^10 * π(1.025^-3 m)²]ˉ¹.. .. ►v = 1.10^-4 m/s</span>
