A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to

the victim with an initial velocity of 2.12 m/s and observes that it takes 1.5 s to reach the water.
(a) List the knowns in this problem.
(b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.

You are a nurse in a hospital. You are told to move a patient through three corridors each measuring 14.33 meters. Because of fr
dimulka [17.4K]

Work done by force is given by formula

W = F.d

now here work done against friction is given so force of friction here is

F_f = 848 N

It moved by three corridors with each measures

d = 14.33 m

so total distance will be

s = 14.33 \times 3 = 43 m

now from above formula of work done we will say

W = 848 \times 43

W = 36464 J

so above is the work done to move three corridors

Difference between sold and liquid​
Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Solids have closely packed particles and vibrate about a fixed position, they also have a fixed volume.

liquid have close particles but which are able to move with a bit of kinetic energy, for this reason they have no fixed volume but take the volume of the container or vessel

Veseljchak [2.6K]

We want a sound wave with a wavelength of 0.52 meters or a natural fraction thereof. We'll work in MKS.

w = 0.52/n

That's length.  We have speed 344 meters/second so w corresponds to a frequency of

f = 344 / w = n (344/.52)

f = 661.5 n  Hertz

I don't really agree with how they're saying it, but all the fundamental talk is probably trying to tell us n=1,

Answer: 661.5 Hertz

Any multiple of that will also produce constructive interference; we can go to about n=30 before we're out of the audio range.

How many seconds will elapse between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder if the lightning strikes 1mi (5280 ft) away and th
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

t = 4.58 s

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to find the time elapse between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder if the lightning strikes 1mi (5280 ft) away and the air temperature is 90.0°F.

T = 90.0°F = 32.2 °C

The speed of sound at temperature T is given by :

v = (331.3 +0.6T)

Put T = 32.2°C

So,

v = (331.3 +0.6(32.2))

= 350.62 m/s

We have, distance, d = 1 mile = 1609.34

So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=4.58\ s

So, the required time is equal to 4.58 seconds.
