The local high school is installing new bleachers at the stadium and must also add handrails to meet code. The students know the

bleachers are 8 m tall, and they measure the depth of the bleachers at 7 m. How long must the handrails be to go along the bleachers from bottom to top? Use a component table to solve.

Answer:

The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m

The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m

The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;

The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)

∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63

In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.

The temperature at which the velocity of sound in air is twice its velocity at 15°C
Elena L [17]

With the use of below formula, at 879 °C,  velocity will be double the velocity at 15 °C.

<h3>What is the relationship between Velocity and sound ?</h3>

The velocity of sound waves in air is proportional to the square root of Thermodynamic temperature. That is, V = K\sqrt{T}

Given that the temperature at which the velocity of sound in air is twice its velocity at 15°C, Let us make use of the formula;

(v2/v1) = √(T2 / T1)

Where

  • v2 = final velocity
  • v1 = initial velocity
  • T2 = final absolute temperature
  • T1 = initial temperature.

Recall that absolute temperature = °C + 273.

If v2 = 2 × v1 and temperature in degree Celsius = 15°C, then,

Temperature in Kelvin K = 15 + 273 = 288

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

(2 × v1)/v1 = √(T2/288)

2 = √ (T2 /288)

Square both sides

4 = (T2/288)

T2 = 4 × 288

T2 = 1152K

Temperature in degrees Celsius = 1152 - 273 = 879 °C.

Therefore, at 879 °C,  velocity will be double the velocity at 15 °C.

At t = 0, one toy car is set rolling on a straight track with initial position 13.5 cm, initial velocity -4.2 cm/s, and constant
Blizzard [7]
(a) We must first look at the formulas of the velocities of each toy car. v1 =
-4.2 + 2.60t. v2 = 5.20. When the two cars have equal speed, then 
v1 = v2
-4.2 + 2.60t = 5.20
2.60t = 9.40
t = 3.62 s

(b) Their speed would then be 5.20 m/s. The toy car does not change speed since it doest not have any acceleration.
(c) The two cars will pass each other when their positions are equal.
x1 = 13.5 - 4.2t + 0.5*2.60t^2
x2 = 8.5 + 5.20t
x1 = x2
13.5 - 4.2t + 1.30t^2 = 8.5 + 5.20t
1.30t^2 - 9.40t + 5.0 = 0
t = 6.65s or t = 0.58 s

If two objects are in thermal equilibrium, do they have the same thermal or internal energy?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Yes, they do have the same internal energy.

Explanation:

The thermal balance refers to when there is no heat transfer between the bodies and their surroundings i.e. the bodies and the environment are at the same temperature.

Suppose two bodies of different masses and different materials, each one of them is at a temperature of 25(° C), which is the same temperature as the temperature of the environment, if these two bodies are close to each other, there is also heat transfer as they are at the same temperature, in the absence of any type of energy that enter or exit in these bodies, the amount of internal energy will be equal in both bodies.

Note: when the internal energy of one of these bodies is increased, heat transfer will happen, always looking for the thermal balance.
