3. A car has a mass of 2.50 x 10^3 kg. If the force acting on the car is 7.65 x 10^3 N to the

const2013 [10]

Answer:

3.06m/s² to the east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg

Force acting on the car = 7.65 x 10³N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration = $\frac{Force }{mass}$ = $\frac{7.65 x 10^{3} }{2.5 x 10^{3} }$ = 3.06m/s² to the east

A certain kind of glass has an index of refraction of 1.640 for blue light of wavelength 440 nm and an index of 1.595 for red li

seraphim [82]

Answer: 18.27°

Explanation:

Given

Index of refraction of blue light, n(b) = 1.64

Wavelength of blue light, λ(b) = 440 nm

Index of refraction of red light, n(r) = 1.595

Wavelength of red light, λ(r) = 670 nm

Angle of incident, θ = 30°

Angle of refraction of red light is

θ(r) = sin^-1 [(n(a)* sin θ) / n(r)], where n(a) = index of refraction of air = 1

So that,

θ(r) = sin^-1 [(1 * sin 30) / 1.595]

θ(r) = sin^-1 (0.5 / 1.595)

θ(r) = sin^-1 0.3135

θ(r) = 18.27°

A residential subdivision encompasses 1100 acres with a housing density of four houses per acre. Assume that a high-value reside

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

(a). The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). The design-demand used to design the distribution system is 2444.44 gallon/min.

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 1100 acres

Number of house in 1 acres = 4

$\text{Number of house in 1100 acres} = 4\times1100$

$\text{Number of house in 1100 acres} = 4400$

Per house water demand = 800 g/day/house

(a). We need to calculate the average daily demand of this subdivision

Using formula for average daily demand

$\text{average daily demand}=house\times\text{Per house water demand}$

$\text{average daily demand}=4400\times800\ gallon/day$

$\text{average daily demand}=3520000\ gallon/day$

$\text{average daily demand}=\dfrac{3520000}{24\times60}\ gallon/min$

$\text{average daily demand}=2444.44\ gallon/min$

The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). We need to calculate the design-demand used to design the distribution system

Using formula for the design-demand

$\text{design demand}=(Q_{max})daily\times\text{fire flow}$

$\text{design demand}=1.64\times2444.4\times1000$

$\text{design demand}=4008816\ gallon/m$

Hence, (a). The average daily demand of this subdivision is 2444.44 gallon/min.

(b). The design-demand used to design the distribution system is 2444.44 gallon/min.
