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.

What is the direction of friction if a ball is rolling on the ground?
morpeh [17]
The direction is the same as the direction the ball is moving in. Because of the rolling of the ball, the direction of movement of the surface of the ball is opposite the overall direction of the ball. Since friction will oppose the direction of movement of the surface of the ball, it is in the same direction as the net direction of movement of the ball.

A 75-kg piano is hoisted on a crane and delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment (20 meters above ground). What
ipn [44]

Answer:

P = 14700 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a piano, m = 75 kg

It is delivered throughout the window of a 6th story apartment which is 20 m above the ground.

We need to find the potential energy of the piano. It is given by :

P = mgh

Putting all the values,

P = 75 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

P = 14700 J

So, the potential energy of the piano is 14700 J.

Elza [17]

Answer: The correct option is B (The Young's modulus of women's ACLS is typically smaller than that of men's, resulting in more stress for the same amount of strain)

Explanation:

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the important ligaments found at the knee joint which helps to stabilise the joint. It connects the femur to the tibia bone at the knee joint.

Anterior cruciate ligament tear is one of the common knee joint injury which is seen in individuals( especially females) involved in sports( example soccer and basketball which involves sudden change in direction causing the knee to rotate inwards)

ACL tear occurs through both contact and non contact mechanisms. The contact mechanism of ACL injury occurs when force is directly applied at the lateral part of the knee while in non contact mechanism,tear occurs when the tibia is externally rotated on the planted foot.

Research has proven that women are prone to have ACL tear than men when competing in similar sports. This disparity exists due to structural differences that pose as risk factors. These includes

- the female ACL size is smaller than the male.

- the ACL of female has a lower modulus if elasticity( that is, less stiff) than in males leading to greater joint mobility than in the male.. therefore the option, (The Young's modulus of women's ACLS is typically smaller than that of men's, resulting in more stress for the same amount of strain) is correct.
