Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite

ends of the same rope and pull the other toward him. The magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration. What is the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass?

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Which statement describes a digital signal?
hoa [83]

Answer:

"It is made of numbers" describes the digital signal.

Explanation:

The digital signal are the electrical signal which is translated into the pattern of bits. The digital signal are always discrete value in every sampling point. The conversion of the programming into the stream or the binary sequence like 0s and 1s. The digital signals never gets weaken over distance but the analog signal gets weakened or impair at distance. The digital signals are consists of one or two value, Timing graph are square waves.

What is the relationship between frequency ad wavelenght
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. The wave with the greatest frequency has the shortest wavelength. Twice the frequency means one-half the wavelength. For this reason, the wavelength ratio is the inverse of the frequency ratio.

A) An automobile light has a 1.0-A current when it is connected to a 12-V battery. Determine the resistance of the light.
kirill [66]

Answer:

The resistance in first case is 12 Ω, power delivered is 12 W, and potential difference is 0.01 V

Explanation:

Given:

(A)

Current I = 1 A

Voltage V = 12 V

For finding the resistance,

  V = IR

  R = \frac{V}{I}

  R = \frac{12}{1}

  R = 12Ω

(B)

For finding power delivered,

  P = I^{2} R

  P = (1) ^{2} \times 12

  P = 12 Watt

(C)

For finding the potential difference,

   V = IR

   V = 5 \times 10^{-3} \times 2

   V = 10 \times 10^{-3}

   V = 0.01 V

Therefore, the resistance in first case is 12 Ω, power delivered is 12 W, and potential difference is 0.01 V

A hot water heater is operated by using solar power. if the solar collector has an area of 5.3 m2 , and the power delivered by s
OLEGan [10]
Heat absorbed by the solar collector = Area*Irradiance = 5.3*995 = 5273.5 W

Heat Q in joules absorbed in t hours = Heat used to heat water. That is,

5273.5*t = mCΔT; where mass = volume*density = 1*1000 = 1000 kg

Therefore;
5273.5t = 1000*4186*(65-20) = 188370000
t = 188370000/5273.5 = 35720.11 seconds = 35720.11/(60*60) hours ≈ 9.92 hours.

It will take approximately 9.92 hours.
