Answer:

1260ft

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed  = 105ft/s

Time  = 12s

Unknown:

Skidding distance of the truck  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem:

       Distance  = speed x time

Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Distance  = 105 x 12  = 1260ft

a piece of metal with a mass of 15.3 grams has a temperature of 50.0°C. When the metal is placed in 80.2 grams of water at 21.0°
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.21

Explanation:

Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.

Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁

Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body

Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂

Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))

Equating both:

        15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3

⇒   c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21

A steel cable has a cross-sectional area 2.54 10-3 m2 and is kept under a tension of 1.01 104 N. The density of steel is 7860 kg
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The speed is equals to 22.49 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data:

Area = A=2.54*10^-^3m^2\\Force = F = 1.01*10^4N\\density = p = 7860 kg/m^3

Required:

Speed of Traverse wave = c =?

Solution:

As we know that

p=m/V\\\\ p=m/(L*A)\\p*A=m/L

Now the equation for speed of traverse wave is calculated through:

\sqrt \frac{F*L}{m}\\

=\sqrt\frac{F}{m/L} \\\sqrt{} \frac{F}{p*A}

Substituting the values

\sqrt\frac{1.01*10^4}{7860*2.54*10^-^3}  \\

=22.49 m/s

a student measures the speed of yellow light in water to be 2.00 x 10(to the 8th power) meters per second, 1.87 x 10(to the 8th
mamaluj [8]
<span>3) Neither precise or accurate. This is because of the deviation between the measurements, they vary and are not within a good range. And they are not close to the accepted value. In order to be precise the measurements have to be relatively close to each other, and to be accurate they have to be close to the accepted value.</span>
