Answer:

317.52 mi/hr

Explanation:

First convert Meters into miles as the answer is required in miles/ h

1000m = 0.62 mi

Now, convert second into hours

7.45s = 0.0001 hr

The speed of the boat would be

v = 0.62/0.0001

=317.52 mi/hr

A series circuit has a voltage supply of 12 V and a resistor of 2.4 kΩ. How much power is dissipated by the resistor?
adell [148]

Answer:

(B) 0.06W

Explanation:

power absorbed by the resistor is given by \frac{V^2}{R}=I^2R

Where V = voltage

           R= resistance

            I =  current through the circuit

we have given V =12 Volt and resistance =2.4 K\Omega

current I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{12}{2.4\times 1000}=5\times 10^{-3}A=5mA

power using voltage and resistance equation

p=\frac{12^2}{2.4\times 1000}=60mW =0.06W

using current equation P=I^2R=5^2\times 12=60mW= 0.06W

A small piece of solid matter traveling through space is called a __________. When it collides with the atmosphere it is called
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Meteoroid , meteor and meteorite

Explanation:

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body travelling through space.  Most are fragments from comets or asteroids

The visible streak of light from space debris is the result of heat as it enters a planet's atmosphere, and the trail of glowing particles that it sheds in its wake is called a meteor, or colloquially a "shooting star" or "falling star". A series of many meteors appearing seconds or minutes apart, and appearing to originate from the same fixed point in the sky, is called a meteor shower. Incoming objects larger than several meters (asteroids or comets) can explode in the air. If a meteoroid, comet or asteroid or a piece thereof withstands ablation from its atmospheric entry and impacts with the ground, then it is called a meteorite.

A 1000-kg car is slowly picking up speed as it goes around a horizontal curve whose radius is 100 m. The coefficient of static f
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

18.5 m/s

Explanation:

On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:

\mu mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

\mu is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road

m is the mass of the car

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the car

r is the radius of the curve

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\sqrt{\mu gr}

And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:

v=\sqrt{(0.350)(9.8 m/s^2)(100 m)}=18.5 m/s

Two objects, C & D, have the same momentum. Object C has ½ the mass of object D. Find the value of the ratio of velocity C t
Savatey [412]
These are two questions and two answers.

Part 1. Fin the value of the ration of velocity C to velocity D.


Answer: 2

Explanation:

1) Formula: momentum = mass * velocity

2) momentum C = mass C * velocity C

3) momentum D = mass D * velocity D.

4) C and D have the same momentum =>

mass C * velocity C = mass D * velocity D

5) mass C = (1/2) mass D => mass C / mass C = 1/2

6) use in the equation stated in the point 4)

velocit C / velocity D = mass D / mass C

using the equation stated in point 5:

mass D / mass C = 1 / [ mass C / mass D] = 1 / [1/2] = 2

=>

7) velocity C / velocity D = mass D / mass C = 2

Part 2: <span>ratio of kinetic energy C to kinetic energy D.
</span>
Answer: 2

Explanation:

1) formula: kinetic energy KE = (1/2) mass * (velocity)^2

2) KE C = (1/2) mass C * (velocity C)^2

3) KE D = (1/2) mass D * (velocity D)^2

4) KE C / KE D =

(1/2) mass C * (velocity C)^2        mass C        (velocity C)^2
--------------------------------------- = --------------- * ---------------------- = (1/2) * (2)^2
(1/2) mass D *( velocity D)^2        mass D        v(velocity D)^2

= 4 / 2 = 2

The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and the bottom of a b
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

h = 269.6 m

Explanation:

Pressure at the bottom of the building and at the top of the building must be related as

P_{top} = P_{bottom} - \rho g h

P_{top} = 730 mm Hg

P_{bottom} = 755 mm Hg

now we will have

(755 \times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81) = P_{bottom}

P_{bottom} = 1.007 \times 10^5 Pa

P_{top} = (730\times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81)

P_{top} = 0.974 \times 10^5

now we have

(1.007 - 0.974)\times 10^5 = 1.25 (9.81) h

h = 269.6 m
