Answer:

Explanation:

Particles of a solid are closely packed, and when a solid is hit to produce a sound the kinetic energy present in the solid will cause the particles to vibrate vigorously in the intermolecular spaces in the solid, whereas the paticles of liquids and gases are rather further apart therefore having large intermolecular spaces between particles.

Two coils of wire are placed close together. Initially, a current of 3.04 A exists in one of the coils, but there is no current

Alchen [17]

Answer:

$M=0.0247H$

Explanation:

Given data

$V_{voltage}=4.29V\\I_{current}=3.04A\\t_{time}=1.75*10^{-2}s$

To find

Mutual inductance of the two-coil system

Solution

The mutual inductance given as:

M= (-VΔt)/ΔI

Substitute the given values

$M=-\frac{4.29V*1.75*10^{-2}s}{(0-3.04A)}\\ M=0.0247H$

The design speed of a multilane highway is 60 mi/hr. What is the minimum stopping sight distance that should be provided on the

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Part a: When the road is level, the minimum stopping sight distance is 563.36 ft.

Part b: When the road has a maximum grade of 4%, the minimum stopping sight distance is 528.19 ft.

Explanation:

Part a

When Road is Level

The stopping sight distance is given as

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}$

Here

SSD is the stopping sight distance which is to be calculated.
u is the speed which is given as 60 mi/hr
t is the perception-reaction time given as 2.5 sec.
a/g is the ratio of deceleration of the body w.r.t gravitational acceleration, it is estimated as 0.35.
G is the grade of the road, which is this case is 0 as the road is level

Substituting values

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35-0)}\\SSD=220.5 +342.86 ft\\SSD=563.36 ft$

So the minimum stopping sight distance is 563.36 ft.

Part b

When Road has a maximum grade of 4%

The stopping sight distance is given as

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}$

Here

SSD is the stopping sight distance which is to be calculated.
u is the speed which is given as 60 mi/hr
t is the perception-reaction time given as 2.5 sec.
a/g is the ratio of deceleration of the body w.r.t gravitational acceleration, it is estimated as 0.35.
G is the grade of the road, which is given as 4% now this can be either downgrade or upgrade

For upgrade of 4%, Substituting values

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35+0.04)}\\SSD=220.5 +307.69 ft\\SSD=528.19 ft$

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% upgrade is 528.19 ft.</em>

For downgrade of 4%, Substituting values

$SSD=1.47 ut +\frac{u^2}{30 (\frac{a}{g} \pm G)}\\SSD=1.47 \times 60 \times 2.5 +\frac{60^2}{30 \times (0.35-0.04)}\\SSD=220.5 +387.09 ft\\SSD=607.59ft$

<em>So the minimum stopping sight distance for a road with 4% downgrade is 607.59 ft.</em>

As the minimum distance is required for the 4% grade road, so the solution is 528.19 ft.

A clarinetist, setting out for a performance, grabs his 3.010 kg clarinet case (including the clarinet) from the top of the pian

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

-0.481 m/s^2

Explanation:

The force equation of this problem is given as:

F - W = ma

where F = upward force holding the clarinet bag

W = downward force (weight of the clarinet)

The mass of the clarinet bag is 3.010 kg, therefore, its weight is:

W = mg

W = 3.010 * 9.8 = 29.498

F = 28.05 N

Therefore:

28.05 - 29.498 = 3.010 * a

-1.448 = 3.010a

=> a = -1.448 / 3.010

a = -0.481 m/s^2

The acceleration of the bag is downward.

When you turn down the volume on the television, you reduce the _______ carried by the sound waves, so you also reduce their ___

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

when you turn down the volume on the television, you reduce the intensity carried by the sound waves, so you also reduce their amplitude.

Explanation:

When you turn down the volume of the television, you are actually reducing the intensity of the sound wave, which is directly proportional to the amplitude of the sound. Amplitude is height of the sound wave.

Therefore, when you turn down the volume on the television, you reduce the intensity carried by the sound waves, so you also reduce their amplitude.
