When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide  6 by 5  or  5 by 6 ?

Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.

The question wants to know the 'period'.  That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.

If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get  'cycles/second'.
That's Hz.  It's frequency, not time.

If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.

            Period  =  (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)

                         =    (6 / 5)  seconds/cycle

                         =     1.2  seconds

What color does a red and blue jacket look through a green filter​ put over a red filter
pickupchik [31]

Answer: black

Explanation:

A colour filter is a filter that lets only one colour pass through it. For example, a red filter lets only red colour pass through it, while a green filter lets only green light pass through it.

In this example, we have a red and blue jacket. At first, we put a red filter: this filter lets pass throuhg only the red light. Then, we put a green filter: this filter lets pass only green light through it. However, there is no green light coming from the previous filter (since only red light passes through it), so the jacket appears black (no colours).

Water has a specific heat of 4.184
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Water!

Explanation:

Specific heat is described as the amount of energy required to raise one gram of a substance one degrees celcius. Therefore, the higher the number for specific heat the more energy that is required to raise the temperature of that object. Since 4.184 is greater than 1.760, more energy is required to heat water 1 degree celcius than wood!

A man enters a tall tower, needing to know its height. He notes that a long pendulum extends from the ceiling almost to the floo
wariber [46]

Answer: 187.68 m

Explanation:

Given

Time period T=27.5\ s

The time period of a pendulum is given by

\Rightarrow T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{g}}

where L=height of tower

Put values

\Rightarrow 27.5=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{L}{9.8}}\\\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{27.5^2\times 9.8}{(2\pi )^2}=187.68\ m

a piece of hot copper of mass 2.0kg is quenched by dropping it into 5.0kg of water. the temperature of water changes from 30 deg
SashulF [63]

A 2.0 kilogramme chunk of heated copper is cooled by being lowered into 5.0 kg of water. Water goes from 30 degrees Celsius to 52 degrees Celsius in only a few hours. determine the copper's temperature before submerging it in water. ​​In this case, the water's temperature is 24 degrees, and when we plug this number into equation 2 for water, we get the copper's temperature as 100 (0.387) (200-x) = 400 (4.187). ( x-20)

100 (0.387) (200-x) = 400 (4.187) ( 24-20)

: to give (something) over to the power or control of another : surrender The troops would not yield the fort to the enemy. 2 : to give in He yielded to temptation. 3 : to produce as a natural product These trees yield fruit.

Solving it yields x = 26.89 degrees, indicating that the temperature of ;copper is 26.89 degrees.
