Joe is trying to soup up his dragster. He knows that the time needed for the car to go from 0 to 100 miles per hour varies inver

sely with the car's horsepower. At 200 horsepower, the car can go from 0 to 100 mph in 12 seconds. How long should the car take if he can increase the horsepower to 240 hp?.

Translating the first sentence into equation we get, t = k(1/h) where t is time in seconds, k is the constant and h is the horsepower. Substituting the values in the equation we have, 12s = k(1/200) we have a k = 2400 seconds – hp. To get the time at 240 hp we use the equation above and the constant, we get, t = (2400 seconds-hp)(1/240hp) t = 10seconds.

The sound level at a distance of 2.30 m from a source is 115 dB. At what distance will the sound level have the following values
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

distance is 13 m for 100 dB

distance is 409 km for 10 dB

Explanation:

Given data

distance r = 2.30 m

source β = 115 dB

to find out

distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB

solution

first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance

we know sound level  β  = 10 log(I/I_{0})        ......................a

put here value (I/I_{0}) = 10^−12 W/m² and  β = 115

115  = 10 log(I/10^−12)

so

I = 0.316228 W/m²

and we know power = intensity × 4π r²    ...............b

power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²

power = 21.021604 W

we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²

so by solving r

r = 12.933855 m    = 13 m

distance is 13 m

and

at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²

by solving r we get

r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km

When passing from a low index of refraction medium to a high index of refraction medium which way does the refracted ray bend: t
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

toward the normal

Explanation:

Light travels at different speed in different mediums.

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

Light travels at a slower speed in water as compared to air because there are more number of interfering molecules in the path of the light in case of water as compared to liquid.  

When a light travels from lower denser medium say water to higher denser medium say water, it bends towards the perpendicular (normal) as its speed reduces in that medium.

True or false Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

its true that Scientific endeavor is driven by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.

Explanation:

When a scientist has a curiosity about something he carried out a research. and when their is a demand of something in society that time scientific research is carried out. Therefore its true that a scientific endeavor is driven by  simple curiosity or societal demand.

For example

in society, there is demand of a medicine which can completely kill the cancer  and a scientist has curiosity to know how to kill cancer cell. In this way a scientific endeavor for cancer medicine can be carried out by both simple curiosity as well as societal demands.

A ball is droped from a height of 16m how much time will pass before the ball hits the ground​
sergey [27]

Answer:

The time is 1.8s

Explanation:

The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.

Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

h= \frac{1}{2}g{t}^{2}

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.

From the question,

h=16m

Also, let take

g = 9.8m{s}^{-2}

By substitution we obtain,

16= \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{t}^{2}

\implies32=9.8{t}^{2}

Diving through by 9.8

\frac{32}{9.8}= \frac{ 9.8{t}^{2} }{9.8}

\implies{t}^{2} =3.265

square root both sides, we obtain

\implies t= \sqrt{3.265}

t=1.8s

A person drives 20 miles north and 45 miles east. What is the angle of the resultant straight to their destination?
Alex787 [66]
Let us take east and north as the positive x and y-axes should the motion be plotted in a cartesian plane. Thus, the x value is 45 miles and the y value is 20. The tangent of an angle is equal to the ratio of y to x.

   tanθ = y / x

Substituting,

   tanθ = 20/45 = 0.44

The value of θ is 23.96°.
