T = 12.4 h, x(t) = .250 d (displacement)
The total amplitude is half of the distance d from the highest to lowest level. 
Using the equation x(t) = x(m) cos(wt + φ), we get: 

.250d = .5d cos(wt + φ) 
To find w, use the equation w = 2π / T 

.250d = .5d cos((2π / 12.4)t + φ) 

.250d = .5d cos((2π / 12.4)t + 0) 

Solve the equation for t. 
.250d / .5d = cos ((2π / 12.4) t) 
arccos(.5) = 2π / 12.4 * t 
arccos(.5) * 12.4 / 2 / π = t 
t = 2.066666 hours

The area of the piston to the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking system of a car is 0.6 square inches. If a force of 5.6 lb
balu736 [363]

Answer:

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.

Explanation:

Force applied on the piston = F_1=5.6 lb

Area of the piston = A_1=0.6 inches^2

Force applied on the brakes = F_2

Area of the brakes = A_2=1.8 inches^2

Applying Pascal's law: 'For an incompressible fluid pressure at one surface is equal to the pressure at other surface'.

\frac{F_1}{A_2}=\frac{F_2}{A_2}

F_2=\frac{5.6 lb\times 1.8 inhes^2}{0.6 inches^2}=16.8 lb

16.8 lb is the force on the brake pad of one wheel.

Imagine you can take all the atoms in a single drop of water and put them on a single line as closely packed as they can be. How
tester [92]

Answer:

option a

Explanation:

Size of an atom (diameter) = 10⁻¹⁰ m

There are approximately 10²² atoms in a single drop of water. If they are put in  a straight line, the length would be

l = diameter of an atom × number of atoms

l = 10²²×  10⁻¹⁰ m = 10¹² m

Distance between the Sun and the Earth is 1.47 × 10¹¹ m. The calculated length is greater than the distance between the Sun and the Earth.

Thus, option a is correct.

Geothermal energy is derived from the sun. True or False?
pashok25 [27]
<span>So we want to know is it true or false that geothermal energy is derived from the Sun. Geothermal energy is heat energy that is stored in the Earth. Solar energy is energy that we get by collecting sunlight via solar collectors and turning it into electrical energy. So the answer is FALSE. </span>
