The water tank for a block of flats is in the roof space above the tenth floor. The owner of a flat on the ground floor can only

open her tap a tiny amount before the water splashes wildly out of the sink. On the tenth floor, the flat owner has only a trickle of water even when his tap is completely open.
Explain these observations in terms of pressure

The Pony Express
Chapter 1
At A Nation's Crisis
The Pony Express was the first rapid transit and the first fost mail line across the continent from the Missouri River to the Pacific Coast. It was a system
by means of which messages were carried swiftly on horseback across the plains and deserts, and over the mountains of the far West It brought the
Adontic coost and the Pacific slope ten days nearer to each other.
It had a brief existence of only sixteen months and was supplanted by the transcontinental telegraph. Yet it was of the greatest importance in
binding the East and West together at a time when overland travel was slow and cumbersome, and when a great national crisis made the rapid
communication of news between these sections an imperative necessity.
The Pony Express marked the highest development in overland travel prior to the coming of the Pacific railroad, which it preceded nine years.
It, in fact, proved the feasibility of a transcontinental road and demonstrated that such a line could be built and operated continuously the year
around-a feat that had always been regarded as impossible.
The operation of the Pony Express was a supreme achievement of physical endurance on the part of man and his ever faithful companion, the
horse. The history of this organization should be a lasting monument to the physical sacrifice of man and beast in an effort to accomplish
something worthwhile. Its history should be an enduring tribute to American courage and American organizing genius.

3. Calculate the wavelength of wave that has a frequency of 4.75 x 1012Hz.
Klio2033 [76]
  • Frequency=v=4.75×10^12Hz
  • Wavelength=?

We know

\boxed{\sf \lambda=\dfrac{C}{V}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto \lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8ms^{-1}}{4.75\times 10^{12}s^{-1}}

\\ \sf\longmapsto \lambda=0.631\times 10^{-4}m

\\ \sf\longmapsto \lambda=6.31\times 10^{-5}m

A maple tree seed fell 180 centimeters straight toward the ground at a constant velocity. It moved that distance in 1.5seconds.
denis23 [38]

Answer: 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity V is defined as the variation of position of an object or body in time. So, if we know the distance the seed traveled and the time, we can calculate its velocity:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d=180 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=1.8 m is the distance the maple seed traveled

t=1.5 s is the time

Then:

V=\frac{1.8 m}{1.5 s}

V=1.2 m/s This is the seed's velocity

Write a hypothesis for Part II of the lab, which is about the relationship described by F = ma. In the lab, you will use a toy c
Tanzania [10]
If you increase the mass m of the car, the force F will increase, while acceleration a is kept constant. Because F and m are directly proportional.
If you increase the acceleration a of the car, the force F will increase, while mass m is kept constant. Because F and a are directly proportional.

How can Newton's laws be verified experimentally; is by setting this experiment, and changing one variable while keeping the other constant, then observe the change in F.

Hope this helps.

A 60-Hz single-phase transformer with capacity of 150 kVA has the following parameters: RP = 0.35 Ω RS = 0.002 Ω Rc = 5.2 kΩ XP
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total Resistance, Rt = (0.35 + 0.002 + 5200 + 0.5 + 0.008 + 1100) = 6300 ohms      

a) Capacity of transformer, Pt = 150KVA = 150,000 W

Input Voltage, Vp = 2.8 KV = 2800 V

Current, Ip = 150000/2800 = 53.57 A

Input impedance, Zp = Vp/Ip = 2800/5357 = 52.27 ohms

b) i)   Input current = 53.57 A

ii) Voltage, V = Ip * Rt = 53.57 X 6300 = 337.5 KV

iii) Power, P = I² * Rt = (53.57)² X 6300 = 18.08 MW

iv) Power factor = 0.83
