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.

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.

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?
tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

v_{x}^{2} = v_{ox}^{2} +2 a x (x - x₀)

v_{x} = velocity at position "x"

v_{ox} = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

x_{o} = initial position of the object at the start of the motion

A 0.500 H inductor is connected in series with a 93 Ω resistor and an ac source. The voltage across the inductor is V = −(11.0V)
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

205 V

V_{R} = 2.05 V

Explanation:

L = Inductance in Henries, (H)  = 0.500 H

resistor is of 93 Ω so R = 93 Ω

The voltage across the inductor is

V_{L} = - IwLsin(wt)

w = 500 rad/s

IwL = 11.0 V

Current:

I = 11.0 V / wL

 = 11.0 V / 500 rad/s (0.500 H)

 = 11.0 / 250

I = 0.044 A

Now

V_{R} = IR

    = (0.044 A) (93 Ω)

V_{R} = 4.092 V

Deriving formula for voltage across the resistor

The derivative of sin is cos

V_{R} = V_{R} cos (wt)

Putting V_{R} = 4.092 V and w = 500 rad/s

V_{R} = V_{R} cos (wt)

    = (4.092 V) (cos(500 rad/s )t)

So the voltage across the resistor at 2.09 x 10-3 s is which means

t = 2.09 x 10⁻³

V_{R} = (4.092 V) (cos (500 rads/s)(2.09 x 10⁻³s))

    =  (4.092 V) (cos (500 rads/s)(0.00209))

    = (4.092 V) (cos(1.045))

    = (4.092 V)(0.501902)

    = 2.053783

V_{R} = 2.05 V
