Answer:

If you count the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder, and then divide by 5, you'll get the distance in miles to the lightning: 5 seconds = 1 mile, 15 seconds = 3 miles, 0 seconds = very close. Keep in mind that you should be in a safe place while counting.

A gaseous system undergoes a change in temperature and volume. What is the entropy change for a particle in this system if the f
jonny [76]

Answer:

<em>Entropy Change = 0.559 Times</em>

Explanation:

Entropy change is determined by the change in the micro-states of a system. As we know that the micro-states are the same as measure of disorderness between initial and final states, that's the the amount of change in micro-states determine how much of entropy has changed in the system.

A toy gun uses a spring to project a 4.5-g soft rubber sphere horizontally. The spring constant is 8.0 N/m, the barrel of the gu
marishachu [46]

Answer:

1.93 m/s

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass = 4.5g = 0.0045kg

Spring constant = 8.0 N/m

Length of barrel = 13 cm = 0.013m

Frictional force = 0.035N

Compression = 5.8 cm = 0.058m

First, we find the P. E. stored in the spring:

P. E. = ½*k*x²

P. E. = ½ * 8 * 0.058² = 0.013J

Then, we find the work done by the frictional force while the sphere is leaving the barrel of the gun:

Work = Force * distance

The distance here is the length of the barrel.

Work = 0.035 * 0.13 = 0.0046 J

The kinetic energy of the sphere can now be found:

K. E. = P. E. - Work done

K. E. = 0.013 - 0.0046 = 0.0084J

We can now find the speed using the formula for K. E.:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

0.0084 = ½ * 0.0045 * v²

v² = 0.0084/0.00255 = 3.733

=> v = 1.93 m/s

Apilot of mass 70 kg rides a fighter jet The fighter jet moves in a vertical circle of radius 100 m at a constant
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

the  force exerted by the seat on the pilot is 10766.7 N

Explanation:

The computation of the force exerted by the seat on the pilot is as follows:

F = Mg + \frac{MV^2}{R}\\\\= 70 \times 9.81  + \frac{70 \times 120^2}{100}\\\\= 10766.7 N

Hence, the  force exerted by the seat on the pilot is 10766.7 N

A watermelon is dropped from the top of a 80m tall building. We want to find the velocity of the watermelon after it falls for 1
White raven [17]

Answer:

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 13.23 m/s

Explanation:

Height Of the watermelon when it is dropped is given as

h = 80 m

time of fall under gravity

t = 1.35 s

now if water melon start from rest then we have

v_i = 0

acceleration due to gravity for watermelon

a = 9.81 m/s^2

now we need to find the final speed of watermelon

v_f = v_i + at

so we will have

v_f = 0 + (9.81)(1.35)

v_f = 13.23 m/s

A gardener uses a 60-N wheelbarrow to transport two bags of fertilizer weighing W = 252-N. Determine the maximum allowable horiz
Butoxors [25]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the maximum allowable horizontal distance be represented by "d".  

Therefore, torque equation about A will be as follows.

   60 \times 0.15 + 252 \times 0.15 \times 2 + 252 \times d = 2 \times 75 \times (0.7 + 0.15 + 0.15)

      d = \frac{[2 \times 75 \times (0.7+0.15+0.15) - 60 \times 0.15 - 252 \times 0.15 \times 2]}{252}

       d = 0.409 m

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum allowable horizontal distance from the axle A of the wheelbarrow to the center of gravity of the second bag if she can hold only 75 N with each arm is 0.409 m.
