▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

There are two forces which are being balanced :

(Ⅰ) The force of gravity which is pushing the ping-pong ball downwards.

(Ⅱ) The force of the air that's coming from hairdryer which is pushing ping-pong ball upwards.

You are an engineer in charge of designing a new generation of elevators for a prospective upgrade to the Empire State Building.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

   t_total = 23.757 s

Explanation:

This is a kinematics exercise.

Let's start by calculating the distance and has to reach the limit speed of

v = 18.8 m / s

         v = v₀ + a t₁

the elevator starts with zero speed

         v = a t₁

         t₁ = v / a

         t₁ = 18.8 / 2.40

         t₁ = 7.833 s

in this time he runs

         y₁ = v₀ t₁ + ½ a t₁²

         y₁ = ½ a t₁²

         y₁ = ½ 2.40 7.833²

         y₁ = 73.627 m

This is the time and distance traveled until reaching the maximum speed, which will be constant throughout the rest of the trip.

           x_total = x₁ + x₂

           x₂ = x_total - x₁

           x₂ = 373 - 73,627

           x₂ = 299.373 m

this distance travels at constant speed,

           v = x₂ / t₂

           t₂ = x₂ / v

           t₂ = 299.373 / 18.8

           t₂ = 15.92 s

therefore the total travel time is

           t_total = t₁ + t₂

           t_total = 7.833 + 15.92

           t_total = 23.757 s

Which of these has the least chemical energy?
madreJ [45]

The answer is option D a gallon of gasoline.

Explanation:

A gallon of gasoline has the least chemical energy. The energy content of gallon of gasoline is about 132,000 Btu. The gasoline produced is equivalent in energy terms to 4 kilowatt hours.

Gasoline has chemical potential energy stored in chemical bonds. Gasoline is called as gas or petrol, mixture of volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbons are used as fuel for internal- combustion engines. It is used as solvent for oils and fats.

Gasoline gallon equivalent is the alternative fuel taken to equal the energy content of one liquid gallon of gasoline.

We are given the description of an enclosure that has fencing on 3 sides and can use 3,056 yards of fencing. We are to find the
shusha [124]

Answer:

The sum of the lengths of the sides is 2292 yards and the sum of the lengths of the triangle is 3056 yards

Explanation:

Since y represents the length of fence that is opposite (parallel) to the river and x represent the length of fence perpendicular to the river.

Therefore since we can use 3,056 yards of fencing

Side perpendicular to the river = x and,

Side opposite to the river = y = 3056 - 2x

The area of the rectangle formed (A) = Perpendicular side × Parallel side

∴ A = x(3056 - 2x) = 3056x - 2x²

A = 3056x - 2x²

To maximize the area, A' (dA/dx) = 0

∴ A' = 3056 - 4x = 0

3056 - 4x = 0

4x = 3056

x = 764 yards

y =  3056 - 2x = 3056 - 2(764) = 1528 yards.

Side perpendicular to the river = 764 yards and,

Side opposite to the river = 1528 yards

The sum of the lengths of the sides = 764 + 1528 = 2292 yard and the sum of the lengths of the triangle = 764 + 764 + 1528 = 3056 yards

Two objects are dropped from rest from the same height. Object A falls through a distance Da and during a time t, and object B f
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Da=(1/4)Db

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

When s = Da, t = t

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{2}at^2

When s = Db, t = 2t

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow Da=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times (2t)^2\\\Rightarrow Db=\frac{1}{2}a4t^2

Dividing the two equations

\frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at^2}{\frac{1}{2}a4t^2}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{Da}{Db}=\frac{1}{4}\\\Rightarrow Da=\frac{1}{4}Db

Hence, Da=(1/4)Db

A 7.55 × 1014 hz electromagnetic wave travels in carbon tetrachloride with a speed of 2.05 ×108 m/s. what is the wavelength of t
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

2.72×10^-7

Explanation:

velocity = frequency × wavelength

2.05×10^8=7.55×10^14 wavelength

wavelength = 2.05×10^8/7.55×10^14

wavelength = 2.72×10^-7
