Answer:

$3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

Explanation:

Btu of British thermal unit is a unit of heat. The relation between btu/year and watts is given by :

$1\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=3.343\times 10^{-5}\times 3.3\times 10^8\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11031.9\ W\\\\3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr=11\ kW$

So, $3.3\times 10^8\ btu/yr$ is equal to 11 kW. Hence, the correct option is (d).

A physics student standing on the edge of a cliff throws a stone vertically downward with an initial speed of 10 m/s. The instan

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The velocity just before hitting the ground is $v_f = 30 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed is $u = 10 m/s$

The final speed is $v = 30 \ m/s$

From the equations of motion we have that

$v^2 =u^2 + 2as$

Where s is the distance travelled which is the height of the cliff

So making it the subject of the the formula we have that

$s = \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{2a}$

Where a is the acceleration due to gravity with a value $a = 9.8m/s^2$

So

$s = \frac{30^2 - 10^2 }{2 * 9.8 }$

$s = 40.8 \ m$

Now we are told that was through horizontally with a speed of

$v_x =10 m/s$

Which implies that this would be its velocity horizontally through out the motion

Now it final velocity vertically can be mathematically evaluated as

$v_y = \sqrt{2as}$

Substituting values

$v_y = \sqrt{(2 * 9.8 * 40.8)}$

$v_y = 28.3 \ m/s$

The resultant final velocity is mathematically evaluated as

$v_f = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

Substituting values

$v_f = \sqrt{10^2 + 28.3^2}$

$v_f = 30 m/s$

A(n) 71.1 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 70.2 m away from the shuttle

denpristay [2]

Answer:

10.347 minutes.

Explanation:

According to F = ma, she exerts force on camera of the magnitude

F = 0.67Kg*12m/ $s^{2}$ = 8.04N, assuming it took her one second to accelerate camera to 12m/s, then by newtons third law, which says every action has equal and opposite reaction , the camera exerts the same amount of force on the astronaut which gives her acceleration of a = $\frac{8.04N}{70.2Kg} = 0.1130801680m/s^2$ .

and velocity of V = 0.1130801680m/s.

at this velocity , the astronaut has to cover the distance of 70.2 meters, it will take her 620.7985075s = 10.347 min to get to the shuttle (using S = vt).

A 1200-kg car is travelling east at a rate of 9 m/s. A 1600-kg truck is travelling south at a rate of 13 m/s. The truck accident

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Around 3.57m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

Let's denote the momentum, mass, and velocity of the car with the subscript 1, and for the truck use 2. After the collision, the combined momentum can be denoted with the subscript 3.

$p_1=1200\cdot 9=10800 \\\\p_2=1600\cdot 13=20800 \\\\20800-10800=10000 \\\\1200kg+1600kg=2800kg \\\\10000=2800v_3 \\\\v_3\approx 3.57m/s$

Hope this helps!

A golf ball with an initial angle of 34° lands exactly 240 m down the range on a level course.

g100num [7]

Answer:50.39 m/s,

40.46 m

Explanation:

Given

launch angle $=34^{\circ}$

Range=240 m

We know that Range $=\frac{u^2sin2\theta }{g}$

$240=\frac{u^2sin(68)}{9.81}$

u=50.39 m/s

(b)maximum height of projectile is given by

$H=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta }{2g}$

$H=\frac{50.39^2(sin34)^2}{2\times 9.81}$

H=40.46 m
