So 10 gallons of gas would let you travel 300 Miles. 

x gallons = 50 Miles

10 : 300 :: x : 50 

x = 500/300

x = 1.66667 gallons. 

So, the car would run 10 - 1.6666 gallons = 8.33 gallons.

After that, the warning light turns ON! 

Hope this helps!!

Answer:

8.33 gallons

Explanation:

Given: A car's fuel economy is 30 mpg. a warning light is displayed if the remaining distance that can be driven before the car runs out of gas drops below 50 miles.

To Find: initially the car has 10 gallons of gas. how many gallons, g, can be used before the warning light comes on.

Solution:

Total fuel in car=10\text{g}

fuel economy of car =30\text{mpg}

fuel required to ride 30 mile =1\text{g}

fuel required to ride 1 mile =\frac{1}{30}\text{g}

Now,

Fuel required to ride 50 miles =50\times\frac{1}{30}\text{g}=\frac{5}{3}\text{g}

fuel left in car when warning light is displayed =\text{Fuel required to ride 50 miles left}

                                                                        =\frac{5}{3}\text{g}

Amount of fuel that can be consumed before warning light dislays

\text{Total fuel}-\text{fuel left when warning light displays}

            10-\frac{5}{3}

            \frac{25}{3}\text{g}        

            8.33\text{g}

8.33 gallons fuel can be used before warning light comes on

A sound wave moving with a speed of 1500 m/s is sent from a submarine to the ocean floor. It reflects off the
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the wave, v = 1500 m/s

time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s

The time taken to receive the echo is calculated as;

time \ of \ motion \ (t) = \frac{total \ distance }{speed \ of \ wave} = \frac{2d}{v}  \\\\2d = vt\\\\d = \frac{vt}{2} \\\\d = \frac{1500 \times 15}{2} \\\\d = 11,250 \ m

Therefore, the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

A power cycle operates between a lake’s surface water at a temperature of 300 K and water at a depth whose temperature is 285 K.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: a) 0.04kW = 40W

b) 0.05

Explanation:

A)

Thermal efficiency of the power cycle = Input / output

Input = 10 kW + 14,400 kJ/min = 10 kW + 14,400 kJ/(60s) = 10 kW + 14,400/60 kW.

Output = 10 kW

Thermal Efficiency = Output / Input = 10kW / 250kW = 0.04KW = 40W

B)

Maximum Thermal Efficiency of the power cycle = 1 - T1/T2

Where T1 = 285kelvin

And T2 = 300kelvin

Maximum Thermal Efficiency = 1 - T1/T2 = 1 - 285/300 = 0.05

An empty semi-truck sits on the scale of a weighing station. It is then loaded with 100 irritated pigeons. These two events then
mina [271]

Answer:

The reading in the scale is going to be the same, or if it experiences some change it would be minimum. The reason is because the truck will act as a big closed cage, therefore, when the pigeons fly, the air they move with their wings in order to keep flying,  exerts the same force on the closed cage, that if they were standing on the ground.

If the truck however, allows the air flow, the weight might change, because under this scenario, the air flowing could represent less force exerted on the balance.
