Which of the following power plants does not use thermal energy to produce electricity?

In a game of egg-toss, you and a partner are throwing an egg back and forth trying not to break it. Given your knowledge of mome

F=dP/dt. So you want the momentum to change as slowly as possible in time to minimize the force. So as you catch the egg, let your hand move backward with it for awhile, slowly bringing it to a stop. If you hold your hand steady when you catch it the force due to the impact could break it.

Explain the origin of the magnitude designation for determining the brightness of stars. Why does it seem to go backward, with s

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Hipparchus was an ancient Greek who classified stars based on the brightness in 129 B.C. He grouped the brightest stars and ranked them 1 (first magnitude) and dimmest stars as 6 (sixth magnitude). Thus, the smaller numbers indicated brighter stars. Now, the scale extends in negative axis as well. More the negative number, brighter is the star. For example, Sun has magnitude -26.74.

This the apparent magnitude which means the classification is based on the brightness of the star as it appears from the Earth.

The speed of a 2.0-kg object changes from 30 m/s to 40 m/s during a 5.0-second time interval.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

F = 2 * 30 / 5 = 12 N to stop forward motion

F = 2 * 40 / 5 = 16 N to accelerate to 90 degrees

(12^2 + 16^2)^1.2 = 20 N average force applied

A wave has a wavelength of 3.0 m, a frequency of 25.0 Hz, and an amplitude of 14.0 cm. The wave travels in the positive x-direct

Mrac [35]

Answer:

The total number of oscillations made by the wave during the time of travel is 1.4 Oscillations. Strictly speaking, the number of complete oscillations is 1.

Explanation:

The required quantity is the number of complete oscillations made by the traveling wave. The amplitude time and frequency are not needed to calculate the number of oscillations as it is the ratio of the distance traveled to the wavelength( minimum distance that must be traveled to complete one oscillation) of the wave. So the total number of oscillations is 1.4 while the number of complete oscillations is 1 (strictly speaking). The detailed solution to this question can be found in the attachment below. Thank you!

A note of frequency 200Hz has a velocity of 400m/s. what is the wavelength of the note

Xelga [282]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf \lambda = 2 m}$

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given data:</u></h3>

Frequency = f = 200 Hz

Velocity = v = 400 m/s

<h3><u>Required:</u></h3>

Wavelength = λ = ?

<h3><u>Formula:</u></h3>

v = fλ

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Put the givens in the formula

400 = (200)λ

Divide 200 to both sides

400/200 = λ

2 m = λ

λ = 2 m

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$
