Answer:

The value is v  =  2.8 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The depth of the mountain is  d =  0.8 \  m

Generally the  velocity of the surface  wave  is mathematically represented as

        v =   \sqrt{ g * d }      

=>      v =   \sqrt{ 9.8 * 0.8  }    

=>      v =   2.8 \  m/s

Generally using the Froude number is mathematically represented as

          Fr = \frac{ V }{ v }

Here V is the velocity of the current

 Given that  the waves do not travel upstream, then the flow of the current is  supercritical which means that

            \frac{ V }{ v } > 1

=>         V  > v

=>         V  > 2.8 \  m/s

Hence the minimum velocity of the current  is  

            v  =  2.8 \  m/s

This because the velocity of the  current is greater velocity of the surface  wave , so minimum will be like the lowest possible value of  V  which is v

All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outle
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage   ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

so

current by toaster is

I = \frac{1140}{120}

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = \frac{270}{120}

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = \frac{80}{120}

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

A copper telephone wire has essentially
Lunna [17]

Answer:

128.21 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial temperature (θ₁) = 4 °C

Final temperature (θ₂) = 43 °C

Change in length (ΔL) = 8.5 cm

Coefficient of linear expansion (α) = 17×10¯⁶ K¯¹)

Original length (L₁) =.?

The original length can be obtained as follow:

α = ΔL / L₁(θ₂ – θ₁)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(43 – 4)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / L₁(39)

17×10¯⁶ = 8.5 / 39L₁

Cross multiply

17×10¯⁶ × 39L₁ = 8.5

6.63×10¯⁴ L₁ = 8.5

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯⁴

L₁ = 8.5 / 6.63×10¯⁴

L₁ = 12820.51 cm

Finally, we shall convert 12820.51 cm to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

12820.51 cm = 12820.51 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

12820.51 cm = 128.21 m

Thus, the original length of the wire is 128.21 m

Imagine a system where a block rests on an inclined plane. The block is then given an initial push so that it starts sliding dow
Helen [10]

Answer:

statement - 'The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push' is correct.

Explanation:

The statement ''The work done by friction is equal to the sum of the work done by the gravity and the initial push" is correct.

The above statement is correct because, the initial push will tend to slide down the block thus the work done by the initial push will be in the downward direction. Also, the gravity always acts in the downward direction. thus, the work done done by the gravity will also be in the downward direction

here, the downward direction signifies the downward motion parallel to the inclined plane.

Now we know that the work done by the friction is against the direction of motion. Thus, the friction force will tend to move the block up parallel to the inclined plane.

Hence, for the block to stop sliding the the above statement should be true.
