Karolina [17]3 years ago

Explanation:

It took t_1 =1.5\:\text{s} for the sound to reach the 1st wall and at the same time time, the same sound took t_2 = 2.5\:\text{s} to reach the 2nd wall. Assuming that the sound travels at 343 m/s, then let x_1 be the distance of the person to the 1st wall and x_2 be the distance to the 2nd wall. So the distance between the walls X is

X = x_1 + x_2 = v_st_1 + v_st_2 = v_s(t_1 + t_2)

\:\:\:\:\:= (343\:\text{m/s})(4.0\:\text{s}) = 1372\:\text{m}

A child, hunting for his favorite wooden horse, is running on the ground around the edge of a stationary merry-go-round. The ang
olga55 [171]

Answer:

9.22 s

Explanation:

One-quarter of a turn away is 1/4 of 2π, or π/2 which is approximately 1.57 rad

Let t (seconds) be the time it takes for the child to catch up with the horse. We would have the following equation of motion for the child and the horse:

For the child: s_c = \omega_ct = 0.233t

For the horse: s_h = s_0 + a_ht^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0136t^2/2 = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2

For the child to catch up with the horse, they must cover the same angular distance within the same time t:

s_c = s_h

0.233t = 1.57 + 0.0068t^2

0.0068t^2 - 0.233t + 1.57 = 0

t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

t= \frac{0.233\pm \sqrt{(-0.233)^2 - 4*(0.0068)*(1.57)}}{2*(0.0068)}

t= \frac{0.233\pm0.11}{0.0136}

t = 25.05 or t = 9.22

Since we are looking for the shortest time we will pick t = 9.22 s

On a day when the temperature reaches 50°F, the temperature in degrees Celsius is: 20°C
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

10°C

Explanation:

To convert °F to °C, we use the formula:

°C =  (°F - 32) * ( 5/9)

So, to convert 50°F to the equivalent  in °C, we can proceed as follows:  

°C = ( 50 - 32 ) * (5/9)  

°C = ( 18 ) *  (5/9), which is, approximately,

°C = 9.999999999... ≈ 10 (5/9 ≈0.555555...)

So, 50°F is equivalent to 10°C.

"How do changes in voltage or resistance affect current in an electric circuit?"
kicyunya [14]
We can answer the question by looking at the Ohm's law, which gives us the relationship between voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R) of a circuit:
V=IR
equivalently, we can rewrite it as
I= \frac{V}{R}

by looking at the equation, we can make the following observations:
1) The current is proportional to the voltage: therefore, if the voltage increases, the current increases as well; if the voltage decreases, the current decreases too.
2) The current is inversely proportional to the resistance: if the resistance increases, the current decreases, and if the resistance decreases, the current increases.
