What is the displacement of the student from the bus stop to the mailbox?

Per person, the energy consumption in the United States is about 3.3 × 10^8 Btu/yr. This is equivalent to a power of:________. A

zhuklara [117]

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 120-kg object and a 420-kg object are separated by 3.00 m At what position (other than an infinitely remote one) can the 51.0-

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

1.045 m from 120 kg

Explanation:

m1 = 120 kg

m2 = 420 kg

m = 51 kg

d = 3 m

Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.

By use of the gravitational force

Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.

$\frac{Gm_{1}m}{y^{2}}=\frac{Gm_{2}m}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}$

$\frac{m_{1}}{y^{2}}=\frac{m_{2}}{\left ( d-y \right )^{2}}$

$\frac{3-y}{y}=\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}$

3 - y = 1.87 y

3 = 2.87 y

y = 1.045 m

Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.

A sinusoidal wave traveling on a string has a period of 0.20 s, a wavelength of 32 cm, and an amplitude of 3 cm. The speed of th

Finger [1]

Answer:

$v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}$

Explanation:

If we have a periodic wave we need to satisfy the following basic relationship:

$v = \lambda f$

From the last formula we see that the velocity is proportional fo the frequency.

For this case we have the following info given by the problem:

$T= 0.2 s, \lambda =32 cm* \frac{1m}{100cm} =0.32 m, A= 3cm*\frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.03 m$

We know that the frequency is the reciprocal of the period so we have this formula:

$f = \frac{1}{T}$

And if we replace we got:

$f =\frac{1}{0.2 s}= 5Hz$

Now since we have the value for the wavelength we can find the velocity like this:

$v = 0.32 m * 5Hz = 1.6 \frac{m}{s}$

And if we convert this into cm/s we got:

$v = 1.6 \frac{m}{s} *\frac{100cm}{1m}= 160 \frac{cm}{s}$
