At an oceanside nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water th

at is discharged back into the ocean. The amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10° to 25° C. Suppose that a temperature increase of more than 18° C is considered to be potentially dangerous to the environment. What is the probability that at any point in time, the temperature increase is potentially dangerous?

Io, a satellite of Jupiter, is the most volcanically active moon or planet in the solar system. It has volcanoes that send plume
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1331.84 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 490 km

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.81 m/s² = a

From equation of linear motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -1.81\times 490000}\\\Rightarrow u=1331.84\ m/s

The speed of the material must be 1331.84 m/s in order to reach the height of 490 km

How is a seismograph similar to an X-ray?
aleksklad [387]

Answer: Seismograph is an instrument that is used to measure the vibration of the earthquake. It is based on seismic waves. X ray is an electromagnetic energy wave that is used for CAT ( computerized axial tomography) scan.

Hence, both seismic wave and X ray are energy waves.

The velocity of seismic waves is different in different media. Similarly, X ray loses its amplitude depending upon the dense layer of the tissue.

A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s

22.5 mph = 22.5 * 1600/3600 = 10 m/s

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

Friction is the product of coefficient and normal force, which equals to the gravity

F_f = \mu N = \mu mg

The deceleration caused by friction is friction divided by mass according to Newton 2nd law.

a = F_f / m = \mu mg / m = \mu g = 0.6 *9.81 = 5.886 m/s^2

So the time required to decelerate from 33.3 m/s to 10 m/s so the wheels don't slide, with the rate of 5.886 m/s2 is

t = \frac{\Delta v}{a} = \frac{33.3 - 10}{5.886} = 3.964 s

"In analyzing distances by apply ing the physics of gravitational forces, an astronomer has obtained the expression
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The value of R is 1.72\times10^{11}\ m.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

In analyzing distances by apply ing the physics of gravitational forces, an astronomer has obtained the expression

R=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(\dfrac{1}{140\times10^{9}})^2-(\dfrac{1}{208\times10^{9}})^2}}

We need to calculate this for value of R

R=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(\dfrac{1}{140\times10^{9}})^2-(\dfrac{1}{208\times10^{9}})^2}}

R=1.89\times10^{11}\ m

So, The nearest option of the value of R is 1.72\times10^{11}\ m

Hence, The value of R is 1.72\times10^{11}\ m.

A bucket of water experiencing a gravitational force of 525 N is pulled from a water well. Net force in the Y direction is 45 N
vivado [14]

Answer:

T = 570 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The gravitational force acting on a bucket of water = 525 N

Net force in the Y direction is 45 N

We need to find the magnitude of the force of tension. It can be calculated as :

45 = T - 525

T = 525 + 45

T = 570 N

Hence, the force of tension is 570 N.
