Answer:

3 hours

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of Ben v_b = 3 mi/h

- The speed of Amanda v_a = 6 mi/h

- The total time taken to cover distance(d) by ben = t_b

Find:

How long will it be before Amanda catches up to Ben?

Solution:

- The distance d traveled by Ben:

                                 d = v_b*t_b

                                 d = 3*t_b

- The distance d traveled by Amanda:

                                 d = v_a*t_a

                                 d = 6*t_a

- Equate the distance as when they meet:

                                 3*t_b = 6*t_a

- Where ,

                                  t_b = t_a + 1.5

                                  t_a = t_b - 1.5

- Substitute the time relationship in distance relationship:

                                  3*t_b = 6*(t_b - 1.5)

                                  3*t_b = 6*1.5

                                      t_b = 2*1.5 = 3 h

- Hence, It would take 3 hours since Ben starts walking that amanda catches up.

If a 10 meter ramp helps you move a 500 kg object up 1 meter. What was the mechanical advantage of the ramp?
sattari [20]
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is

(Length of the incline) / (its height)

= (10m) / (1m)

= 10 .

It's the same for any load, and doesn't depend on the mass that you're trying to move up or down the ramp.

Two parallel co-axial disks are floating in deep space (far from sun and planets). Each disk is 1 meter in diameter and the disk
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

T₂ = 5646 K

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the power received by the first disc, for this we use Stefan's law

          P = σ. A e T⁴

Where next is the Stefam-Bolztmann constant with value 5,670 10-8 W / m² K⁴, A is the area of ​​the disk, T the absolute temperature and e the emissivity that for a black body is  1

The intensity is defined as the amount of radiation that arrives per unit area. For this we assume that the radiation expands uniformly in all directions, the intensity is

           I = P / A

Writing this expression for both discs

          I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

          I₂ = I₁ A₁ / A₂

The area of ​​a sphere is

          A = 4π r²

           I₂ = I₁ (r₁ / r₂)²

          r₂ = r₁ ± 5

          I₁ = I₂ ( (r₁ ± 5)/r₁)²

.

        Let's write the Stefan equation

         P / A = σ e T⁴

          I = σ e T⁴

This is the intensity that affects the disk, substitute in the intensity equation

         σ e₁ T₁⁴ = σ e₂ T₂⁴ (r₂ / r₁)²

The first disc indicates that it is a black body whereby e₁ = 1, the second disc, as it is painted white, the emissivity is less than 1, the emissivity values ​​of the white paint change between 0.90 and 0.95, for this calculation let's use 0.90 matt white

        e₁ T₁⁴ = T₂⁴   (r1 + 5)²/r₁²

       T₁ = T₂  {(e₂/e₁)}^{1/4}  √(1 ± 1/ r₁)  

If we assume that r₁ is large, which is possible since the disks are in deep space, we can expand the last term

           (1 ±x) n = 1 ± n x

Where x = 5 / r₁ << 1

We replace

          T₁ = T₂ {(e₂/e₁)}^{1/4}  (1 ± ½   5/r1)

           T₁ = T₂ {(e₂)}^{1/4}   (1 ± 5/2 1/r1)

If the discs are far from the star, they indicate that they are in deep space, the distance r₁ from being grade by which we can approximate; this is a very strong approach

              T₁ = T₂  {(e₂)}^{1/4} ¼

              T<u>₁</u> = T₂  0.90.9^{1/4}

               5500 = T₂  0.974

               T₂ = 5646 K

How do air mass conditions ahead of the squall line support the development of new cell?
IRISSAK [1]
<span>Storm cells in a squall line typically move from the southwest to the northeast, and as the mature cells in the northeast begin to die off, new ones are formed at the opposite end to advance the line. The air in the southwest corner has strong vertical updrafts that allow new cells to grow and develop into thunderstorms.</span>
