The speed of sound in air changes with the temperature. When the temperature T is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the speed S of sound is

1087.5 feet per second. For each degree increase in temperature, the speed of sound increases by 1.1 feet per second. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Explain why speed S is a linear function of temperature T. Because S always increases by 1.1 when T increases by 1 Correct: Your answer is correct. , S has a constant rate of change and is a linear function of T. Identify the slope of the function. 1.1 Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) Use a formula to express S as a linear function of T. S = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (c) Solve for T in the equation from part (b) to obtain a formula for temperature T as a linear function of speed S. T = (d) Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the function you found in part (c). The slope of T as a linear function of S is , and this means that an increase in the speed of sound by 1 foot per second corresponds to an increase of degree in temperature.

Answer and Explanation:

A. We have temperature t = 32

Speed of sound, s = 1087.5

As t increases by 1⁰f speed increases by 1.2

So that

S = 1088.6

T= 33⁰f

We have 2 equations

1087.5 = k(32) + c

1088.6 = k(33) + c

Subtracting both equations

(33-32)k = 1088.6-1087.5

K = 1.1

b.). S = kT + c

1087.5 = 32(1.1) + c

Such that

C = 1052.3

Therefore

S = 1.1(t) + 1052.3

C.). S = 1.1t + 1052.3

We make t subject of the formula

T = s/1.1 - 1052.3/1.1

T = 0.90(s) - 956.3

D. This means that We have temperature to rise by 0.90 whenever speed is increased

Seema knows the mass of basketball. What other information is needed to find the balls potential energy
Lelu [443]

Answer: The height (position) of the ball and the acceleration due gravity

Explanation:

In this case we are taking about gravitational potential energy, which is the energy a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  In this sense, this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.  

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the gravitational potential energy U will be:  

U=mgh  

Where:

m is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity (assuming the ball is on the Earth surface)

h is the height (position) of the ball respect to a given point

Note the value of the gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height.

A box rests on the (horizontal) back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface on which it
vredina [299]

Answer:

The distance is 11 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Friction coefficient = 0.24

Time = 3.0 s

Initial velocity = 0

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

F = ma...(I)

Using formula of friction force

F= \mu m g....(II)

Put the value of F in the equation (II) from equation (I)

ma=\mu mg....(III)

a = \mu g

Put the value in the equation (III)

a=0.24\times9.8

a=2.352\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the distance,

Using equation of motion

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}2.352\times(3.0)^2

s=10.584\ m\ approx\ 11\ m

Hence, The distance is 11 m.

three neutral metal cans mounted on isulating stands are touching a negatively charge ballon is brought near can a can b is then
Nimfa-mama [501]
Charge on can A is positive. 
Charge on can C is negative.  
Punctuation and capitalization are very useful things to pay attention to and this question would be a lot easier to understand if you had actually used both capitalization and punctuation. If I'm understanding the question, you have 3 metal can that are insulated from the environment and initially touching each other in a straight line. Then a negatively charged balloon is brought near, but not touching one of the cans in that line of cans. While the balloon is near, the middle can is removed. Then you want to know the charge on the can that was nearest the balloon and the charge on the can that was furthermost from the balloon. 
 As the balloon is brought near to can a, the negative charge on the balloon repels some of the electrons from can a (like charges repel). Some of those electrons will flow to can b and in turn flow to can c. Basically you'll have a charge gradient that's most positive on that part of the can that's closest to the balloon, and most negative on the part of the cans that's furthest from the balloon. You then remove can B which causes cans A and C to be electrically isolated from each other and prevents the flow of elections to equalize the charges on cans A and C when the balloon is removed. So you're left with a deficiency of electrons on can A, so can A will have a positive overall charge, and an excess of electrons on can C, so can C will have a negative overall charge.

Suppose you want to make a scale model of a hydrogen atom. You choose, for the nucleus, a small ball bearing with a radius of 1.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A)  x _electron = 0.66 10² m , B)   x _Eart = 1.13 10² m , C)  d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

Explanation:

A) Let's use a ball for the nucleus, the electron is at a farther distance the sphere for the electron must be at a distance of

Let's use proportions rule

                x_ electron = 0.529 10⁻¹⁰ /1.2 10⁻¹⁵ 1.5

               x _electron = 0.66 10⁵ mm = 0.66 10² m

B) the radii of the Earth and the sun are

               R_{E} = 6.37 10⁶ m

                tex]R_{Sum}[/tex] = 6.96 10⁸ m

                Distance = 1.5 10¹¹ m

                x_Earth = 1.5 10¹¹ / 6.96 10⁸  1.5

                x _Eart = 1.13 10² m

C) The radius of a sphere that represents the earth, if the sphere that represents the sun is 1.5 mm, let's use another rule of proportions

            d_sphere = 1.5 / 6.96 10⁸  6.37 10⁶

            d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm
