Picture a long, straight corridor running east-west, with a water fountain located somewhere along it. Starting from the west en

d of the corridor, a woman walks a short distance east along the corridor and stops before reaching the water fountain. The distance from her to the fountain is twice the distance she has walked. She then continues walking east, passes the water fountain, and stops 60 m from her first stop. Now the distance from her to the fountain is twice the distance from her to the east end of the corridor. How long is the corridor

Answer:

The corridor's distance is "90 m".

Explanation:

  • She heads in the east directions but creates the first pause, meaning she crosses the distance 'x' in step 1.
  • Now, provided that perhaps the distance by her to another fountain or waterfall just after the first stop is twice as far away she traveled.
  • Because she moved the distance of 'x,' then, therefore, her distance towards the fountain of '2x.' She casually strolls and once again pauses 60 m beyond her stop.
  • The gap about her to the waterfall during that time approximately twice the distance and her to the eastern end of the hallway.
  • Assume her gap from either the east end of the platform seems to be 'y' at either the second stop, after which '2y' may become the distance between the 2nd pause and the waterfall.

Now,

⇒  2x + 2y = 60

⇒  x + y = 30

The total distance of the corridor will be:

=  x + 2x + 2y + y

=  3\times (x + y)

=  3\times 30

=  90 \ m

A rod 150 cm long and of diameter 2.0 cm is subjected to an axial pull of 20 kn. if the modulus of elasticity of the material of
Scilla [17]
Given:
rod of circular cross section is subjected to uniaxial tension.
Length, L=1500 mm
radius, r = 10 mm
E=2*10^5 N/mm^2
Force, F=20 kN = 20,000 N
[note: newton (unit) in abbreviation is written in upper case, as in  N ]

From given above, area of cross section = π r^2 = 100 π =314 mm^2
(i) Stress,
σ
=force/area
= 20000 N / 314 mm^2
= 6366.2 N/mm^2
= 6370 N/mm^2 (to 3 significant figures)

(ii) Strain
ε
= ratio of extension / original length
= σ / E
= 6366.2 /(2*10^5)
= 0.03183 
= 0.0318 (to three significant figures)

(iii) elongation
= ε * L
= 0.03183*1500 mm
= 47.746 mm
= 47.7 mm  (to three significant figures)

) What is the electric potential due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 7.50× 10-11 m? Assume the potential is equal to
ohaa [14]
For this, we need the formula:
V = k q / r
where k is the Coulombs law constant = 9 x 10^9 N
q is the charge of the hydrogen nucleus (proton) = <span>1.6 x 10^-19 C</span> 
r is the distance
Simply plug in the values and solve for V

<h2>Apartment Explosion Reported </h2>

The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. The heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat is provided then temperature increases and the molecules of substances move rapidly by increase of kinetic energy (K.E) temperature increases. It is understood that heat increases temperature.

A rocket moves through outer space a 12,000 m/s. At this time, how much time would be required to travel the distance from Earth
nexus9112 [7]
12000 m/s = 12 km/s. Now to go 380000 km, it will take some time. How much time is given in the formula 12km/s. You go 12 kilometers every second. So you take \frac{380000km}{12km/s} and that gives you 31,666.666 seconds.

This table shows Wayne’s weight on four different planets. Planet Wayne’s weight (pounds) Mars 53 Neptune 159 Venus 128 Jupiter
oee [108]
The correct order is (in decreasing order of gravity strength)
Jupiter - Neptune - Venus - Mars

In fact, Wayne's weight on each planet is given by
W=mg
where m is Wayne's mass, which is a constant value, and g is the gravity strength at the surface of the planet. Therefore, the Wayne's weight W on each planet is directly proportional to the gravity strength of that planet: so the planet with the strongest gravity is the one where Wayne's weight is the greatest (Jupiter, 333 pounds), followed by Neptune (159),  Venus (128) and Mars (53).
