Answer:

I) 57.5 m

Il) 50 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a boy stands at a certain distance from a large building and blows a whistle.

After 2.3s he hears the echo of the sound. The speed V of the sound will be:

V = 2X / T

Where X is the distance covered

V = 2X / 2.3

V = 0.87X ...... (1)

He moves 50m towards the building and blows his whistle again; this time the echo reaches him after 2.0s.

V = (2×50) / 2

V = 50 m/s

Substitutes the V into equation 1

50 = 0.87X

X = 50 / 0.87

57.5 m

Therefore, the Boys original distance from the building is 57.5m and the

Speed of sound in air is 50m/s

LenKa [72]

Answer:

a) W = - 318.26 J, b)  W = 0 , c) W = 318.275 J , d) W = 318.275 J , e) W = 0

Explanation:

The work is defined by

           W = F .ds = F ds cos θ

Bold indicate vectors

We create a reference system where the x-axis is parallel to the ramp and the axis and perpendicular, in the attached we see a scheme of the forces

Let's use trigonometry to break down weight

     sin θ = Wₓ / W

     Wₓ = W sin 60

     cos θ = Wy / W

      Wy = W cos 60

X axis

How the body is going at constant speed

    fr - Wₓ = 0

    fr = mg sin 60

    fr = 15 9.8 sin 60

    fr = 127.31 N

Y Axis  

    N - Wy = 0

    N = mg cos 60

    N = 15 9.8 cos 60

    N = 73.5 N

Let's calculate the different jobs

a) The work of the force of gravity is

     W = mg L cos θ

Where the angles are between the weight and the displacement is

      θ = 60 + 90 = 150

     W = 15 9.8 2.50 cos 150

     W = - 318.26 J

b) The work of the normal force

     From Newton's equations

          N = Wy = W cos 60

          N = mg cos 60

         W = N L cos 90

        W = 0

c) The work of the friction force

      W = fr L cos 0

      W = 127.31 2.50

      W = 318.275 J

d) as the body is going at constant speed the force of the tape is equal to the force of friction

      W = F L cos 0

      W = 127.31 2.50

       W = 318.275 J

e) the net force

    F ’= fr - Wx = 0

    W = F ’L cos 0

    W = 0

A front wheel drive car starts from rest and accelerates to the right. Knowing that the tires do not slip on the road, what is t
Korolek [52]

Answer:

static friction acting opposite to the direction of travel

Explanation:

Because the Frictional force of the front wheels act to oppose the spinning, so, For the front wheels to roll without slipping, the friction must be static friction pointing in the direction of travel of the car.

What principles of science (like facts, laws, and theories) might help explain why similar investigations conducted in many part
natulia [17]

Answer:

Reproducibility of research

Explanation:

The principle of science that explains why similar experimental investigations conducted in different parts of the world could result in the same outcome is referred to as reproducibility.

<em>A good research or experiment in science must be reproducible, otherwise, the outcome of such an experiment might become inadmissible within the scientific community. It is a core principle of the scientific method that similar results should be obtained when an experiment or observational study conducted in one place is repeated in another place with the same procedure. Hence, an experiment must be reproducible in science in order for the outcome of such an experiment to be part of the general scientific knowledge. </em>

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻²  ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻²   ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.
