A student is asked to describe the path of a paper airplane that is thrown in the classroom. Which statement best describes the

path of the paper airplane?
1. The paper airplane will move in a straight line, according to Newton’s first law of motion.
2. The paper airplane will drop straight to the ground once its inertia gives in to the force of gravity.
3. The paper airplane will create a curved path toward the floor as it is pulled toward Earth’s center.
4. The paper airplane will orbit around the desk because it is the object with the largest mass in the room.

Answer: The paper airplane will create a curved path towards the floor as it is pulled toward <u><em>Earth's center.</em></u>

Explanation: The paper airplane will be pulled to the center because <u><em>Earth has a much greater mass than objects on its surface.</em></u> And it will curve because of the amount of <u><em>force</em></u> you are putting onto the plane.

If you have to apply 40n of force on a crowbar to lift a rock that weights 400n, what is the actual mechanical advantage of the
Mrrafil [7]
The mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio between the force produced by a machine and the force applied in input:
MA= \frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}}
For the crowbar of the problem, the force applied in input is 40 N, while the force produced in output is equal to the weight of the rock that is lifted, so 400 N. Therefore, the mechanical advantage is
MA= \frac{400 N}{40 N}=10

A long-distance swimmer is able to swim through still water at 4.0 km/h. She wishes to try to swim from Port Angeles, Washington
Roman55 [17]

Let \theta be the direction the swimmer must swim relative to east. Then her velocity relative to the water is

\vec v_{S/W}=\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)(\cos\theta\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath)

The current has velocity vector (relative to the Earth)

\vec v_{W/E}=\left(3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\,\vec\imath

The swimmer's resultant velocity (her velocity relative to the Earth) is then

\vec v_{S/E}=\vec v_{S/W}+\vec v_{W/E}

\vec v_{S/E}=\left(\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath

We want the resultant vector to be pointing straight north, which means its horizontal component must be 0:

\left(4.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+3.0\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}=0\implies\cos\theta=-\dfrac{3.0}{4.0}\implies\theta\approx138.59^\circ

which is approximately 41º west of north.

A plane wall with constant properties is initially at a uniform temperature To. Suddenly, the surface at x = L is exposed to a c
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The distribution is as depicted in the attached figure.

Explanation:

From the given data

  • The plane wall is initially with constant properties is initially at a uniform temperature, To.
  • Suddenly the surface x=L is exposed to convection process such that T∞>To.
  • The other surface x=0 is maintained at To
  • Uniform volumetric heating q' such that the steady state temperature exceeds T∞.

Assumptions which are valid are

  1. There is only conduction in 1-D.
  2. The system bears constant properties.
  3. The volumetric heat generation is uniform

From the given data, the condition are as follows

<u>Initial Condition</u>

At t≤0

T(x,0)=T_o

This indicates that initially the temperature distribution was independent of x and is indicated as a straight line.

<u>Boundary Conditions</u>

<u>At x=0</u>

<u />T(0,t)=T_o<u />

This indicates that the temperature on the x=0 plane will be equal to To which will rise further due to the volumetric heat generation.

<u>At x=L</u>

<u />-k\frac{\partial T}{\partial x}]_{x=L}=h[T(L,t)-T_{\infty}]<u />

This indicates that at the time t, the rate of conduction and the rate of convection will be equal at x=L.

The temperature distribution along with the schematics are given in the attached figure.

Further the heat flux is inferred from the temperature distribution using the Fourier law and is also as in the attached figure.

It is important to note that as T(x,∞)>T∞ and T∞>To thus the heat on both the boundaries will flow away from the wall.

A student measures the pH of a solution to be 6.8. Which should the student add if she wants to decrease the pH of the solution?
zloy xaker [14]
The neutral pH is 7. Less than 7 indicates an acid and more than 7 indicates a base (up to 14).
<span> NaCl - it's a salt (we can't measure the pH)
H2O - it can be an acid but also a base  (the pH it is almost neutral,meaning close to 7 )
HF - it is a strong acid
</span><span> KOH  - it is a strong base (pH=14)
</span>
                        ↓

He needs to use HF (Hydrogen fluoride) to decrease the pH.
