During the pyramid-building era the ancient Egyptians used two units of length, the palm and the ell. An ell was 7 palms and a p

alm was about 3 inches. If a hawk is tracked at a diving speed of 3 ells per second, what is its speed in inches per second? 1. 42 in/s 2. 5.25 in/s 3. 0.7 in/s 4. 126 in/s

Knowing that the units of the ancient Egyptians were palm and ell, where 1 ell was 7 palms and 1 palm was 3 inches, the speed of a hawk tracked as 3 ells/s is equal to 63 in/s. The given options are not the correct ones.            

We have that:

1 ell = 7 palms

1 palm = 3 inches

v: is the speed of the hawk = 3 ells/s

To find the <u>speed of the hawk</u> in inches per second, we need to convert 3 ells/s to in/s, as follows:  

v = 3 \: \frac{ells}{s}*\frac{7 \: palms}{1 \:ell}*\frac{3 in}{1 \: palm} = 63 \frac{in}{s}      

 

Therefore, the speed of the hawk is 63 inches per second. The given options are not the correct ones.

     

You can find another example of speed here:

How can we use the balloon experiment to prove that air has weight (even though we cannot see air)?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The end of the meter stick with the deflated balloon should have risen into the air. ... The only way the balloon could have lost mass is if the air that was inside it has mass. With this experiment you have shown that air takes up space and has mass, so you have proven that air is matter.

Answer:

Telescope

Explanation:

Telescope is usually defined as an optical instrument that is commonly used to observe the objects in a magnified way that are located at a large distance from earth. These telescopes are comprised of lenses and curved mirrors that are needed to be arranged in a proper way in order to have a prominent look. It is commonly used by the astronomers.

This was first constructed by Hans Lippershey in the year 1608.

A steel ball bearing with a radius of 1.5 cm forms an image of an object that has been placed 1.1 cm away from the bearing’s sur
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

The image is virtual

The image is upright

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

A robotic rover on Mars finds a spherical rock with a diameter of 10 centimeters​ [cm]. The rover picks up the rock and lifts it
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: 5166.347

Explanation:

The specific gravity of a solid SG (also called relative density) is the ratio of the density of that solid \rho_{rock} to the density of water \rho_{water}=1 kg/m^{3} (normally at 4\°C):

SG=\frac{\rho_{rock}}{\rho_{water}} (1)

On the other hand, the density of the rock is calculated by:

\rho_{rock}=\frac{m_{rock}}{V_{rock}} (2)

Where:

m_{rock} is the mass of the rock

V_{rock}=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} is the volume of the rock, since is spherical

Well, we already know the value of \rho_{water}, but we need to find \rho_{rock} in order to find the rock's specific gravity; and in order to do this, we firsly have to find m_{rock} and then calculate V_{rock}:

In the case of the mass of the rock, we can calclate it by the following equation:

W_{rock}=m_{rock}g_{mars} (3)

Where:

W_{rock} is the weight if the rock in mars

g_{mars}=3.7 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity in Mars

Isolating m_{rock}:

m_{rock}=\frac{W_{rock}}{g_{mars}} (4)

m_{rock}=\frac{W_{rock}}{3.7 m/s^{2}} (5)

To find W_{rock} we can use the following equation of the potential gravitational energy U:

U=W_{rock}H (6)

Where:

U=2 J=2 Nm is the potential energy

H=20 cm \frac{1m}{100 cm}=0.2 m is the height at which the rock has the mentioned potential energy

Isolating W_{rock}:

W_{rock}=\frac{U}{H} (7)

W_{rock}=\frac{2 Nm}{0.2 m} (8)

W_{rock}=10 N (9)

Substituting (9) in (5):

m_{rock}=\frac{10 N}{3.7 m/s^{2}} (10)

m_{rock}=2.702 kg (11)

Substituting (11) in (2):

\rho_{rock}=\frac{2.702 kg}{V_{rock}} (12) At this point we only need to find the volume of the rock, knowing its diameter is d=10 cm, hence its radius is r=\frac{d}{2}=5 cm

V_{rock}=\frac{4}{3} \pi (5 cm)^{3} (13)

V_{rock}=523.59 cm^{3} \frac{1 m^{3}}{(100 cm)^{3}}=0.000523 m^{3} (14)

Substituting (14) in (12):

\rho_{rock}=\frac{2.702 kg}{0.000523 m^{3}} (15)

\rho_{rock}=5166.34 kg/m^{3} (16)

Substituting (16) in (1):

SG=\frac{5166.34 kg/m^{3}}{1 kg/m^{3}} (17)

Finally we obtain the specific gravity of the​ rock:

SG=5166.347

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a) R `= 3.5 ohms

b) energy decipated =   560J

Explanation:

V = I . R

R = V / I

R `= 70 / 20

R `= 3.5 ohms

2)energy decipated = 1/2ij²

energy decipated = 1/2 x 2.8 x (20)²

energy decipated =   560J
