17.3 would be the correct answer.

Answer: The correct answer is option(D).

Explanation:

Distance travel by car in north of east = 20 miles

In a triangle ABC

Cos\theta =\frac{BC}{AC}

Cos 30^o=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{BC}{20}

BC=17.32

The east component of the car’s displacement to the nearest tenth of a mile 17.32 miles.

The δe of a system that releases 12.4 j of heat and does 4.2 j of work on the surroundings is __________ j.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The answer for this problem is clarified through this, the system is absorbing (+). And now see that it uses that the SURROUNDINGS are doing 84 KJ of work. Any time a system is overshadowing work done on it by the surroundings the sign will be +. So it's just 12.4 KJ + 4.2 = 16.6 KJ.

Driving your Ferrari through the Italian countryside at a speedy 88 m/s, you approach an opera diva singing a high C (1,046 Hz).
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

You will hear the note E₆

Explanation:

We know that:

Your speed = 88m/s

Original frequency = 1,046 Hz

Sound speed = 340 m/s

The Doppler effect says that:

f' = \frac{v \pm v0 }{v \mp vs}*f

Where:

f = original frequency

f' = new frequency

v = velocity of the sound wave

v0 = your velocity

vs = velocity of the source, in this case, the source is the diva, we assume that she does not move, so vs = 0.

Replacing the values that we know in the equation we have:

f' = \frac{340 m/s + 88m/s}{340 m/s} *1,046 Hz = 1,316.73 Hz

This frequency is close to the note E₆ (1,318.5 Hz)

To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground. T
podryga [215]

Answer:

The wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees

Explanation:

It is given that,

To support a tree damaged in a storm, a 12-foot wire is secured from the ground to the tree at a point 10 feet off the ground.

The hypotenuse is, H = 12 foot

The perpendicular distance is, P = 10 feet

The angle between the tree and the ground is 90 degrees

Using Pythagoras theorem as :

sin\theta=\dfrac{P}{H}

sin\theta=\dfrac{10}{12}

\theta=56.4^{\circ}

So, the wire meet the ground at an angle of 56.4 degrees. Hence, the correct option is (d).

On a warm summer day (31 ∘c), it takes 4.60 s for an echo to return from a cliff across a lake. on a winter day, it takes 5.00 s
xenn [34]
The question is missing, but I guess the problem is asking for the distance between the cliff and the source of the sound.

First of all, we need to calculate the speed of sound at temperature of T=31^{\circ}C:
v=(331+0.60 T) m/s = (331+0.6 \cdot 31) m/s = 349.6 m/s

The sound wave travels from the original point to the cliff and then back again to the original point in a total time of t=4.60 s. If we call L the distance between the source of the sound wave and the cliff, we can write (since the wave moves by uniform motion):
v= \frac{2L}{t}
where v is the speed of the wave, 2L is the total distance covered by the wave and t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate L, the distance between the source of the sound and the cliff:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(349.6 m/s)/4.60 s)}{2}=  804.1 m

A coat rack weighs 65.0 lbs when it is filled with winter coats and 40.0 lbs when it is empty. The base of the coat rack has an
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

0.056 psi more pressure is exerted by filled coat rack than an empty coat rack.

Explanation:

First we find the pressure exerted by the rack without coat. So, for that purpose, we use formula:

P₁ = F/A

where,

P₁ = Pressure exerted by empty rack = ?

F = Force exerted by empty rack = Weight of Empty Rack = 40 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₁ = 40 lb/452.4 in²

P₁ = 0.088 psi

Now, we calculate the pressure exerted by the rack along with the coat.

P₂ = F/A

where,

P₂ = Pressure exerted by rack filled with coats= ?

F = Force exerted by filled rack = Weight of Filled Rack = 65 lb

A = Base Area = 452.4 in²

Therefore,

P₂ = 65 lb/452.4 in²

P₂ = 0.144 psi

Now, the difference between both pressures is:

ΔP = P₂ - P₁

ΔP = 0.144 psi - 0.088 psi

<u>ΔP = 0.056 psi</u>
