Answer:

Northeast

Explanation:

For a person standing on a top high mid-pacific island on the 15° north latitude, the wind is expected to come from the northeast.

This is because of the Coriolis's effect. According to the Coriolis's effect the the objects moving in the northern hemisphere, tends to veer of their course to the clockwise direction. While moving clockwise from the north the east is witnessed. Thus, the wind is expected from the north east

The air in a pipe resonates at 150 Hz and 750 Hz, one of these resonances being the fundamental. If the pipe is open at both end
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

Two frequencies with magnitude 150 Hz and 750 Hz are given

For Pipe open at both sides

fundamental frequency is 150 Hz as it is smaller

frequency  of pipe is given by

f=\frac{nv}{2L}

where L=length of Pipe

v=velocity of sound

f=150\ Hz for n=1

and f=750 is for n=5

thus there are three resonance frequencies for n=2,3 and 4

For Pipe closed at one end

frequency is given by

f=\frac{(2n+1)}{4L}\cdot v

for n=0

f_1=\frac{v}{4L}

f_1=150\ Hz

for n=2

f_2=\frac{5v}{4L}

Thus there is one additional resonance corresponding to n=1 , between f_1 and f_2

A rock is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 19.6 m/s. What time interval elapses between the rock’s being thrown an
inna [77]

Answer:

It will take 4 sec rock to comes its original point

Explanation:

It is given that the rock comes to its original point

So displacement S = 0 m

Initial velocity u = 19.6 m/sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

According to second equation of motion h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

0=19.6\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2

19.6=4.9t

t = 4 sec

The eyes of many older people have lost the ability to accommodate, and so an older person’s near point may be more than 25 cm f
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Smaller refractive power

Explanation:

The refractive power of an eye is the extent to which it can converge or diverge the light rays.

Near point is the the closest point for an eye such that when an object is placed at that point the image it forms is sharp and clearly visible to the eye.

A the person ages, the ciliary muscles of the eyes weakens and as a result the lens contracts and the formation of the image takes place behind the retina instead of forming at the retina.

Thus the near point also increases and the refractive power becomes smaller.

An initially neutral glass rod is rubbed with silk. It becomes positively charged by_____.a) electrons are created on the rod.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

e) electrons are transferred from the rod to the silk.

Explanation:

An initially neutral glass rod contains equal number of electron and proton.

If the rod becomes positively charged  after being rubbed with silk, then the rod must have lost some its electron to the silk since electrons are more mobile than protons, leaving the rod with excess positive charge (protons), and the silk will be negatively charged (excess electron).

Thus, the rod becomes positively charged by transfer of electrons from rod to the silk.

e) electrons are transferred from the rod to the silk.

A nonlinear spring is used to launch a toy car. The car is pushed against the spring, compressing the spring 2.5 cm. The force t
dybincka [34]

Answer:

1.56 J

Explanation:

given,

Spring compression, x = 2.5 cm

Force exerts by the spring,

F = - k x

k = 5000 N/m

Potential energy stored = ?

energy stored in the spring

PE = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

PE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 5000\times 0.025^2

PE = 1.56 J

Hence, the potential energy stored in the car is equal to 1.56 J.
