Answer:

267.07 km

Explanation:

We have given the radius of the earth = 6378.1 km

In 2014 the difference between the magnetic north pole and geographical north pole is 2.40°

2.40°=2.40\times \frac{\pi }{180}=0.041866 radian

We know that linear distance is given by S=R\Theta =6378.1\times 0.041866=267.07km

So we have to travel 267.07 km in going from magnetic north pole to geographic north pole

A wind turbine works by slowing the air that passes its blades and converting much of the extracted kinetic energy to electric e
ddd [48]

Answer:

2649600 Joules

Explanation:

Efficiency = 40%

m = Mass of air = 92000 kg

v = Velocity of wind = 12 m/s

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{2}\times 92000\times 12^2\\\Rightarrow K=6624000\ J

The kinetic energy of the wind is 6624000 Joules

The wind turbine extracts 40% of the kinetic energy of the wind

E=0.4\times K\\\Rightarrow E=0.4\times 6624000\\\Rightarrow E=2649600\ J

The energy extracted by the turbine every second is 2649600 Joules

How would the interference pattern change for this experiment if a. the grating was moved twice as far from the screen and b. th
Airida [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Here we will assume that the grating has the line density ( N ) defined by the number of lines per mm.

- The angle that each fringe forms on the screen is defined by ( θ ).

- The order of bright/dark spot is defined by an integer ( n )

- The wavelength of the incident light is ( λ )

- Here we will use the relation given for diffraction grating by the Young's Experiment as follows:

                               n*lambda = \frac{sin(theta)}{N}

- The above given formulation is for constructive interference.

- We will inspect the effect of increasing the distance between the screen and the grating. Consider the length ( L ) from the center of the grating to the center of the screen. The distance ( yn ) will denote the distance between each fringe in vertical direction on the screen.

- For small angles ( θ ) we can make an approximation of sin ( θ ) ≈ tan ( θ ). Where,

                            sin ( θ ) ≈ tan ( θ ) = [ yn / L ]

- Substitute the above approximation in the given relation of diffraction gratings as follows:

                            y_n = n*lamda*L*N

- To double the distance between the screen and grating we will use the above relation with ( 2L ):

                            yn ∝ L

Result: The distance between each order of bright and dark fringe is doubled. The interference pattern would have twice the spread! This also means that less number of bright spots would be seen on the screen as the coverage area would require a larger screen to accommodate the entire interference pattern. The spread also reduces the intensity/contrast between the bright and dark fringes because the distance travelled by each ray of light has increased. The intensity is inversely proportional to the square of distance travelled.

- Similarly, the line density of the grating ( N ) was doubled. Then,

                            yn ∝ N

Result: The distance between each order of bright and dark fringe is doubled. The interference pattern would have twice the spread!This also means that less number of bright spots would be seen on the screen as the coverage area would require a larger screen to accommodate the entire interference pattern.

Your friend states in a report that the average time required to circle a 1.5-mi track was 65.414 s. This was measured by timing
Aleks04 [339]

The time per lap was calculated by measuring the time for seven laps and dividing the total time by seven.

total time 65.414 s \times 7 =457.898 s.

It is given that the precision is of 0.1 s. it means it is correct upto 1 place beyond decimal.

So, the actual value could vary from 457.800 s to 457.899 s i.e. the time per lap could be 65.400 s to 65.414 s

It means measured time 65.414 s has maximum error of 0.021%. Hence, the measured value is quite precise.

A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 40 kg/s. The diameter of the entire elbow is 1
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

(a) The gauge pressure is 4,885.3 Pa

(b) The anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place is approximately 296.5 N

The direction of the anchoring force is approximately ≈ 134.8

Explanation:

The given parameters in the fluid dynamics question are;

Pipe elbow angle, θ = 90°

The mass flowrate of the water, \dot m = 40 kg/s

The diameter of the elbow, D = 10 cm

The pressure at the point of discharge of the fluid = Atmospheric pressure

The elevation between the inlet and exit of the elbow, z = 50 cm

The weight of the elbow and the water = Negligible

(a) The velocity of the fluid, v₁ = v₂ = v is given as follows;

ρ·v·A = \dot m

v = \dot m/(ρ·A)

Where;

ρ = The density of the fluid (water) = 997 kg/m³

A = The cross-sectional area of the of the elbow = π·D²/4 = π×0.1²/4 ≈ 0.00785398163

A = 0.00785398163 m²

v = 40 kg/s/(0.00785398163 m² × 997 kg/m³) ≈ 5.1083 m/s

Bernoulli's equation for the flow of fluid is presented as follows;

\dfrac{P_1}{\rho \cdot g} +\dfrac{v_1}{2 \cdot g} + z_1 = \dfrac{P_2}{\rho \cdot g} +\dfrac{v_2}{2 \cdot g} + z_2

v₁ = v₂ for the elbow of uniform cross section

P₁ - P₂ = ρ·g·(z₂ - z₁)

P₁ - P₂ = The gauge pressure = P_{gauge}

z₂ - z₁ = z = 50 cm = 0.5 m

∴ P_{gauge} = 997 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 0.5 m = 4,885.3 Pa

The gauge pressure, P_{gauge} = 4,885.3 Pa

(b) The forces acting on the elbow are;

F_{Rx} + P_{gauge}·A = -β·\dot m·v

F_{Ry}  = β·\dot m·v

∴ F_{Rx}  = -β·\dot m·v -  P_{gauge}·A

F_{Rx}  = -1.03 × 40 kg/s × 5.1083 m/s -  4,885.3 Pa × 0.00785398163 m² ≈ -208.83 N

F_{Ry}  = 1.03 × 40 kg/s × 5.1083 m/s = 210.46196 N

The resultant force, F_R, is given as follows;

F_R = √(F_{Rx}² + F_{Rz}²)

∴ F_R = √((-208.83)² + (210.46196)²) ≈ 296.486433934

Therefore;

The anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place, F_R ≈ 296.5 N

The direction of the anchoring force, θ

\theta = tan^{-1}\left( \dfrac{F_{Ry}}{F_{Rx}} \right)

∴ θ = arctan(210.46196/(-208.83)) = -45..2230044°

θ = 180° + -45.2230044° = 134.7769956°

∴ The direction of the anchoring force is approximately, θ ≈ 134.8°

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The general shape of a frequency distribution. For many data sets, statisticians use this information to determine whether there is a “normal” distribution of values. In normal distributions, the mean, median, and mode are the same. Whether the distribution is symmetrical or skewed in a certain direction. If the data is skewed to the right, this shows the mean will be greater than the median. Similarly, if the data is skewed left, the mean will be less than the median. The symmetry, or asymmetry, of the chart can help statisticians calculate probability. The modality of the data set. This means how many peaks exist in the data. For normal distributions, there will be one peak, or mode, in the data set.
