Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

                          S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

                                u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

                            S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

                                 = 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

In very cold weather, a significant mechanism for heat loss by the human body is energy expended in warming the air taken into t
Pie

Answer:

A) Q_a=74256\ J

B) Q=93562560\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • temperature of air, T_a=-19+273=254\ K
  • temperature of lungs, T_l=37+273=310\ K
  • specific Heat exchanged from the lungs , c_l=0.47\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • specific heat of air, c_a=1020\ J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • mass of 1 L air, m'=1.3\ kg
  • breath rate, b=21\ breath.min^{-1}

A)

Now,

amount of heat needed to warm the air of lungs to the body temperature:

Q_a=m'.c_a.\Delta T

Q_a=1.3\times1020\times (310-254)

Q_a=74256\ J

B)

Amount of heat lost per hour:

<u>No. of breaths per hour:</u>

B=b.60

B=21\times 60

B=1260

<u>Now the total loss of energy in 1 hr.:</u>

Q=Q_a.B

Q=74256\times 1260

Q=93562560\ J

Technician A says that the use of some RTV sealants to seal components on an engine can damage the oxygen sensor. Technician B s
netineya [11]

Answer: The correct option is C(both A and B)

Explanation:

In engine chambers, internal combustion of fuel is used to produce mechanical energy.

RTV ( Room Temperature Vulcanising) sealants are silicon products used for the sealing purpose of the engine component. As the name implies once exposed to air, it solidifies. However, it has a negative effect on the oxygen sensor of the engine components by makes a coating over the sensors with the silicone film and, after a time, will affect the operation performed by them. Therefore Technician A is correct.

Technician B is equally correct in that an engine need to be lubricated with oil to help cool the moving part while on. But in order to ensure that oil reaches all movable parts a common method know as heavy-duty reversible spin drills is applied. This method regulates the flow of oil using the engine.

A blue puck has a velocity of 0i – 3j m/s and a mass of 4 kg. A gold puck has a velocity of 12i – 5j m/s and a mass of 6 kg. Wha
Mnenie [13.5K]
By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:
 K = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 where
 m = mass
 v = speed
 We must then find the speed of both objects:
 blue puck
 v = root ((0) ^ 2 + (- 3) ^ 2) = 3
 gold puck
 v = root ((12) ^ 2 + (- 5) ^ 2) = 13
 Then, the kinetic energy of the system will be:
 K = (1/2) * m1 * v1 ^ 2 + (1/2) * m2 * v2 ^ 2
 K = (1/2) * (4) * (3 ^ 2) + (1/2) * (6) * (13 ^ 2)

The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.80g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg. If an 80 kg passenger rode al
irina [24]

Answer:

a = 15.1 g

Explanation:

The relation between mass and acceleration is given by :

m\propto \dfrac{1}{a}

If a₁ = 0.80g, m₁ = 1510 kg, m₂ = 80 kg, we need to find a₂

So,

\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{a_2}{a_1}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{a_1m_1}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{0.8g\times 1510}{80}\\\\a_2=15.1g

So, the car's acceleration would be 15.1 g.

Is v2 = v1t+a dimensionally correct? Explain please!
Lady bird [3.3K]
You want v2 = v1 + at
v is measured in m/s, a in m/s2, and t in s.
the dimensions multiply like algebraic quantities. 
so because v2 is measured in m/s, then (v1 + at) has to come out in m/s
 the units for (v1 + at) are (m/s) + (m/s2)(s)
time "s" cancels out one acceleration "s", so it comes ut to (m/s) + (m/s), which = (m/s). 
if you had (v1t + a), then you would have (m/s)(s) + (m/s2) which = (m) + (m/s2), which doesn't work.
