Answer:b)1770 kWh

Explanation:

Given

volume of water $V=40,000 gallons$

Temperature rise $\Delta T=10^{\circ}C$

$c=4186 J/kg-^{\circ} C$

also 1 kg mass is approximately is 1 gallon

therefore 40,000 gallon is equivalent to 3.8\times 40000 kg

heat Required to raise temperature is

$Q=mc\Delta T$

$Q=3.8\times 40000\times 4186\times 10$

$Q=63,627.2\times 10^5 J$

$Q=63,672.2\times 10^2 KJ$

$Q=1767.42 kWh\approx 1770 kWh$

Two roads intersect at right angles, one going north-south, the other east-west. an observer stands on the road 60 meters south

Sloan [31]

observer is standing at distance d = 60 m south from the intersection

cyclist is travelling at speed v = 10 m/s

now after t = 8 s its displacement from intersection is given by

$x = 10*8 = 80 m$

so the position of cyclist makes an angle with the observer

$\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{80}{60} = 53 degree$

now the component of velocity of cyclist along the line joining its position with the observer is given as

$v = v_o cos\phi$

here

$\phi = 90 -\theta$

$\phi = 90 - 53 = 37 degree$

$v = 10 cos37 = 8 m/s$

so at this instant cyclist is moving away with speed 8 m/s

10. A girl pulls a wagon along a level path for a distance of 44 m. The handle of

Rina8888 [55]

The work done on the wagon is 3549 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force when moving an object is given by

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where :

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

In this problem we have the following data:

F = 87 N is the magnitude of the force

d = 44 m is the displacement of the wagon

$\theta=22^{\circ}$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

Substituting, we find the work done

$W=(87)(44)(cos 22^{\circ})=3549 J$

A physician orders Humulin R 44 units and Humulin N 40 units qam and Humulin R 35 units ac evening meal subcutaneously. How many

jekas [21]

The question is incomplete, the concentration of qam and humulin is not given unless R is used concentration

Complete question:

A physician orders Humulin 50/50 44 units and Humulin N 40 units qam and Humulin R 35 units ac evening meal subcutaneously. How many total units of insulin are administered each morning?

Answer:

the total units of insulin admistered each morning

= 22 units of qam and humulin

Explanation:

given

44 units and Humnlin N

with concentration 50/100 = 1/2 = 0.5

∴ 44 × 0.5 ≈ 22 units in the morning

regular insulin administered each day

(22 + 35)units of qam and humulin

= 57units

If a 5.0 kg box is pulled simultaneously by a 10.0 N force and a 5.0 N force, then its acceleration must be?

kicyunya [14]

For this case we have that by definition:

$F = ma$

Where,

<em>m: mass of the object </em>
<em>a: acceleration of the object </em>
<em>F: summation of forces </em>

We have then:

$F = 10 + 5\\F = 15 N$

Then, by clearing the acceleration we have:

$a = \frac {F} {m}$

Substituting values we have:

$a = \frac {15} {5}\\a = 3 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

Answer:

The acceleration of the box is equal to:

$a = 3 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}$

In conventional television, signals are broadcast from towers to home receivers. Even when a receiver is not in direct view of a

fgiga [73]

(a) The diffraction decreases

The formula for the diffraction pattern from a single slit is given by:

$sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda}{a}$

where

$\theta$ is the angle corresponding to nth-minimum in the diffraction pattern, measured from the centre of the pattern

n is the order of the minimum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

a is the width of the opening

As we see from the formula, the longer the wavelength, the larger the diffraction pattern (because $\theta$ increases). In this problem, since the wavelength of the signal has been decreased from 54 cm to 13 mm, the diffraction of the signal has decreased.

(b) $10.8^{\circ}$

The angular spread of the central diffraction maximum is equal to twice the distance between the centre of the pattern and the first minimum, with n=1. Therefore:

$sin \theta = \frac{(1) \lambda}{a}$

in this case we have

$\lambda=54 cm = 0.54 m$ is the wavelength

$a=5.7 m$ is the width of the opening

Solving the equation, we find

$\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{\lambda}{a})=sin^{-1} (\frac{0.54 m}{5.7 m})=5.4^{\circ}$

So the angular spread of the central diffraction maximum is twice this angle:

$\theta = 2 \cdot 5.4^{\circ}=10.8^{\circ}$

(c) $0.26^{\circ}$

Here we can apply the same formula used before, but this time the wavelength of the signal is

$\lambda=13 mm=0.013 m$

so the angle corresponding to the first minimum is

$\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{\lambda}{a})=sin^{-1} (\frac{0.013 m}{5.7 m})=0.13^{\circ}$

So the angular spread of the central diffraction maximum is twice this angle:

$\theta = 2 \cdot 0.13^{\circ}=0.26^{\circ}$
