r reads 0 °C, the Fahrenheit thermometer reads 12°F, and the Kelvin thermometer reads 273 K. Which one of the following statements is the most reasonable conclusion?
a) the Kelvin thermometer is incorrect
b) the Celsius thermometer is incorrect
c) the Fahrenheit thermometer is incorrect
d) the three thermometers are all at different temperatures

Answer:

C) the Fahrenheit thermometer is incorrect

Explanation:

Since

1) K = °C + 273

2) °F = 9/5 °C + 32

for 0 °C

1) K = 0°C + 273 = 273 K

2) °F = 9/5 * 0°C + 32 = 32 °F

Thus the Kelvin thermometer measurement coincides with the Celsius measurement but not with the °F . On the other hand, if the Fahrenheit measurement is right, the Celsius thermometer and the Kelvin one should be wrong.

Therefore is more reasonable to assume that one thermometer failed (the one of Fahrenheit and both Kelvin and Celsius are right ) that 2 thermometers ( Celsius and Kelvin thermometers fail and the one of Fahrenheit is right)

lukranit [14]

Answer:

1.) Magnitude = 5596 N

2.) Direction = 60 degrees

Explanation: You are given that the breakdown vehicle A is exerting a force of 4000 N at angle 45 degree to the vertical and breakdown vehicle B is exerting a force of 2000 N

Let us resolve the two forces into X and Y component

Sum of the forces in the X - component will be 4000 × cos 45 = 2828.43 N

Sum of the forces in the Y - component will be 2000 + ( 4000 × sin 45 )

= 2000 + 2828.43

= 4828.43 N

The resultant force R will be

R = sqrt ( X^2 + Y^2 )

Substitutes the forces at X component and Y component into the formula

R = sqrt ( 2828.43^2 + 4828.43^2 )

R = sqrt ( 31313752.53 )

R = 5595.87 N

The direction will be

Tan Ø = Y/X

Substitute Y and X into the formula

Tan Ø = 4828.43 / 2828.43

Tan Ø = 1.707106

Ø = tan^-1( 1.707106 )

Ø = 59.64 degree

Therefore, approximately, the magnitude and direction of the resultant force on the truck are 5596 N and 60 degree respectively.

Oceanographers use submerged sonar systems, towed by a cable from a ship, to map the ocean floor. In addition to their downward
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Tension in the cable is T = 16653.32 N

Explanation:

Give data:

Cross section Area A = 1.3 m^2

Drag coefficient CD = 1.2

Velocity V = 4.3 m/s

Angle made by cable with horizontal  =30 degree

Density \rho \ of\  water= 1000 kg/m3

 Drag force FD is given as

F_{D} = \fracP{1}{2} \rho v^{2} C_{D} A

        = 0.5\times 1000\times 4.32\times  1.2\times 1.3

Drag force = 14422.2 N acting opposite to the motion

As cable made angle  of 30 degree with horizontal  thus horizontal component is take into action to calculate drag force

TCos30 = F_D

T = \frac{F_D}{cos30}

T =\frac{ 14422.2}{cos 30}

T = 16653.32 N

In lab, your instructor generates a standing wave using a thin string of length L = 1.65 m fixed at both ends. You are told that
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The maximum transverse speed of the bead is 0.4 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the Amplitude of the travelling wave is

A = 3.65 mm

Now the speed of the travelling wave is

v_x = 13.5 m/s

now we know that distance of first antinode from one end is 27.5 cm

so length of the loop of the standing wave is given as

\frac{\lambda}{4} = 27.5 cm

\lambda = 110 cm

now we have

N = \frac{2L}{\lambda}

N = \frac{2(1.65)}{1.10}

N = 3

now we have

R = 2A sin(kx)

R = 2(3.65) sin(\frac{2\pi}{1.10}x)

R = 7.3 sin(1.82 \pi x)

now at x = 13.8 cm

R = 7.3 sin(1.82 \pi (0.138))

R = 5.18 mm

now we have

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

f = \frac{13.5}{1.1}

f = 12.27 Hz

now maximum speed is given as

v_y = R\omega

v_y = (5.18 \times 10^{-3})(2\pi(12.27))

v_y = 0.4 m/s

You and your friend Peter are putting new shingles on a roof pitched at 20degrees . You're sitting on the very top of the roof w
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

v₀ =3.8 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's second law of the box:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Known data

m=2.1 kg  mass of the box

d= 5.4m  length of the roof

θ = 20° angle θ of the roof with respect to the horizontal direction

μk= 0.51 : coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the roof  

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Forces acting on the box

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the box on the roof  and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

W: Weight of the box  : In vertical direction

N : Normal force : perpendicular to the direction the  roof

fk : Friction force: parallel to the direction to the roof

Calculated of the weight  of the box

W= m*g  =  (2.1 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)= 20.58 N

x-y weight components

Wx= Wsin θ= (20.58)*sin(20)° =7.039 N

Wy= Wcos θ =(20.58)*cos(20)°= 19.34 N

Calculated of the Normal force

∑Fy = m*ay    ay = 0

N-Wy= 0

N=Wy =19.34 N

Calculated of the Friction force:

fk=μk*N= 0.51* 19.34 N = 9.86 N

We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax  ,  ax= a  : acceleration of the block

Wx-f = ( 2.1)*a

7.039 - 9.86  = ( 2.1)*a

-2.821 = ( 2.1)*a

a=(-2.821) /( 2.1)

a= -1.34  m/s²

Kinematics of the box

Because the box moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula to calculate the final speed of the block :

vf²=v₀²+2*a*d Formula (2)

Where:  

d:displacement  = 5.4 m

v₀: initial speed  

vf: final speed  = 0

a : acceleration of the box = -1.34  m/s²

We replace data in the formula (2)

0²=v₀²+2*(-1.34)*(5.4)

2*(1.34)*(5.4)= v₀²

v_{o} =\sqrt{14.472}

v₀ = 3.8 m/s
