The speed of sound in air changes with the temperature. When the temperature T is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the speed S of sound is

1087.5 feet per second. For each degree increase in temperature, the speed of sound increases by 1.1 feet per second. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Explain why speed S is a linear function of temperature T. Because S always increases by 1.1 when T increases by 1 Correct: Your answer is correct. , S has a constant rate of change and is a linear function of T. Identify the slope of the function. 1.1 Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) Use a formula to express S as a linear function of T. S = Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. (c) Solve for T in the equation from part (b) to obtain a formula for temperature T as a linear function of speed S. T = (d) Explain in practical terms the meaning of the slope of the function you found in part (c). The slope of T as a linear function of S is , and this means that an increase in the speed of sound by 1 foot per second corresponds to an increase of degree in temperature.

Answer and Explanation: A. At temperature t = 32, the speed of sound, s = 1087.5. As the temperature increases by 1°F, speed increases by 1.2. Therefore, S = 1088.6 for T= 33°F. Given two equations: 1087.5 = k(32) + c and 1088.6 = k(33) + c. Subtracting yields (33-32)k = 1088.6 - 1087.5 leading to K = 1.1. Expression: S = kT + c; with 1087.5 = 32(1.1) + c, we find c = 1052.3. Hence, S = 1.1t + 1052.3. Rewriting as T = (s/1.1) - (1052.3/1.1) gives T = 0.90(s) - 956.3. This implies that the temperature rises by 0.90 for every 1 ft/s increase in sound speed.

A person is rowing across the river with a velocity of 4.5 km/hr northward. The river is flowing eastward at 3.5 km/hr (Figure 4
Yuliya22 [2420]

Answer: Her velocity magnitude (v) relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.

Explanation:

Let Q be the speed of the boat, and P be the speed of the river flow.

R represents the resultant velocity combining boat velocity and river current.

According to vector addition using the law of triangles:

R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQCos\theta}

From the diagram:

P = 3.5 km/h, Q = 4.5 km/h

\theta= 90^o

R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQCos\theta}=\sqrt{(3.5)^2+(4.5)^2+3.5\times 4.5\times cos90^o}=5.70

(Cos90^o=0),(sin 90^o=1)

\alpha =tan^{-1}\frac{Qsin\theta}{P+Qcos\theta}=tan^{-1}\frac{4.5 sin 90^o}{3.5+4.5 cos90^o}=tan^{-1}\frac{4.5}{3.5}=52.12^o

Therefore, her velocity magnitude relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.

A tennis ball bounces on the floor three times. If each time it loses 22.0% of its energy due to heating, how high does it rise
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Answer:

H = 109.14 cm

Explanation:

Given,                                                            

Assume that the total energy equals 1 unit.                                

Energy remaining after the first collision = 0.78 x 1 unit

Balance after the first impact = 0.78 units

Remaining energy after the second impact = 0.78 ^2 units

Balance after the second impact = 0.6084 units

Remaining energy after the third impact = 0.78 ^3 units

Balance after the third impact = 0.475 units

The height reached after the third collision is equivalent to the remaining energy.

Let H denote the height achieved after three bounces.

0.475 (m g h) = m g H                  

H = 0.475 x h                                    

H = 0.475 x 2.3 m                          

H = 1.0914 m                      

H = 109.14 cm

A hot air balloon of total mass M (including passengers and luggage) is moving with a downward acceleration of magnitude a. As i
inna [2205]

Answer:

The ratio of mass that is discarded is determined by this equation:

M - m = (3a/2)/(g²- (a²/2) - (ag/2))

Explanation:

The force acting on an object in motion is defined by the equation:

F = ma

Additionally, there is a gravitational force consistently acting downwards on the object, defined as g = 9.8 ms⁻²

For convenience, we will utilize a positive notation for downward acceleration and a negative notation for upward acceleration.

Case 1:

The hot air balloon has mass = M

Acceleration = a

Upward thrust from hot air = F = constant

Gravitational force acting downward = Mg

The net force on the balloon can be expressed as:

Ma = Gravitational force - Upward Force                              

Ma = Mg - F                      (since the balloon moves downward, that means Mg > F)

F = Mg - Ma

F = M (g-a)

M = F/(g-a)

Case 2:

After releasing the ballast, the new mass becomes m. The new upward acceleration is -a/2:

The net force is expressed as:

-m(a/2) = mg - F        (The balloon is moving upwards, hence F > mg)

F = mg + m(a/2)

F = m(g + (a/2))

m = F/(g + (a/2))

Determining the fraction of the mass initially dropped:

M-m = \frac{F}{g-a} - \frac{F}{g+\frac{a}{2} }\\M-m = F*[\frac{1}{g-a} - \frac{1}{g+\frac{a}{2} }]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(g+(a/2)) - (g-a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{g+(a/2) - g + a)}{(g-a)(g+(a/2))} ]\\M-m = F*[\frac{(3a/2)}{g^{2}-\frac{a^{2}}{2}-\frac{ag}{2}} ]

A window washer on a hanging platform cleans the outside of windows on a skyscraper. The washer hoists the platform up the side
kicyunya [2264]

Answer:

The acceleration of the platform is - 1.8 m/s²

Explanation:

The net force on a body causes that body to accelerate in the direction of the resultant force applied.

Setting up the force equilibrium for the configuration:

ma = 800 - mg

100a = 800 - 100×9.8

100a = - 180

100a = - 180

a = - 1.8 m/s²

This indicates that the body is falling downward.
