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.

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J. Explanation: Information provided indicates that the capacitance of the original capacitor is C = 1.27 F, and the potential difference applied to it is V = 59.9 kV, or 59.9 × 10³ V. The potential energy (U) for the capacitor is determined by the formula: U = (1/2) × C × V². Substituting the respective values, we find U = (1/2) × 1.27 × (59.9 × 10³)², resulting in U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J.

In mammals, the weight of the heart is approximately 0.5% of the total body weight. Write a linear model that gives the heart we
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The typical weight of a human heart is approximately 0.93 lbs.

Explanation:

Based on this,

the heart's weight constitutes about 0.5% of total body mass.

Total human weight = 185 lbs

Let the entire body weight be represented as w and the heart's weight as w_{h}.

We aim to determine the heart's weight for a human

Using the provided information

w_{h}=0.5\times w

Where, h = heart weight

w = human weight

w_{h}=\dfrac{0.5}{100}\times 185

w_{h}=0.93\ lbs

The final weight of a human heart is 0.93 lbs.

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s
Maru [3345]
Answer: a) t = 1.8 x 10^2 seconds; b) t = 54 seconds; c) t = 49 seconds. Explanation: a) To determine the time of a stationary passenger on the sidewalk, we use the position formula. Given the constant speed of the walkway, we can calculate the time taken for set distances accordingly. This calculation extends into cases where combined velocities for walking are involved in subsequent queries.

A person who climbs up something (e.g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight
kicyunya [3294]

The following values have been provided:

weight w = 240 lb = 1,067.52 N

energy E = 3,000 J

 

The equation for potential energy is:

E = w h

where h indicates the height that the person needs to ascend, therefore:

h = 3000 / 1067.52

h = 2.81 m

<span />

<span>
</span>

<span>Thus, he must ascend 2.81 meters</span>
