On arrival at a vehicle collision, you observe a small fire in the engine compartment. A bystander is attempting to smother the fire with a jacket as you approach with an A-B-C extinguisher from your ambulance. Which of the following is the best method of extinguishing the fire?
a. Sweep the nozzle of the extinguisher left and right using short bursts until you are out of extinguishing agent.
b. Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.
c. Close the hood to contain the fire within the engine compartment.
d. Aim the nozzle to the side of the fire and, with a sweeping motion, push the fire at its base

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Aim at the base of the fire and use short bursts until the fire is out.

Explanation:

Fire extinguishers use CO2 (Carbondioxide) as the extinguishing agent. This is because CO2 is denser than air, and does not support combustion.

Aiming at the base of the fire causes the CO2 to fall on the base of the fire, where the source of the fire is, trapping it, and preventing it from further reacting with air in a combustion reaction. Also, the short burst creates a strong wind that forces the flame to blow out.

a cannonball is fired with a speed of 76 m/s from the top of a cliff. It strikes the plane below with a speed of 89 m/s. if we neglect air friction, how high is the cliff

Answers

Assuming the cannonball is fired horizontally, its horizontal velocity stays at a constant 76 m/s. At the point it hits the ground, it has a speed of 89 m/s, so if its vertical velocity at that moment is [tex]v_y[/tex], we have

[tex]89\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=\sqrt{\left(76\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2+{v_y}^2}\implies{v_y}^2\approx2145\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}[/tex]

(taking the negative square root because we take the downward direction to be negative)

Recall that

[tex]{v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a\Delta x[/tex]

where [tex]v_i[/tex] and [tex]v_f[/tex] are the initial and final velocities, respectively; [tex]a[/tex] is the acceleration; and [tex]\Delta x[/tex] is the change in position of a body. In the cannonball's case, it starts with 0 vertical velocity and is subject to a downward acceleration with magnitude [tex]g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}[/tex]. So we have

[tex]2145\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}-0=-2g\Delta y\implies\Delta y\approx-109.44\,\mathrm m[/tex]

(which is negative because we take the cannonball's starting position at the top of the cliff to be the origin) so the cliff is about 109 m high.

Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy of the skateboarder as they ride up and down the ramp. Elisa: I think the skateboarder has the more total energy at the top bottom of the ramp than the bottom of the ramp. Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that , If the frictional force on a system is zero , then the total energy of a system will be conserved.

By using energy conservation

KE₁ +  U₁ = KE₂ + U₂

KE₁=Kinetic energy at location 1

U₁ =Potential energy at location 1

KE₂=Kinetic energy at location 2

U₂=Potential energy at location 2

Therefore, Raymond is thinking in a right way.

Explanation:

The rules for significant figures are:

Non-zero digits are always significant.Zeros between significant digits are also significant.Trailing zeros are significant only after a decimal point.

A zero before a decimal point is only significant if there's a non-zero digit before it.

For example, in the number 10.5, the zero is significant, because it is between significant digits.

But in the number 0.5, the zero is not significant.

Tech A says that total resistance goes up as more parallel paths are added. Tech B says that total amperage goes up as more parallel paths are added. Who is correct

Answers

Answer: Tech B says that total amperage goes up as more parallel paths are added. Who is correct

Explanation: Tech B is correct, because amperage has been known to go up through when more parallel paths are added to a circuit. this is so because when more resistors are introduced in parallel to a circuit, the resulting  resistance of the circuit would decrease, this increases the total current of the circuit. as a result, when more resistors are added in parallel what you get is a change in the direction of flow which is equal to providing more branches which charge can flow through.

A physics student throws a ball straight up. The student catches the ball in exactly the same place from which it was released. The ball’s time of flight is T, and its maximum height above its release point is H. Neglect air resistance and assume up is the positive direction. Find the ball’s average velocity during the second half of its trip. (Hint: Your answer should only have the variables H and T in it.)

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is H ÷ ¹/₂T

Explanation:

The formula for velocity is distance covered ÷ time.

Neglecting air resistance;

If the ball's time of overall time flight is T, the time it will take for the second half/return trip is ¹/₂T.

If the ball's maximum height above its released point is H, the height will also be the distance it covered for the second part of the trip since the student caught the ball in the exact same place the ball was thrown. Hence, the distance for the second half of the trip will be H.

Since velocity = distance/time

The average velocity during the second half of the trip will be = H ÷ ¹/₂T

A light beam with wavelength 500 nm is reflected constructively from a thin layer of oil having index of refraction 1.25. The oil floats on the top of water of index of refraction 1.33. What is the minimum thickness of the layer of oil

Answers

Answer:

t = 200 nm

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of a light beam is 500 nm

It is reflected constructively from a thin layer of oil having index of refraction 1.25.

The oil floats on the top of water of index of refraction 1.33.

We need to find the minimum thickness of the layer of oil. `

For constructive interference,

[tex]\dfrac{2nt}{\lambda}=m[/tex]

m is 1 for minimum thickness

n is refractive index of oil

t is thickness of layer of oil.

So,

[tex]t=\dfrac{m\lambda}{2n}\\\\t=\dfrac{1\times 500\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 1.25}\\\\t=2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\t=200\ nm[/tex]

So, the minimum thickness of the layer of oil is 200 nm.

Current, I = 5 A

We need to find the strength of the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid. It is given by the formula as follows :

[tex]N=\mu_o nI[/tex], N is number of turns per unit length of solenoid.

So,

[tex]B=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times \dfrac{2000}{0.08}\times 5\\\\=0.157\ T[/tex]

So, the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 0.157 T.

12. Prove that v' = u? + 2as.​

Answers

Correction:-

Prove that v² = u² + 2as .

Solution:-

From first equation of motion,

v = u + at

=> at = v - u

=> t = v - u / a

From the second equation of motion, we have

s = ut + 1/2at²

Putting the value of t in above equation , we get:

s = u ( v - u /a ) + 1/2 a ( v - u/a )²

s = uv - u² / a + a( v² + u² - 2uv / 2a²)

s = uv - u² / a + v² + u² - 2uv / 2a

s = 2uv - 2u² + v² + u² - 2uv / 2a

A metal sphere of radius 3cm made of brass is heated from
30°C to 100°C , Calculate the initial and final volume of the
metal sphere (Iinear expansivity of brass =0.000019k-¹ and volume of sphere =⁴/3 πr³

Answers

Answer:

Let:

r= radius= 3cm= 0.03m

∅1= initial temperature= 30°C

∅2= final temperature= 100°C

∆∅= change in temperature= ∅2 - ∅1= 70°C

L.E.= linear expansivity= 0.000019k^-1

¥= 3L.E.= volume expansivity= 3(0.000019)= 0.000057k^-1

The initial volume of the metal sphere= 4/3(πr³)

= 4/3(π×0.03³)

= 4(π×0.03²×0.01)

= 4(3.142×0.0003×0.01)

= 4(0.000009426)

= 0.000037704

= 3.7704 × 10^-5m³

¥= V2 - V1/V1∆∅

V2= ¥V1∆∅ + V1

= (1.5044 × 10^-7) + (3.7704×10^-5)

= 0.00003785

= 3.785 × 10^-5m³

Therefore, the initial and final volume of the metre sphere are 3.7704 × 10^-5 and 3.785 × 10^-5 respectively.

A wrench weighs 5.24 N on Earth. When it is taken to the Moon, where g = 1.60 m / s? how much does it weigh? (Hint: Its mass does not change.) (Unit = N)

Answers

Answer:

The weight of the wrench on the Moon is approximately 0.8555 N

Explanation:

On Earth, the acceleration of gravity at sea level is 9.8 m/s^2

then if the wrench weights 5.24 N that means that its mass according to Newton's second law is:

[tex]F = m \, a\\m=\frac{F}{a} \\m=\frac{5.24}{9.8} \, kg\\m=0.5347[/tex]

Now we can use the wrench's mass to find its weight on the Moon, knowing that the acceleration due to gravity there is 1.6 m/s^2:

[tex]W=m\,g\\W=(0.5347) \,(1.6) \,N\\W=0.8555\,\,N[/tex]

A 12cm candle is placed 6cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 15cm. What is the height of the image of the candle? Show all calculations and use SALT to describe the image.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the image of the candle is 20 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Size of the candle, h = 12 cm

Object distance from the candle, u = -6 cm

Focal length of converging lens, f = 15 cm

To find,

The height of the image of the candle.

Solution,

Firstly, we will find the image distance of the candle. Let it is equal to v. Using lens formula to find the image distance.

[tex]\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}[/tex]

v is image distance

[tex]\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{(-6)}\\\\v=-10\ cm[/tex]

If h' is the height of the image. Magnification is given by :

[tex]m=\dfrac{h'}{h}=\dfrac{v}{u}[/tex]

[tex]h'=\dfrac{vh}{u}\\\\h'=\dfrac{-10\times 12}{-6}\\\\h'=20\ cm[/tex]

So, the height of the image of the candle is 20 cm.

Doland is currently driving his car at 10 m/s. He sees Gooby and accelerates at 20 m/s2 for 2 seconds until he passes him to scare
him. How far did Doland drive during that time.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]60\; \rm m[/tex].

Explanation:

Refer to the velocity-time diagram attached. The displacement of an object over a period of time is equal to the area of the region between the velocity-time plot and the horizontal time axis. That is the case even if the velocity of the object is changing over time.

For the car in this question, the distance travelled in that two seconds should be equal to the trapezoid highlighted in green. That's the region bounded with:

on the top: the velocity-time function of this car, on the two sides: the start and end of the acceleration ([tex]\text{Time} = 0\; \rm s[/tex] and [tex]\text{Time} = 2\; \rm s[/tex],) as well as on the bottom: the horizontal time axis.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is:

[tex]\displaystyle \text{Trapezoid Area} = \frac{1}{2}\times \text{Height} \times (\text{Upper Base} + \text{Lower base})[/tex].

For the imaginary trapezoid on this velocity-time graph:

Height: [tex]\text{Time taken} = 2\; \rm s[/tex].Upper base and lower base: [tex]\text{Initial velocity} = 20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex] and [tex]\text{Final velocity} = 20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 2\; \rm s \times 20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex].

Therefore:

[tex]\begin{aligned}&\text{Displacement} \\ &= \text{Area of the imaginary trapezoid}\\ &= \frac{1}{2} \times 2\; \rm s \times \left(10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)\\ &= 60\; \rm m\end{aligned}[/tex].
