Thermometers and Temperature Scales
While traveling outside the United States, you feel sick. A companion gets you a thermometer, which says your temperature is 40.9. What scale is that on? What is your Fahrenheit temperature? Should you seek medical help?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

105.62°F

Explanation:

When the body temperature having fever is measured to be 40.9 on a scale then it must be a Celsius scale thermometer because 37°C is the normal temperature of a healthy human. In case of fever the given temperature is measured on a standard Celsius scale.

The relation between Fahrenheit and Celsius scale is:

[tex]\frac{C}{5}=\frac{F-32}{9}[/tex]

[tex]F=\frac{9C}{5} +32[/tex]

[tex]F=105.62^{o}F[/tex]

It is a high fever and an immediate medical help must be taken.

        y = 2π r = 2 π d / 2

        y = π d

        y = π 1.1

        y = 3,456 m

now we can look for the acceleration of the system

        v² = v₀² - 2 a y

        0 = v₀² - 2 a y

        a = v₀² / 2y

        a = 2.6² / 2 3.456

        a = 0.978 m / s²

now let's calculate the time

        v = v₀ - a t

        0 = v₀ - at

         t = v₀ / a

         t = 2.6 /0.978

         t = 2.658 s

ask for the result with two significant figures

         t = 2.7 s

Explain the following observations:
a) A balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air;
B) A ship made of steel floats on water.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.

suppose the tank is open to the atmosphere instead of being closed. how does the pressure vary along

Answers

Answer:

Pressure is more in the open container than the closed one.

Explanation:

The pressure due to the fluid at a depth is given by

Pressure = depth x density of fluid x gravity

So, when the container is open, the atmospheric pressure is also add  up but when  the container is closed only the pressure due to the fluid is there.

So, when the container is open, the pressure is atmospheric pressure + pressure due to the fluid.

hen the container is closed only the pressure due to the fluid is there.

A mass attached to the end of a spring is oscillating with a period of 2.25 s on a horizontal frictionless surface. The mass was released from rest at
t = 0
from the position
x = 0.0480 m.
Determine the location of the mass at
t = 5.85 s?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]X=0.0389m[/tex]

A small object A, electrically charged, creates an electric field. At a point P located 0.250 m directly north of A, the field has a value of 40.0 N/C directed to the south. If a second object B with the same charge as A is placed at 0.250m south of A (so that objects A and B and point P follow a straight line), what is the magnitude of the total electric field produced by the two objects at P?

Answers

Answer:

E_total = - 50 N / A

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector magnitude whereby

          E_total = Eₐ + E_b

where the bold letters indicate vectors, in this case the charges of the two objects A and B are the same and they are on the same line

         E_total = - E_a - E_b

         

the electric field for a point charge is

        E_a = [tex]k \ \frac{q_a}{r_a^2 }[/tex]

        qₐ= Eₐ rₐ² / k

indicates that Eₐ = 40.0 N / C

        qₐ = 40.0 0.250²/9 10⁹

        qₐ = 2.777 10⁻¹⁰ C

indicates that the charge of the two points is the same

        qₐ = q_b

      E_total = - k qₐ / rₐ² - k qₐ / (2 rₐ)²

      E_total = [tex]-k \ \frac{q_a}{r_a^2} \ ( 1 + \frac{1}{4} )[/tex]

       

we calculate

       E_total = - 40.0 (5/4)

       E_total = - 50 N / A

A boy is playing with a water hose, which has an exit area of
10 cm2 and has water flowing at a rate of 2 m/s. If he covers
the opening of the hose with his thumb so that it now has an
open area of 2 cm2, what will be the new exit velocity of the
water?

Answers

Answer:

The exit velocity of water is  B. 15 m/s.

Explanation:

According to equation of continuity, for a steady flow of water, the volume of liquid entering a pipe in 1 second is equal to the volume that leaves per second.

If the initial exit area of the pipe is A₁ and the speed of exit is v₁ and the final exit area is A₂ and its corresponding exit velocity  is v₂, then,

Rewrite the expression for v₂.

Substitute 10 cm² for A₁, 2 cm² for A₂ and 3 m/s for v₁.

The exit speed of water from the hose is 15 m/s.

Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field, if the proton travels in a circular path with a radius of 23 cm.

Answers

Answer:

 B = 1.1413 10⁻² T

Explanation:

We use energy concepts to calculate the proton velocity

starting point. When entering the electric field

        Em₀ = U = q V

final point. Right out of the electric field

        em_f = K = ½ m v²

energy is conserved

       Em₀ = Em_f

       q V = ½ m v²

       v = [tex]\sqrt{2qV/m}[/tex]

we calculate

       v = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{ 2 \ 1.6 \ 10^{-19} \ 300}{1.67 \ 0^{-27}} }[/tex]

       v = [tex]\sqrt{632.3353 \ 10^8}[/tex]

       v = 25.15 10⁴ m / s

now enters the region with magnetic field, so it is subjected to a magnetic force

        F = m a

the force is

       F = q v x B

as the velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field

       F = q v B

acceleration is centripetal

       a = v² / r

we substitute

       qvB =1/2  m v² / r

       B =  v[tex]\frac{m v}{2 q r}[/tex]

we calculate

       B = [tex]\frac{1.67 \ 10^{-27} 25.15 \ 10^4 }{1.6 \ 10^{-19} 0.23}[/tex]

A coin and feather are dropped in a moon. what will fall earlier on ground.give reasons.if they are dropped in the earth,which one will fall faster?

Answers

Answer:

When an object is dropped, the "principal" force that acts on that object is the gravitational force.

Thus, in the absence of air resistance and such, the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration:

g = 9.8m/s^2

So, when we drop objects in the moon (where there is no air) the acceleration of every object will be exactly the same. (so there is no dependence in the mass or shape of the object)

Thus, if we drop a coin and a feather in the moon, both objects will fall with the same acceleration, and then both objects will hit the ground at the same time.

But if we are in Earth, we can not ignore the air resistance (a force that acts in the opposite direction than the movement of the object)

And this force depends on the shape and mass of the object (for example, something with a really larger surface and really thin, like a sheet of paper will be more affected by this force than a small rock)

Then here, when the air resistance applies, we should expect that the heavier and smaller object (the coin) to be less affected by this force, then the resistance that the coin experiences is smaller, then the coin falls "faster" than the feather.

A cat's displacement is 15 meters to the right in 7.0 seconds. If, at the start of the 7.0 seconds, the cat was moving at a velocity of 2.0 m/s left what was its final velocity?

Answers

Answer:

6.3 m/s

Explanation:

From the given information:

The displacement (x) = 15 m

time (t) = 7.0 s

initial velocity = -2.0 m/s (since it is moving in the opposite direction)

We need to determine the acceleration then find the final velocity.

By applying the kinematics equation:

[tex]x = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]

[tex]15 = (-2.0)(7.0) + \dfrac{1}{2}a(7.0)^2\\ \\ 15 = -14.0 + \dfrac{49}{2}a \\ \\ 29= 24.5a \\ \\ a= \dfrac{29}{24.5} \\ \\ a = 1.184 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Now, to determine the final velocity by using the equation:

v = u + at

v = -2 + 1.184(7.0)

v = 6.288 m/s

v ≅ 6.3 m/s
