A cat is being chased by a dog. Both are running in a straight line at constant speeds. The cat has a head start of 3.8 m. The dog is running with a speed of 8.9 m/s and catches the cat after 6.0 s. How fast did the cat run?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: In 6 secs, the dog covers-
S=vt
8.9*6 = 53.4 m.
In the same time, the cat covers, 53.4-3.8 = 49.6 m.
Thus, speed of the cat, v= s/t, 
= 49.6/6 = 8.267 m/s

How is buoyancy used in the real world?​

Answers

-- Buoyancy is used to bring crude oil from Saudi Arabi to refineries in the US. The oil is loaded into tanks that are part of supertanker ships. Buoyancy is created by their ship-shape, so they float on water, and they can be dragged across the ocean on top of the water.

-- Buoyancy is used for a cheap thrill on the weekend.  People drive out in the country and find a place where they can buy a ride under a hot-air balloon.  The balloon is filled with hot air from a propane burner under its opening, and then it rises up off the ground because of its buoyancy in cool air.

-- Buoyancy is used cleverly by factories, to get rid of their gaseous and particulate wastes.  The wastes are heated, and then blown into tall "smokestacks" connected to the factory.  Then they rise because of the buoyancy created by hot stuff in cool air.  When they leave the top of the smokestack, they keep rising for a while.  Then, weather systems blow them away from the factory, over into other people's neighborhoods, where they finally sink to the ground in places where nobody knows where they came from.

-- Buoyancy is used in teapots, coffee makers, and lava lamps.  A heat source is placed under the bottom of the container. Heat is conducted through the bottom of the container, and it heats the fluid that's in contact with the inside of the container on the bottom. The hot fluid rises to the top of the container, because of the buoyancy created by hot stuff surrounded by cool stuff.  At the same time, cool stuff flows in to take its place at the bottom.  

In pots and pans and tanks where buoyancy is used this way, the motion of the fluids up and down and around is called "convection".

What is the maximum temperature in a hot whirlpool to be considered safe?

Answers

Answer:

104 degrees

Never let the hot tub's water temperature get above 104 degrees Fahrenheit. For a healthy adult, a temperature of 100 degrees is regarded as safe. Young kids should use extra caution.

The atmosphere has many roles, including:

Answers

There are five layers of the atmosphere and these are; troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. The first layer, troposphere, is where we are able to do most of our activities. This is where we can see the formation of clouds, the production of rain, hail, snow and other weather phenomenon. Also, this layer is where the greatest amount of air pressure because most of the molecules of air are in this area. Like us, air has also mass and the pressure is brought down by the earth’s gravity causing an increase in weight exerted on you as you descend lower into the atmosphere. So, as you enter into the other layers of atmosphere above the troposphere, the air pressure starts to decrease. Below the atmosphere is the hydrosphere. This is where all liquid forms are located. And since the seawater has a greater mass than air, it has the greatest pressure. 

In a posteroanterior (pa) projection of the chest being used for cardiac evaluation, the heart measures 14.7 cm between its widest points. if the magnification factor is known to be 1.2, what is the actual diameter of the heart?

Answers

The actual diameter of the heart is 12.25 cm. Given : Heart measure = 14.7 cm Magnification factor = 1.2

14.7 / 1.2 = 12.25

What is the pressure exerted by a column of water 80 cm high ?

Answers

Answer:

P=7,840\ Pa

Explanation:

Pressure Exerted by a Column of Liquid

The pressure P exerted by a column of liquid of height h and density ρ is given by the hydrostatic pressure equation:

P = ρgh

Where ρ is the density of the liquid, g is the acceleration of gravity g=9.8m/s^2, and h is the height of the column of liquid.

The data provided is as follows:

\rho=1000\ Kg/m^3

g=9.8m/s^2

h=80\ cm = 0.8\ m

The pressure is:

P = 1000\ Kg/m^3\cdot 9.8\ m/s^2 \cdot 0.8\ m

\boxed{P=7,840\ Pa}

What is force of inertia?????????​

Answers

The force of inertia is the property common to all bodies that remain in their state, either at rest or in motion, unless some external cause is introduced to make them alter this state.
