How was the teapot dome scandal discovered and resolved​?

Answers

Answer 1

The Teapot Dome Scandal of the 1920s shocked Americans by revealing an unprecedented level of greed and corruption within the federal government.  Albert Fall, a former Secretary of the Interior, was charged with accepting bribes from oil companies in exchange for exclusive rights to drill for oil on federal land.

HOPE THIS HELPED!!! XD

Answer 2

Answer:

The Teapot Dome scandal was a corruption scandal discovered in 1922 during Harding administration. The scandal originated from the sale of land owned by the United States Navy in Wyoming and California by Interior Minister Albert Bacon Fall at a substandard price and direct appointment to a private oil company. Secretly, Fall sold the land in Wyoming to oil entrepreneurs from Mammoth Oil Company and then two fields in California to Pan-American Petroleum Company. This scandal was revealed in the public after the senate held a deep and further investigation.

Domestic Minister Albert B. Fall requested resignation in March 1923, and served a year in prison for corruption.

The scandal also weakened the general picture of the Harding administration, which has already begun to decline in popularity due to the action of the Great Railroad Strike in 1922 and the President's veto on the issue of Bonus Act of 1922.

The efficiency of a machine increases as the temperature inside _____ relative to the temperature outside.

Answers

The efficiency of a machine increases as the temperature inside increases relative to the temperature outside.

Answer:

The correct answer is increases.

Explanation:

According to the second principle of thermodynamics, when two objects at different temperatures come into thermal contact with each other, thermal energy always flows from the hottest object to the coldest.

Therefore we deduce that if the inside temperature of the machine is higher than the outside temperature, the machine will have a higher efficiency.

James Cameron piloted a submersible craft to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on the ocean's floor, 11,000 m below the surface. What was the total inward force on the 1.1-m-diameter pilot sphere in which Cameron sat?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]4.1\cdot 10^8 N[/tex]

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:

[tex]p=p_0 + \rho g h[/tex]

where

[tex]p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa[/tex] is the atmospheric pressure

[tex]\rho = 1000 kg/m^3[/tex] is the water density

[tex]g=9.8 m/s^2[/tex] is the gravitational acceleration

[tex]h=11,000 m[/tex] is the depth

Substituting,

[tex]p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa[/tex]

The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m

So the total area of the sphere is

[tex]A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2[/tex]

And so, the inward force exerted on it is

[tex]F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N[/tex]

The total inward force is about 4.1 × 10⁸ N

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

Further explanation

Let's recall Hydrostatic Pressure formula as follows:

[tex]\boxed{ P = \rho g h}[/tex]

where:

P = hydrosatic pressure ( Pa )

ρ = density of  fluid ( kg/m³ )

g = gravitational acceleration ( m/s² )

h = height of a column of liquid ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem!

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

Given:

depth of the ocean's floor = h = 11 000 m

diameter pilot sphere = d = 1.1 m

atmospheric pressure = Po = 10⁵ Pa

Asked:

total inward force = F = ?

Solution:

[tex]F = P A[/tex]

[tex]F = ( P_o + \rho g h ) A[/tex]

[tex]F = ( P_o + \rho g h ) ( \pi d^2 )[/tex] → Area of Sphere = π d²

[tex]F = ( 10^5 + 1000 \times 9.8 \times 11000 ) ( \pi \times 1.1^2 )[/tex]

[tex]F \approx 4.1 \times 10^8 \texttt{ Newton}[/tex]

[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]

Conclusion:

The total inward force is about 4.1 × 10⁸ N

A 4.65 m/s
B 21.6
C 0.6 m/s
D 1.67 m/s

Answers

The centripetal acceleration is related to the tangential velocity according to the equation below.  

a=v²/r where v is the tangential velocity and r the radius of the circular path.

thus v²=a×r

From the question provided, r=6m acceleration= 3.6m/s²

Therefore using these values in the formula v²=a×r

v=√(3.6×6)

v=√21.6

v=4.65

if u got the answer, thanks​

Answers

Answer:

In the figure attached we can see in a better way this situation. If we are told the rope is at 60 degress to the horizontal, we can place this rope in the origin of the X-Y coordinate system.

If we observe in detail, we have a right triangle where the opposite side [tex]OS[/tex] to the angle [tex]60\º[/tex] is the vertical component [tex]F_{y}[/tex] and the adjacent side [tex]AS[/tex] is the horizontal component [tex]F_{x}[/tex] . So, we can use trigonometric functions to find the force [tex]F[/tex] (the hypotenuse [tex]h[/tex]) applied to the rope.

For [tex]F_{x}[/tex]:

We can use the trigonometric function cosine, which is defined as:

[tex]cos(60\º)=\frac{AS}{h}[/tex]

This means [tex]F_{x}=Fcos(60\º)[/tex]

[tex]F_{x}=300Ncos(60\º)[/tex]

[tex]F_{x}=150N[/tex]

For [tex]F_{y}[/tex]:

We can use the trigonometric function sine, which is defined as:

[tex]sin(60\º)=\frac{OS}{h}[/tex]

This means [tex]F_{y}=Fsin(60\º)[/tex]

[tex]F_{y}=300Nsin(60\º)[/tex]

[tex]F_{y}=259.8N[/tex]

Finally the horizontal and vertical components are 150 N and 259.8 N

A. outward-seeking.
B. parallel to the person.
C. perpendicular to the person.
D. center-seeking.

Answers

D. center seeking. Good Luck

Answer: The correct answer is "center-seeking".

Explanation:

Centripetal force is the force which is required to keep the body in the circular motion. The direction of the centripetal force is towards center of the circle.

The expression for the centripetal force is as follows;

[tex]F= \frac{mv^{2} }{r}[/tex]

Here, r is the radius, v is the velocity and m is the mass of the object.

Without this force, the body cannot move in the circular motion. Then, it follows the straight line motion.

The direction of the centripetal force acting on a ball on a string being spun in a circle around a person is center-seeking.

Therefore, the correct option is (D).

One card is randomly selected from a deck of cards. Find the odds against drawing a spade greater than 2 and less than 7.

​(Simplify your​ answer.)

Answers

The number of cards in a deck without jokers is 52. If you draw just one card then the probability is going to have 52 in the denominator

the cards between 2 and 7 in the spade suit are 3 4 5 6. Since you have written "between", 4 cards will be successful.

The answer is P(3,4,5,6) = 4/52 which reduces to 1/13

Answer 1/13.

Final answer:

The odds against drawing a spade greater than 2 and less than 7 from a deck of cards are 25 to 1.

Explanation:

The odds against drawing a spade greater than 2 and less than 7 can be found by determining the probability of drawing a spade greater than 2 and less than 7, and then calculating the complement of that probability. Firstly, we need to determine the number of favorable outcomes, which is 2 (the 3 of spades and the 4 of spades). The number of possible outcomes is 52 (the total number of cards in the deck). Therefore, the probability of drawing a spade greater than 2 and less than 7 is 2/52, or 1/26. The complement of this probability, which represents the odds against drawing a spade greater than 2 and less than 7, is 1 - 1/26 = 25/26. So, the odds against drawing a spade greater than 2 and less than 7 are 25 to 1.

When two objects collide, what happens to the total momentum of the interacting forces? Explain why (use the vocabulary: momentum, potential energy and kinetic energy) How is mass related?

Answers

Collision of objects:

In a closed system, when two or more particles collide, the sum of momentum of two particles before and after collision will always be the same. In elastic collision, kinetic energy and momentum of a particle remains conserved. Whereas in inelastic collision, momentum remains same before and after collision but some of the particle's kinetic energy may be converted to other forms of energy.

A moving particle or object may possess kinetic energy and it depends mainly on its motion and mass. The kinetic energy is converted into potential energy and converted back to kinetic energy during collision of small particles.

Answers

Answer:

A glass table able to withstand a normal force of 450 N when a 500 N object is placed on it

Explanation:

An object is said to be in equilibrium when the net force acting on it is zero.

Let's analyze each option:

- A glass table able to withstand a normal force of 450 N when a 500 N object is placed on it.  --> NON-EQUILIBRIUM. In fact, the downward force (the weight of the object, 500 N) is more than the maximum upward normal force (450 N), so the net force is non-zero.

- Two teams pulling a rope in opposite directions, both with a force of 3670 N  --> EQUILIBRIUM. Both forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so the net force is zero.

- An 80-N rope holding up a 920-N weight with a tension of 1000 N.  --> EQUILIBRIUM. The total force pulling on one side is 80 N + 920 N = 1000 N, which is equal to the force on the other side.

- A 500-newton sign hanging from two chains of insignificant weight, each with a tension of 250 N --> EQUILIBRIUM. The total force pushing on one side is 250 N*2 = 500 N, which is equal to the force on the other side.

An alternating current in a wire has a voltage of 2,800 V. It needs to be reduced 70 V. The wire makes 120 turns in the primary coil of a step- down transformation. How many turns of wire need to be in the secondary coil?

Answers

Final answer:

To calculate the number of turns in the secondary coil, use the transformer equation. The number of turns in the secondary coil is found by multiplying the ratio of the secondary voltage to the primary voltage by the number of turns in the primary coil.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of turns of wire needed in the secondary coil, we can use the transformer equation. The ratio of the secondary voltage to the primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil to the number of turns in the primary coil. In this case, the primary voltage is 2,800 V and it needs to be reduced by 70 V. So, the secondary voltage is 2,800 V - 70 V = 2,730 V. The number of turns in the primary coil is 120. Using the transformer equation, we can find the number of turns in the secondary coil:

Number of turns in the secondary coil = (Secondary voltage / Primary voltage) * Number of turns in the primary coil

Number of turns in the secondary coil = (2,730 V / 2,800 V) * 120

Number of turns in the secondary coil = 117

Therefore, there should be 117 turns of wire in the secondary coil.

How does a pulley make work easier?

Answers

Pulleys are powerful simple machines.they can change the direction of a force which can make it much easier for us to make something.

Example:
If we want to lift something that weights 10 kilograms one meter high we can lift it straight up or we can use a pulley se we can pull down on one end to lift the object up

A pulley makes work easier by redistributing the force required to lift an object, providing mechanical advantage and allowing the user to exert less force over a greater distance.

A pulley is a simple machine that consists of a grooved wheel and a rope or cable. It is used to change the direction or magnitude of a force, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects.

The primary concept behind how a pulley makes work easier is the principle of mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage refers to the ability of a machine to multiply the input force applied to it, resulting in a greater output force. In the case of a pulley, it can provide a mechanical advantage by redistributing the force required to lift an object over a larger distance.

When a force is applied to one end of the rope wrapped around a pulley, the tension in the rope becomes equal throughout its length. This means that the force applied on one side of the pulley is transmitted to the other side with the same magnitude. As a result, the load being lifted is shared between the rope segments on each side of the pulley.

By using multiple pulleys, either in a fixed or movable configuration, a system of pulleys known as a block and tackle can be created. This arrangement allows for further mechanical advantage by increasing the number of rope segments supporting the load. Each additional pulley effectively divides the force required to lift the load, reducing the effort needed.

Therefore, a pulley system allows the user to exert less force over a greater distance, making it easier to lift heavy objects. The mechanical advantage provided by the pulley helps in minimizing the effort required to overcome the resistance or weight of the load, thus making work easier.
