Answer:

$45~ \text{Hz}.$

Explanation:

$\text{Frequency,}~ f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac{360~ \text{ms}^{-1}}{8~ \text m}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=45~ \text s^{-1}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=45~ \text{Hz}$

The surface of the dock is 6 feet above the water. If you pull the rope in at a rate of 2 ft/sec, how quickly is the boat approa

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The boat is approaching the dock at a rate of <u>2.5 ft/s</u>.

Explanation:

Let the rope length be 'l' at any time 't', the distance of boat from dock be 'b' at any time 't'.

Given:

The height of dock above water (h) = 6 feet

Rate of pull of rope or rate of change of rope is, $\frac{dl}{dt}=2\ ft/s$

As clear from the question, the height is fixed and only the length 'l' and distance 'b' varies with time 't'.

Now, the above situation represents a right angled triangle as shown below.

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we have:

$l^2=h^2+b^2\\\\l^2=6^2+b^2\\\\l^2=36+b^2----------(1)$

Now, differentiating the above equation with time 't', we get:

$2l\frac{dl}{dt}=0+2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\l\frac{dl}{dt}=b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=\frac{l}{b}\frac{dl}{dt}------(2)$

Now, the distance 'b' can be calculated using 'l=10 ft' in equation (1). This gives,

$b^2=10^2-36\\\\b=\sqrt{64}=8\ ft$

Now, substituting all the given values in equation (2) and solve for $\frac{db}{dt}$ . This gives,

$\frac{db}{dt}=\frac{10}{8}\times 2\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=2.5\ ft/s$

Therefore, the boat is approaching the dock at a rate of 2.5 ft/s.

What is inertia? That is all but I need 20 characters to ask lol

damaskus [11]

Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity. Inertia is a passive property and does not enable a body to do anything except oppose such active agents as forces and torques.

What system will break the chewed food down to a form your cell can use

horsena [70]

If I'm not mistaken it should be the digestive system due to the fact that our mouths and stomachs break down food and our intestines absorb any water and nutrients

What is the dimensional formula of pressure ??

Igoryamba

Answer:

pressure is equal to the net amount of force acting per unit area. Dimensional Formulae of force is M1L1T-2 and of area is L2. Therefore Pressure's dimension can be obtained by calculating Force by Area. Dimensional formula of pressure difference is M1L-1T-2.

A 5.0-m long, 12-kg uniform ladder rests against a smooth vertical wall with the bottom of the ladder 3.0 m from the wall. the c

Semmy [17]

First establish the summation of the forces acting int the ladder

Forces in the x direction Fx = 0 = force of friction (Ff) – normal force in the wall(n2)

Forces in the y direction Fy =0 = normal force in floor (n1) – (12*9.81) –( 60*9.81)

So n1 = 706.32 N

Since Ff = un1 = 0.28*706.32 = 197,77 N = n2

Torque balance along the bottom of the ladder = 0 = n2(4 m) – (12*9.81*2.5 m) – (60*9.81 *x m)

X = 0.844 m

5/ 3 = h/ 0.844

H = 1.4 m can the 60 kg person climb berfore the ladder will slip
