Answer:
If she stands on the North side of a river flowing to the East at 5 mph,
she must head towards the SouthWest to arrive on the South side of the river directly across from her starting point and we have
x^2 + 5^2 = 10^2 where x is her speed directly across the river
x = (75)^1/2 = 8.66 mph towards the South
sin theta = 5 / 10 = 1/2
She must angle the boat at 30 deg from straight South
The answer is A. Polarized in a vertical plane
If positioned correctly, a polarized lenses can block all reflected light from horizontal surface such as road
Find the average speed and the average velocity.
Average speed = distance / time
distance = 10 x 8000 m = 80,000 m
time = 20 min * 60 s/min = 1200 s
Average speed = 80,000 m / 1200 s = 66.67 m/s
Average velocity = displacement / time
Given that the race car made complete circles the final poin is the same initial point, then its displacement is zero and the average velocity is zero too.
Answer:
(C) length / height of the plane
Explanation:
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can be determined using different variables. In this case, the geometry of the setup is relevant. The advantage is proportional to the length of the plane, and inversely proportional to the height: it is the ratio (length) / (height) of the plane. For example, given a desired, fixed height, a long inclined plane gives you a bigger mechanical advantage than a short inclined plane. In this example, pushing an object up the long plane will require a smaller force, than it would on the short plane.
Strictly speaking, (D) would also "allow you to determine the mechanical advantage" because you could simply invert the ratio listed under (D). However, (C) is the best, direct, answer.
