A river has a steady speed 0.500 m/s. A student swims upstream a distance of1.00 km and swims back to the starting point. a) If

the student can swim ata speed of 1.20 m/s in still water, how long does the trip take? b) How muchtime is required in still water for the same length swim? c) Intuitively, whydoes the swim take longer when there is a current?

If a cotton ball is dropped from 12 meters with air resistance, what will be the velocity and acceleration at t = 1.00 s?
kifflom [539]
That depends on the weight, shape, size, density, and moisture content
of the cotton ball, as well as on the length, shape, thickness, and surface
texture of every little cotton fiber sticking out of it.

Now you know why we typically ignore air resistance when we work with
objects falling in gravity.

A metal rod with a length of 25.0 cm lies in the xy-plane and makes an angle of 37.5 ∘ with the positive x-axis and an angle of
pashok25 [27]
We are given with the following:
L = 25 cm
θx = <span>37.5</span>°<span>
</span>θy = 52.5°
vx = 6.8 m/s
B = 0.13i - 0.29j - 0.08k

And we are asked for the emf induced in the rod
E = B L v
Substitute the values for B and L into the equation. For v, use the given velocity along x and the angles to convert it to vector form. Then, solve for E.

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work

Why is the mechanical advantage of a bottle opener always greater than 1?
Katen [24]
For a lever, the mechanical advantage is the ratio of the lever arms. Since the lever arm of the opener is always greater than that of the output arm, the mechanical advantage is greater than 1.
