A).  The sun is highest in London, but will not pass the ship
for another 5 hours.

Since the sun moves from east to west, the ship must be
5 hours west of Greenwich.

Each hour of sun motion is 15° of longitude. 
The ship's longitude is (5 x 15°) = 75° West. 

The ship may be sailing down Columbia Boulevard
in Maple Shade, New Jersey.


B).  The latitude at Buffalo's City Hall is 42.887° North.

Polaris is always within about 2/3 of a degree of that angle
above the northern horizon, when viewed from City Hall.

Choice  2)  is the most appropriate.

When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12 a the half of the amplitude, what fraction of the mechanical energy is kinetic
Sveta_85 [38]
You know that when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (A), the velocity is zero, which implies that the kinetic energy (KE) is zeero, so the total mechanical energy (ME) is the potential energy (PE).

And you know that the potential energy, PE, is [ 1/2 ] k (x^2)

Then, use x = A, to calculate the PE in the point where ME = PE.

ME = PE = [1/2] k (A)^2.

At half of the amplitude, x = A/2 => PE = [ 1/2] k (A/2)^2

=> PE = [1/4] { [1/2]k(A)^2 } = .[1/4] ME

So, if PE is 1/4 of ME, KE is 3/4 of ME.

And the answer is 3/4

a runner starts from rest and has an acceleration of 3 m/s^2. How fast is she running after 1.1 seconds
grigory [225]
Acceleration x time = velocity 

Since you're given acceleration and time, just plug the values into the equation. 

3\frac{m}{s^{2}} x 1.1 s = ? 

Solve that equation, and remember your velocity should be in m/s.

Sarah's mother gets a flat tire on her car while driving Sarah to school. They use a jack to change the tire. It exerts a force
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1250 J

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force causes an object to move over a distance. The amount of work done (W) is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance traveled.

That is;

W = F × d

Where;

W = work done (J or N/m)

F = force (N)

d = distance (m)

Based on the information provided in this question, F = 5000N, d = 0.25m

Hence;

W = F × d

W = 5000 × 0.25

W = 1250J

Therefore, 1250Joules of work is done by the jack.

A person stands 6.00 m from a speaker, and 8.00 m from an identical speaker. What is the wavelength of the first (n=1) interfere
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

wavelength = 4 m

Explanation:

For distance 6 and 8m and speed of sound in air = c.

The travel time form the various distances 6 and 8 are 6/c and 8/c respectively.

cos(wt1) + cos(wt2) = 0

for a shift in phase t1 = t - 6/c,

t2 = t - 8/c

substituting t1 and t2

cos(π - w(t - 8/c)) = cos(w(t - 6/c))

solving using trigonometry identities in radians.

we have,

π - 2πn = w(t - 8/c) - w(t - 6/c)

putting w = 2πf

π - 2πn = 2πf(t - 8/c) - 2πf(t - 6/c)

dividing both sides by π

1 - 2n = 2ft - 16(f/c) - 2ft + 12(f/c)

simplifying we have,

1 - 2n = -4(f/c)

solving for f we have,

f = c/4(2n - 1)

putting n=1 and c = 343m/s

f = (343/4)*(2(1) - 1)

f = 85.75 Hertz

wave lenght = c/f , where c= speed of sound in air , f= frequency

wave lenght = 343/85.75 = 4m
