According to the navigation rules, which must be aboard a 22-foot powerboat

1 answer:

4 0

The navigation rules for countries in the Unites States are compiled in the U.S. Coast Guard. There are actually boating courses that are recognized by the U.S Coast Guard. One of the things they discuss there is the emergency aids every boat should have depending on the size and purpose. For recreational vessels with lengths measuring less than 39.4 feet, they must carry aboard an efficient sound producing device. This will serve as your signal when emergencies happen and you have to get the attention of nearby boat vessels. Hence, for practical purposes, every boat should have a whistle or a horn.

The closeness of measured values to an accepted value is the BLANK of the data ?

wlad13 [49]

When you refer to how close a measured value is to a standard, accepted or known value, you are talking about the ACCURACY of the data. This is the definition of accuracy when it comes to engineering and other fields of science.

Accuracy is usually associated or with the term precision, as their definitions are often interchanged.

How can we magnetise a piece of iron.

liq [111]

Place the magnet at one end of the piece of metal. The magnet must make as much contact with the metal as possible. Place light pressure on the magnet and rub the metal in one direction only. Magnetization will take some time to accomplish so continue rubbing until the iron or steel attracts other pieces of metal.

On a Saturday afternoon, you decide to pay a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn. The kid usesa manual push lawn mower with a mass

Mars2501 [29]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A.Mass,m=12 kg

$\theta=53^{\circ}$

$\mu_k=0.16$

Speed,v=1.5m/s

Net force in x direction must be zero

$F_{net}=0$

$Fsin\theta-f=0$

$Fsin\theta=f$

Net force in y direction

$N-mg-Fcos\theta=0$

$N=mg+Fcos\theta$

$f=\mu_kN=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)$

$Fsin\theta=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)$

$Fsin\theta=\mu_kmg+\mu_kFcos\theta$

$Fsin\theta-\mu_kFcos\theta=\mu_kmg$

$F(sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta)=\mu_kmg$

$F=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}$

Power,P=Fv

$P=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}v$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

B.Substitute the values

$P=\frac{0.16\times 12\times 9.8}{sin53-0.16cos53}\times 1.5$

$P=40.17W$

Achilles and the tortoise are having a race. The tortoise can run 1 mile (or whatever the Hellenic equivalent of this would be)

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Surely Achilles will catch the Tortoise, in 400 seconds

Explanation:

The problem itself reduces the interval of time many times, almost reaching zero. However, if we assume the interval constant, then it is clear that in two hours Achilles already has surpassed the Tortoise (20 miles while the Tortoise only 3).

To calculate the time, we use kinematic expression for constant speed:

$x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{tor}v_{tor}=1+t_{tor}\\x_{final}=x_{initial}+t_{ach}v_{ach}=10t_{ach}$

The moment that Achilles catch the tortoise is found by setting the same final position for both (and same time as well, since both start at the same time):

$1+t=10t\\t=1/9 hour=0.11 hours$
