Let x mph be the speed of the ship in still water.
Against the current, the net speed is, (x-1.9) mph.
Time, t= distance, d/ Speed, v => 9= 113.4/(x-1.9) => 9(x-1.9) = 113.4 => x-1.9 = 113.4/9 => x = 12.6+1.9 = 14.5 mph

Moving with the current, the net speed of the ship = 14.5+1.9 =16.4 mph

Time take, t = d/v = 113.4/16.4 = 6.915 hours

A coil has N turns enclosing an area of A. In a physics laboratory experiment, the coil is rotated during the time interval Δt f
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

\phi_i = BA

Explanation:

magnetic flux is the count of magnetic field lines passing through a given loop or area

As we know that magnetic flux is given by the formula

\phi = \vec B. \vec A

here we also know that magnetic field B and plane of the coil is perpendicular in initial position

So the area vector is always perpendicular to the plane of the coil

so the angle between magnetic field and area vector is parallel to each other and this angle would be zero

so magnetic flux of the coil initially we have

\phi = BAcos0 = BA

Find the length (in m) of an organ pipe closed at one end that produces a fundamental frequency of 494 Hz when air temperature i
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

0.173 m.

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a closed pipe is given as

fc = v/4l .................. Equation 1

Where fc = fundamental frequency of a closed pipe, v = speed of sound  l = length of the pipe.

Making l the subject of the equation,

l = v/4fc ................ Equation 2

also

v = 331.5×0.6T ................. Equation 3

Where T = temperature in °C, T = 18.0 °c

Substitute into equation 3

v = 331.5+0.6(18)

v = 331.5+10.8

v = 342.3 m/s.

Also given: fc = 494 Hz,

Substitute into equation 2

l = 342.3/(4×494)

l = 342.3/1976

l =0.173 m.

Hence the length of the organ pipe = 0.173 m.

A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-tobe-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lig
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between earth and Retah is  d = 20 \ light \ hours =  20 * 3600 *  c =  72000c \ m

Here c is the peed of light with value c =  3.0*10^8 m/s

The time taken to reach Retah from earth is  t =  25 \ hours  =  25 * 3600 =90000 \ sec

The velocity of the spacecraft is mathematically evaluated  as

     v_s =  \frac{d }{t}

substituting values

   v_s =  \frac{72000 * 3.0*10^{8} }{90000}

    v_s =  2.40*10^{8} \ m/s

The time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame is mathematically evaluated as

      T  =  t *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

substituting value

       T  =  90000 *  \sqrt{ 1 -  \frac{[2.4*10^{8}]^2}{[3.0*10^{8}]^2} }

        T = 54000 \ s

=>    T  = 15 \ hours

So  The  time elapsed at the spacecraft’s frame is less that the time elapsed at earth's  frame
