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

An object of 4 cm length is placed at a distance of 18 cm in front of a convex mirror of radius of curvature 30 cm. Find the pos
erica [24]

Answer:

The position is 8.18cm from the mirror.

Nature is b=virtual

Size is 1.82cm

Explanation:

Note that for a convex mirror, the image distance and the focal length are negative;

Given

Object height H0 = 4cm

object distance u = 18cm

Radius of curvature R = 30cm

Since f = R/2

f = 30/2

f = -15cm

Recall that:

\frac{1}{f} =\frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{v}\\\frac{1}{-15}=\frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{v}    \\\frac{1}{v} =\frac{1}{-15} -\frac{1}{18}\\ \frac{1}{v} = \frac{-18-15}{270}\\\frac{1}{v} = \frac{-33}{270}\\v=\frac{-270}{33}\\v=-8.18cm

Since the image distance is negative, this shows that the image is a virtual image.

To get the size:

\frac{H_1}{H_0}=\frac{v}{u}\\\frac{H_1}{4}=\frac{8.18}{18}\\18H_i=32.72\\H_i=\frac{32.72}{18}\\H_i= 1.82cm

In which situation is no work considered to be done by a force?
andre [41]
If the angle is either 0 or 180, that means that there is either negative or positive work, so A and D are not correct.
If the angle is 45, then there is still some work involved.
The only option where there is no work done by a force is B. when the angle is between the force and displacement is 90.

3. What is the main difference between a physical change and a chemical
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B and D could both be right as they are quit similar.

Consider two rods of the same length and diameter,

Increasing the diameter of one would change the expansion qualities of that rod even though there would be no chemical changes,

However, leaving the physical appearance of both rods the same while applying a reactive substance (acid or something) to one of the rods would not necessarily change the physical appearance of that rod but could make a considerable change in the  physical properties of that rod.
