Be-36 what hull type is best for use on ponds, small lakes and calm rivers?
LenaWriter [7]
The hull type that is best for use on ponds, small lakes and calm rivers is Flat Bottom Hull. 
A flat bottomed boat is a boat with a flat bottomed, two-chined hull, which allows it to be used in shallow bodies of water, such as rivers, because it is less likely to ground. The flat hull also makes the boat more stable in calm water.

What is the restoring force of a pendulum
salantis [7]

Answer:

the Restoring force causes the vibrating object to go slower going further from the equilibrium position and to go faster as it approaches the equilibrium position. the restoring force is what is causing the vibration The tension force comes from the string tugging on the bob of the pendulum.

How does the sun transmit energy from millions of miles away into the Earth system? 'Energy' and 'power' are often confused, but
Leona [35]

Answer:

  • Energy from sun travels to the earth by radiation of waves.
  • Energy is the capacity to do the work whereas power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer.
  • Energy always transforms from higher grade to a lower grade.

Positive feedback are not good when it disturbs the stability too much over a wide range.

No, negative feedback are not always bad because they enhance the stability of our system, resist the change in a system making it consistent and have a narrower range of variation.

Explanation:

The energy from the sun travels a huge distance in vacuum and atmosphere.

  • The solar energy travels to the earth in the form of electromagnetic radiations which do not require any medium of transmission and are capable of travelling in vacuum by the mode called radiation. In this mode the packets of energy get directly transmitted from the source to its surroundings. This packet of energy is called quanta.
  • Energy is the capacity to do work. Everything that we see and feel around us is some sort of energy. Every matter is the condensed form of energy the other forms that we cannot touch or feel is the wave form of energy. The wave form of energy stays in two form either stored in a mass or it is in transition. Now the concept of power arises form the energy in motion, power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer. We usually use the term power for the energy in motion.
  • We can burn a gallon of fuel only once because it undergoes a chemical change and the chemical changes are mostly permanent in nature. There is a certain direction to which the energy can  flow spontaneously. When we burn the fuel then the stored chemical energy of the fuel gets converted into heat and light and the heat energy released during the combustion of the fuel is sufficient to further provide the heat of combustion of fuel.
  • Energy always transforms from high grade to the lower grade and the converse is not possible spontaneously.

Positive feedback are not good when it disturbs the stability too much over a wide range.

No, negative feedback are not always bad because they enhance the stability of our system, resist the change in a system making it consistent and have a narrower range of variation.

A radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the range to the plane is 375.0 m
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

819.78 m

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • OA = range of initial position of the airplane from the point of observation = 375 m
  • OB = range of the final position of the airplane from the point of observation = 797 m
  • \theta = angle of the initial position vector from the observation point = 43^\circ
  • \alpha = angle of the final position vector from the observation point = 123^\circ
  • \vec{AB} = displacement vector from initial position to the final position

A diagram has been attached with the solution in order to clearly show the position of the plane.

\vec{OA} = OA\cos \theta \hat{i}+OA \sin \theta \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = 375\ m\cos 43^\circ \hat{i}+375\ m\sin 43^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OA} = (274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\vec{OB} = OB\cos \alpha \hat{i}+OB \sin \alpha \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = 797\ m\cos 123^\circ \hat{i}+797\ m\sin 123^\circ \hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \vec{OB} = (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m

Displacement vector of the airplane will be the shortest line joining the initial position of the airplane to the final position of the airplane which is given by:

\vec{AB}=\vec{OB}-\vec{OA}\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} =  (-434.08\ \hat{i}+668.42\ \hat{j})\ m-(274.26\ \hat{i}+255.75\ \hat{j})\ m\\\Rightarrow \vec{AB} =  (-708.34\ \hat{i}+412.67\ \hat{j})\ m

The magnitude of the displacement vector = \sqrt{(-708.34)^2+(412.67)^2}\ m = 819.78\ m

Hence, the magnitude of the displacement of the plane is 819.67 m during the period of observation.
