<span>If Mary is rowing at 3.5 m/s then it will take her 190 m divided by 3.5 m/s or about 54 secs to cross the river. If the river is flowing at 1.3 m/s then in 54 secs she will be carried 54 x 1.3 or around 70.5 meters downstream when she lands on the opposite shore.</span>

A Van de Graaff generator causes a total charge q to build up on a metal sphere of radius r. Which variable does not affect the
Maru [420]

Answer:

The radius r of the metal sphere.

Explanation:

From Gauss's law we know that for a spherical charge distribution with charge Q, the electrical field at distance R from the center of the sphere is given by

E=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_oR^2}

What is important to notice here is that the radius of the sphere does not matter because any test charge sitting at distance R feels the force as if all the charge Q were sitting at the center of the sphere.

This situation is analogous to the gravitational field. When calculating gravitational force due to a body like the sun or the earth, we take not of only the mass of the sun and the distance from it's center; the sun's radius does not matter because we assume all of its mass to be concentrated at the center.

How far will a free falling object fall in 8.7 secs if it started from rest? Remember acceleration is negative for free fall. Do
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

h~=371.26m

Explanation:

when an object falls we use the equations of accelerated motion. There is only one that gives distance.

x = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

Since we have no initial velocity (started from rest) we can get rid of the (ut) term

where a we substitute g (gravitational acceleration, constant for given heights and almost 9.81m/s^2).

h =  \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 9.81 \times  {8.7}^{2}  = 371.26m

If the magnetic field in a traveling EM wave has a peak value of 17.9nT, what is the peak value of the electric field strength?
Doss [256]

Answer:

5.37 N/C

Explanation:

Peak value of magnetic field, Bo = 17.9 nT = 17.9 x 10^-9 T

The electromagnetic wave is produced when an oscillating electric and magnetic field interacts each other perpendicularly.

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both electric and magnetic field.

the relation between the electric field and magnetic field amplitudes is given by

c = \frac{E_{0}}{B_{0}}

where, c be the velocity of light, Eo be the peak value of electric field strength, Bo is the peak value of magnetic field strength.

3\times 10^{8} = \frac{E_{0}}{17.9\times 10^{-9}}}

Eo = 5.37 N/C

Two children stand on a platform at the top of a curving slide next to a backyard swimming pool. At the same moment the smaller
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

THE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE SMALLER CHILD IS LESS THAN THAT OF THE BIGGER CHILD

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy that is exerted on a body that is in motion, kinetic energy is affected by both the mass of the object and the velocity of the object.

Mathematically,Kinetic energy is represented as follows;

K.E=1/2MV^{2}

Where M represents the mass of the object in kilograms and V represents velocity of the moving object measured in meters per seconds.

The higher the weight of the object the higher the kinetic energy of the object which means the bigger child will have a higher kinetic energy than the smaller child.
