A grain barge travels on a river from point a to point b loading and unloading grain. the barge travels at a rate of 99 mph rela

tive to the water. the river flows downstream at a rate of 1 mph. if the trip upstream takes 2 hours longer than the tripâ downstream, how far is it from point a to pointâ b?

The distance from point a and point is equal for travels going back and forth. They would just differ in time and speed because of the sea's speed that propels the vessel. The solutions as as follows:

Distance upstream = Distance downstream
99(t + 2) = (99 + 1)(t)

Solving for t,
t = 198 hours

That means that the distance is equal to:
Distance = 99 miles/hour * (198 + 2 hours)
Distance = 19,800 miles

(b) Figure 3.32 shows the orbit of a planet around the Sun. Compare the linear speed of the planet at positions X, Y and Z.
Viefleur [7K]

At Z ... slowest speed

At Y ... fastest speed

At X ... medium speed

Wherever it is in its orbit, the line from the planet to the Sun smears over the same amount of area every second.

That's Kepler's second law of planetary motion.

The reason this happens is: That's how gravity works. (A better explanation is available, but first you have to be able to twirl calculus and solid geometry in the air on long sticks.)

sweet [91]

Answer: Beth

Explanation: Dewayne (a) = 12/4 = 3m/s^2.

Beth (a) = 16/5 = 3.2 m/s^2.

So, Beth is the answer.

A quarter-wave monopole radio antenna (also called a Marconi antenna) consists of a long conductor of one quarter the length of
sasho [114]

Answer:

a) Height of the antenna (in m) for a radio station broadcasting at 604 kHz = 124.17 m

b)Height of the antenna (in m) for radio stations broadcasting at 1,710 kHz =43.86 m

Explanation:

(a) Radiowave wavelength= λ = c/f

As we know, Radiowave speed in the air = c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

f = frequency = 604 kHz = 604 x 10^3 Hz

Hence, wavelength = (3x10^8/604x10^3) m

λ = 496.69 m

So the height of the antenna BROADCASTING AT 604 kHz =  λ /4 = (496.69/4) m

= 124.17 m

(b) As we know , f = 1710 kHz = 1710 x 10^3 Hz  (1kHZ = 1000 Hz)

Hence, wavelength =  λ = (3 x 10^8/1710 x 10^3) m

 λ= 175.44 m

So, height of the antenna =  λ /4 = (175.44/4) m

= 43.86 m

What happens when two forces at same direction​
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

· If two forces are in the same direction, then one adds them to find the net force, which is the vector sum of these forces. However, when two forces act in opposite direction, one has to subtract the lesser force from the larger one to find the resulting force. The resultant is the direction of the larger of these two forces.

Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground with an initial spe
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

(1) 14.12 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

  • u = initial speed of the ball = 16 m/s
  • \theta = angle of the initial speed with the horizontal axis = 28^\circ
  • y_i = initial height of the ball from where Julie throws the ball = 1.5 m
  • y_f = final position of the ball where Sarah catches the ball = 1.5 m

Let us assume the following:

  • u_x = horizontal component of the initial speed
  • u_y = vertical component of the initial speed
  • a_x = horizontal acceleration of the ball
  • a_y = vertical acceleration of the ball

The given problem is projectile motion. When the ball is thrown from the air with a speed of 16 m/s at an angle 28 degree with the horizontal axis. When the ball is in the air, it experiences an only gravitational force in the downward direction if we ignore air resistance on the ball.

This means if we break the motion of the ball along two axes and study it, we have a uniform acceleration motion in the vertical direction and a zero acceleration motion along the horizontal.

Since the ball has a zero acceleration motion along the horizontal axis, the ball must have a constant speed along the horizontal at all instant of time.

Let us find out the initial velocity horizontal component of the velocity of the ball. which is given by:

u_x = u\cos 28^\circ = 16\times \cos 28^\circ = 14.12\ m/s

As this horizontal velocity remains constant in the horizontal motion at all instants of time. So, the horizontal component of the ball's velocity when Sarah catches the ball is 14.12 m/s.

Hence, the horizontal component of the ball's velocity when the ball is caught by Sarah is 14.12 m/s.
