Given below the arrangement of loading on the larger boat by two tug boats.

F₁ = 5 N

F₂ = 4 N

Angle between them θ = 90⁰

Resultant between two vectors, F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\theta }

Substituting

   F = \sqrt{5^2+4^2+2*5*4*cos 90} \\ \\ = 6.403 N

So magnitude of the net force on the block = 6.403 N

Calculate the current through a 3.0 ω resistor with a voltage of 9.0 v across it.
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 3 A

Explanation:

According to<u> Ohm's law</u>:  

V=R.I

Where:

V=9 V is the voltage

R=3\Omega is the resistance of the resistor

I is the electric current (the value we want to find)

Isolating I:

I=\frac{V}{R}

I=\frac{9 V}{3\Omega}

Finally:

I=3 A

A 300 g glass thermometer initially at 23 ◦C is put into 236 cm3 of hot water at 87 ◦C. Find the final temperature of the thermo
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

74^{\circ} C

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of glass,m=300 g

T_1=23^{\circ}

Volume,V=236cm^3

Mass of water=density\times volume=1\times 236=236 g

Density of water=1g/cm^3

Temperature of hot water,T=87^{\circ}

Specific heat of glass,C_g=0.2cal/g^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water,C_w=1 cal/g^{\circ}C

Q_{glass}=m_gC_g(T_f-T_1)=300\times 0.2(T_f-23)

Q_{water}=m_wC_w(T_f-T)=236\times 1(T_f-87)

Q_{glass}+Q_{water}=0

300\times 0.2(T_f-23)+236\times 1(T_f-87)

60T_f-1380+236T_f-20532=0

296T_f=20532+1380=21912

T_f=\frac{21912}{296}=74^{\circ} C

when a circular plate of metal is heated in an oven, its radius increases at .03 cm/min, at what rate is the area increasing whe
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Rate of change of area will be 9.796cm^2/min

Explanation:

We have given rate of change of radius \frac{dr}{dt}=0.03cm/min

Radius of the circular plate r = 52 cm

Area is given by A=\pi r^2

So \frac{dA}{dt}=2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}

Puting the value of r and \frac{dr}{dt}

\frac{dA}{dt}=2\times 3.14\times 52\times 0.03=9.796cm^2/min

So rate of change of area will be 9.796cm^2/min

Identifying What are five things
g100num [7]

Answer:

1. Naturally occuring

2. Solid

3. Inorganic

4. Crystalline

5. Specific Chemical Compostion

Explanation:

Minerals are inorganic, crystalline solids that occur during biogeochemical processes in nature like in cooled lava or evaporated sea water. Minerals are not rocks, but are actually the components that make up rocks. Though they vary in color and shape, each mineral has a distinct chemical composition.

1. Minerals are formed by natural geological processes. Most minerals form from molten lava, sea evaporation or hot liquids in caves or cracks. Laboratory-generated minerals like synthetic gems made for commercial purposes are not considered actual minerals.

2. Though minerals vary in shape, color, luster (the way a mineral reflects light) and hardness, all minerals are a solid at a given temperature. If a substance is not in its solid state, it is not currently a mineral. For example, ice is a mineral, but liquid water is not. The Mohr scale, rates a minerals hardness from one to 10, 10 being the hardest. Diamond is the hardest mineral. Talc is a very soft mineral with a Mohr rating of one.

3. Minerals are wholly inanimate, inorganic compounds. But there are exceptions to this qualifier. There are rare organic substances with definitive chemical compositions that are labeled as “organic minerals." The most famous of this oxymoronic exception is whewellite. Whewellite is a component of kidney stones and coal deposits.

4. Most minerals will grow into a crystal shape, space permitting. Mineral deposits are often small because there is usually a variety of minerals in the same vicinity competing for the same room to grow. A mineral’s crystalline structure determines its hardness, cleavage (how it breaks) and color. There are six different crystal shapes: cubic, tetragonal, orthohombic, hexagonal, monoclinic and triclinic.

5. A mineral is defined by its chemical composition. A rock, on the other hand, does not have a specific chemical composition because it is a composite of a variety of minerals. Minerals are classified based on their anionic group. The major mineral groups are native elements, sulfides, sulfosalts, oxides and hydroxides, halides, carbonates, nitrates, borates, sulfates, phosphates and silicates. Silica is abundant in the Earth’s crust, so silicates are the most common group of mineral.
