Answer:

159km

Explanation:

Please view the diagram below;

The distance x of the ship from the staring point could be simply obtained by Pythagoras's theorem as follows;

x^2=135^2+84^2\\x^2=18225+7056\\x^2=25281\\x=\sqrt{25281}\\ x=159km

The mass of a truck with its cargo is 1800 kg. The truck is coasting to the right with a speed of 10 m/s. As it coasts its cargo
OverLord2011 [107]

Here we apply conservation of linear momentum. The momentum of the truck with cargo and without cargo remains constant. That is,

mv=m'v'.

Here m,v are initial mass and velocity. m',v' are final mass and velocity. Here m=1800,v=10 and m'=1800-300=1500.

The velocity of the truck be after its cargo is taken off is

v'=\frac{mv}{m'} \\  v'=\frac{1800*10}{1500} \\  v'=12 m/s

One gallon of gasoline in an automobiles engine produces on average 9.50 kg of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas; that i
Musya8 [376]

The annual production of carbon dioxide is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg.

First we calculate the fuel consumed by each car in a year

Fuel consumed=6990/21.4=326.63 gallon

Now we calculate the amount of fuel consumed by 40 million cars in a year

Fuel consumed=326.63*40*10^6=13065.42 million gallon,

Now we can calculate the annual production of carbon dioxide in the USA

CO2 production rate=9.50*13065.42=124121.49*10^6 kg

Therefore the annual production of carbon dioxide in USA is 124121.49×10^{6}[/tex] kg

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t
xeze [42]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T)   ,   The weight of the object(W) .

                                  ∴ F    =   0

                                 T  -  W  =   0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of  the object.
