Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Given that your boat departs from the bank of a river that has a swift current parallel to its banks. If you want to cross this river in the shortest amount of time, you should direct your boat: so that it drifts with the current.

If the boat moves perpendicular to the current, the current flow will be the resistance to the movement of the boat. So, it's better for the boat to drifts perpendicularly with the current.

The best answer is therefore option D.

A krypton laser produces a cylindrical red laser beam 2.40 mm in diameter with 1.70 W of power. What is the light intensity 1.76
marta [7]

Answer:

I=3.75\times 10^5 W/m^2

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of laser beam d= 2.4 mm

Radius of laser beam r= 1.2 mm

Power P =1.7 W

We know that intensity(I) of laser beam given as follows

I=\dfrac{P}{\pi r^2}

Now by putting the values

I=\dfrac{P}{\pi r^2}

I=\dfrac{1.7}{\pi \times 0.0012^2}

So

I=3.75\times 10^5 W/m^2

So the intensity at 1.76 m away from laser

I=3.75\times 10^5 W/m^2

A conducting loop in the form of a circle is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0. 50 t. If the area of the loop decrea
Kisachek [45]

The induced emf in the loop is  -1500 μ V or  - 0.0015 V  .

According to the question

A conducting loop in the form of a circle is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0. 50 t.  

i.e

Magnetic field (B) = 0. 50 T

Area of circle or loop = \pi r^{2}  

Now,

The area of the loop decreases at a rate of 3. 0 × 10⁻³ m/s

i.e

dA = 3. 0 × 10⁻³ meter²

dt = 1 sec  

As per the formula of Induced e.m.f in the loop

emf is dependent on number of turns of coil, shape of the coil, strength of magnet and speed with which magnet is moved. Emf is independent of resistivity of wire of the coil.

e=-B*\frac{dA}{dt}

where A is the area of the loop.

Now ,

Substituting the values in the formula

e=-B*\frac{dA}{dt}

e= - 0.50 *\frac{ 3 * 10^{-3}}{1}    

e = - 0.0015 V

OR

e = -1500 * 10⁻⁶ V

e =  -1500 μ V

Negative just signifies emf will such be induced that current induced will oppose change in magnetic field though it

Mrs. Botts applies brakes on a car help it to decelerate at the rate of -0.80m/s2. What distance is required to stop the car whe
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

vf=0

vi = 17

a = -0.8

Δx = ?

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 a Δx

Δx = (vf^2 - vi^2) / 2a

Δx = (0-17^2) / 2 (-0.8)

Δx = 180.625 m

How would planting trees and grass on a hillside help protect the land from these processes?
Arada [10]

Planting trees and grass on a hillside keeps the dirt and soil compacted so nothing fall.

I really do hope that this helps. ^_^
