Principle: Pythagorean theorem

Given:
Let a = boat velocity = 25 miles per hour
      b = river velocity = 10 miles per hour

Required: c = actual velocity

Solution:
     
     c^2 = a^2 + b^2
     c^2 = (25)^2 + (10)^2
     c^2 = 725
     (c^2)^0.5 = (725)^0.5
      c = 26.93 miles per hour

<em>ANSWER: Actual boat velocity is 26.93 miles per hour</em>

<span>Force is proportional to the angle made by the velocity with respect to the magnetic field. It is maximum when velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field and minimum when the velocity is parallel to the magnetic field. It is proportional to sin of the angle. In this problem it will be proportional to sin(30)</span>

You suspect that a power supply is faulty, but you use a power supply tester to measure its voltage output and find it to be acc
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Load

Explanation:

A normal power supply can deliver up to certain amount of power to a load. The output power can be calculated multiplying Voltage (V) x Current (A). It happens that after a certain period of time, the power source's main components begin to wear, thus losing its ability to deliver its nominal power. Normally, when no load its connected to the source, you will get the operating Voltage, but when the load demands power, the ability to deliver power to it may fail to reach nominal levels. When connected, there may be voltage drops (thus, less power output) causing malfunctions turning it into a non-operative power supply.

Meteor Infrasound A meteor that explodes in the atmosphere creates infrasound waves that can travel multiple times around the gl
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The frequency of these waves is 4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.6 km

Distance = 8810 km

Time t = 8.67 hr

We need to calculate the velocity of sound

Using formula of velocity

v = \dfrac{D}{T}

Where, D = distance

T = time

Put the value into the formula

v =\dfrac{8810}{8.67}

v=1016\ km/hr

We need to calculate the frequency

Using formula of frequency

v=n\lambda

n=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}

Put the value into the formula

n=\dfrac{1016}{6.6}

n=153.93\ hr

n=\dfrac{153.93}{60\times60}

n=0.0427\ Hz

n=4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz

Hence, The frequency of these waves is 4.27\times10^{-2}\ Hz

the gasoline in a car does 40000 j of work on a car and generates a constant force of 20 n. how far did the car go?
NikAS [45]

     Work  =  (force) x (distance)

     40,000 J  =  (20 N) x (distance)

     Distance  =  (40,000 J) / (20 N)

                    =    2,000 meters

                    =     2 kilometers.

(20 N is not a huge force when it's being used to move a car.
It's only about  4.5 pounds.)
