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>

Two identical masses are connected to two different flywheels that are initially stationary. Flywheel A is larger and has more m
inysia [295]

Answer:

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

Explanation:

Let's consider solving this exercise before seeing the final statements.

We use Newton's second law Rotational

      τ = I α

     T r = I α

     T gR = I α

     Alf = T R / I (1)

     T = α I / R

Now let's use Newton's second law in the mass that descends

     W- T = m a

     a = (m g -T) / m

The two accelerations need related

     a = R α

    α = a / R

    a = (m g - α I / R) / m

    R α = g - α I /m R

    α (R + I / mR) = g

    α = g / R (1 + I / mR²)

We can see that the angular acceleration depends on the radius and the moments of inertia of the steering wheels, the mass is constant

Let's review the claims

a) True. There is dependence on the radius and moment of inertia, no data is given to calculate the moment of inertia

b) False. Missing data for calculation

c) True. Information is missing to perform the calculation

d) False. There is a dependency if the radius and moment of inertia increases angular acceleration decreases

Based upon the information you have learned throughout this module on blood spatter analysis, do you feel that analyzing blood s
kompoz [17]

Answer:

I do not think that it is the most reliable way to gain information since it is very hard to do and can be easily messed up. No, I don't think you can charge someone on only evidence from blood spatter, but if there was additional evidence I think that this would definitely help with the case but not on its own, since it doesn’t give you physical evidence about the suspect.
