A boat traveled at a constant speed for 5 hours, covering a total distance of 132.3 kilometers. how fast was it going?

1 answer:

4 0

Velocity = distance (m) /time (s)

convert kilometers to metres (132300), substitute into formula.

convert hours to seconds (18000), substitute into formula. it becomes,

132300 divided by 18000 = 7.35 M/S

always answer questions in the units given in the question.

to get m/s into km/h, multiply by 3.6, therefore it equals 24.46 km/h

A swimming pool has the shape of a box with a base that measures 30 m by 12 m and a uniform depth of 2.2 m. How much work is req

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

853776 J

Explanation:

The work-energy needs to pump water out of the pool is the product of the weight of water and distance h

E = Wh = mgh

Since water mass is a body of water we can treat it as the product of density 1000kg/m3 and volume, which is the product of base area and uniform height h

$m = \rho V = \rho \int\limits^{2.2}_0 {A} \, dh$

Therefore:

$E = mgh = g\rho A\int\limits^{2.2}_0 {h} \, dh\\E = 9.8*1000*30*12[h^2/2]^{2.2}_0 = 1764000(2.2^2 - 0^2) = 853776 J$

A 10.0-kg animal is running at a rate of 3.0 m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the animal?

Ilya [14]

Kinetic energy is calculated by using formula:

Ek = 1/2*m*v^2

Now we replace values of mass and speed in this formula.

Ek = 1/2*10*3^2 = 45.0J

When you have a formula and all variable values are given in the text of question just replace variable values in equation and find the final value.

A string fixed at both ends is 8.40 m long and has a mass of 0.120 kg. It is subjected to a tension of 96.0 N and set oscillatin

Luden [163]

Answer:

81.9756 m/s

16.8 m

4.8795 Hz

Explanation:

m = Mass of string = 0.12 kg

L = Length of string = 8.4 m

T = Tension on string = 96 N

Linear density is given by

$\mu=\dfrac{m}{L}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{0.12}{8.4}$

Spee of the wave is given by

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{96}{\dfrac{0.12}{8.4}}}\\\Rightarrow v=81.9756\ m/s$

The speed of the waves on the string is 81.9756 m/s

Wavelength is given by

$\lambda=2L\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2\times 8.4\\\Rightarrow \lambda=16.8\ m$

The longest possible wavelength is 16.8 m

Frequency is given by

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{81.9756}{16.8}\\\Rightarrow f=4.8795\ Hz$

The frequency of the wave is 4.8795 Hz
