A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 85 m wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the eas

t at 2.0 m/s. The kayaker can paddle with a speed of 3.4 m/s.
(a) In which direction should he paddle in order to travel straight across the harbor?

(b) How long will it take him to cross?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the direction in which he peddles makes an angle of θ with north across

Sinθ = 2 / 3.4

θ = 36 degree ( west of north )

b )

component of his velocity along the north = 3.4 cos 36

= 2.75 m /s

time required = 85 / 2.75 s

= 31 s

What help in reversing direction of current of current​
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

<em>To reverse the direction of an electric current, we simply reverse the voltage either automatically with the help of some switching circuitry or manually by changing the voltage source terminals connection.  </em>

Explanation:

For electric current to flow, there must be a potential difference, usually referred to as the voltage. The electric current flow is analogous to the flow of water under the action of a pump, through a series of pipe connections. The voltage is similar to the driving action of the pump, and current flows the same way water flows. The resistance due to drag on the pipe wall is equivalent to electric resistance. For current to flow in the reverse direction, the voltage or rather, the potential difference is changed, causing the current to flow in the opposite direction. This can be done by switching the terminals of the voltage source, or by automatic means. The automatic switching can be done with a transistor based circuitry.

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 4.5 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.2 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to
jok3333 [9.3K]

a.) K 2=K 1 +GmM( r 21− r 11)=2.2×10 7J

b.) ​K 2 +GmM( r 11− r 21)=6.9×10 7 J

Applying Law of  Energy conservation :

K 1+U 1

=K 2+U 2

⇒K 1− r 1GmM

=K 2− r 2 GmM

where M=5.0×10 23kg,r1

=> R=3.0×10 6m and m=10kg

(a) If K 1​

=5.0×10 7J and r 2

=4.0×10 6 m, then the above equation leads to

K 2=K 1 +GmM (r 21− r 11)=2.2×10 7J

(b) In this case, we require K 2

=0 and r2

=8.0×10 6m, and solve for K 1:K 1

​=K 2 +GmM (r 11− r 21)=6.9×10 7 J

scoray [572]

Answer:

The answer is "1155\ \frac{kg}{m^3}"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

p = p_0 + ?gh

pi = pressure only at two liquids' devices

PA = pressure atmosphere.

1 = oil density

2 = uncertain fluid density

h_1 = 11 \ cm\\\\h_2= 3 \ cm

The pressures would be proportional to the quantity 11-3 = 8 cm from below the surface at the interface between both the oil and the liquid.

\to p_A + ?2g(h_1 - h_2) = p_A + ? 1gh_1\\\\\to ?2 = \frac{?1h_1}{(h_1 - h_2)} \\\\

       = \frac{840 \frac{kg}{m^3}}{\frac{11}{8}} \\\\= 1155\ \frac{kg}{m^3}
