A river flows due south with a speed of 2.0 m/s. You steer a motorboat across the river; your velocity relative to the water is

4.2 m/s due east. The river is 500 m wide. (a) What is your velocity (magnitude and direction) relative to the earth? (b) How much time is required to cross the river? (c) How far south of your starting point will you reach the opposite bank?

Answer:

a) 25.5°(south of east)

b) 119 s

c) 238 m

Explanation:

solution:

we have river speed v_{r}=2 m/s

velocity of motorboat relative to water is v_{m/r}=4.2 m/s

so speed will be:

a) v_{m}=v_{r}+v_{m/r}

solving graphically

v_{m}=\sqrt{v^2_{r}+v^2_{m/r}}

     =4.7 m/s

Ф=tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{r}}{v_{m/r}} )

  =25.5°(south of east)

b) time to cross the river: t=\frac{w}{v_{m/r}}=\frac{500}{4.2}=119 s

c) d=v_{r}t=(2)(119)=238 m

Which symbol in the first law of thermodynamics represents the sum of the chemical and thermal energy stored in atoms and molecu
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

U

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

U is the internal energy of the gas, which represents the sum of the chemical and thermal energy stored in the atoms and molecules of the gas

\Delta U represents the variation of internal energy

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done by the system

So, the sum of the chemical and thermal energy stored in atoms and molecules is represented by U, the internal energy.

b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} } the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect

Explanation:

The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:

B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}} (1)

where B is the brightness, L is the star luminosity and d, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}} and B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}} where L_{Sun} is the Sun luminosity (3.9 x 10^{26} W) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. ly is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly. Then

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.

No official standard exists for extinguisher-cylinder colors. that said, a red cylinder is typically associated with which type
Lorico [155]
Fire extinguishers are typically red. Goes along with the red fire trucks and red being a color of emergency. While there isn't any standard, if we decided to change the colors of the fire extinguisher, people would be very confused and given the context, it could cost people's lives, so I'm thinking red will be the color of fire extinguishers for a while to come.

Force Problem: Four concurrent forces are applied to a 5 Kg mass: 50 N North, 25 N East, 35 N South, and 35 N West.
Kaylis [27]

A) Net horizontal force:
Fx= -35 + 25 + -10N

Net vertical force
Fy= 50 - 35 = 15N

Net force
F^2 = fX^2 +Fy^2
F= 18N

B.) Acceleration of system
a=18/5=3.6m/s^2

C). Equilibriant force must be equal to the net force above
F1= 18N

D.) Acceleration becomes half
a1= a/2 =1.8m/s^2

E.) Equilibrant force also doubles
F" = 2F' = 36N
