The boat is moving at 22 m/s while the man is moving at 23.1 m/s.

That means the man, relative to the boat, is moving at 23.1-22 = 1.1 m/s.

v =d/t, so t = d/v --> t = 3/1.1 = 2.7 s

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled  by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>

How does mass and material type effect thermal energy transfer
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The mass contributes with the time of thermal energy transfer with respect to the material type  but most importantly the material type will determine rate at which the material absorbs the transfer of heat or thermal energy by either three types, conduction, convection and radiation.

Calculate the total energy of 4.0 kg object moving horizontally at 20 m/s 50 meters above the surface.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Correct answer:  E total = 2,800 J

Explanation:

Given:

m = 4 kg   the mass of the object

V = 20 m/s  the speed (velocity) of the object

H = 50 m the height of the object above the surface

E total = ? J

The total energy of an object is equal to the sum of potential and kinetic energy

E total = Ep + Ek

Ep = m g H   we take g = 10 m/s²

Ep = 4 · 10 · 50 = 2,000 J

Ek = m V² / 2

Ek = 4 · 20² / 2 = 2 · 400 = 800 J

E total = 2,000 + 800 = 2,800 J

E total = 2,800 J

Using a complete sentence state what would most likely happen to the production of oxygen by duckweed plans if the intensity and
jeka94

Answer:

This question will be answered based on general photosynthetic understanding. The answer is:

The production of oxygen would increase

Explanation:

The characteristics of most plant forms is their ability to photosynthesize i.e. use solar energy (from sunlight) to make food (chemical energy). The product of this photosynthetic process is OXYGEN gas, which is released as a waste product via the stomata on their leaves. Note that, photosynthesis cannot occur without LIGHT as it provides the energy needed for the process.

Hence, in the duckweed plant like every other photosynthetic plant, the increase in the intensity and duration of exposure to light means the rate at which photosynthesis occurs will be increased. An increased photosynthetic rate means the synthesis of the products will also be increased i.e. glucose and OXYGEN.
