Answer:

speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water

let c is speed of current

15-c is speed of boat at  upstream

15+c is speed of boat at downstream

we know that

travel time=distance/speed

\frac{10}{15-c} +\frac{10}{15+c} = 1.5

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)

300=1.5(225-c^2)

300=337.5-1.5c^2

200=225-c^2

c^2=25

c = 5

so speed of current is 5 mile/hr

Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on your diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is
erica [24]

Complete question:

A diver is 10 m below the surface of water. Calculate the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 and the density of the water is 1000 kg/m3. Answer in units of Pa. Show your work.

Answer:

Tthe pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

Given;

density of water, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

diver's position below the surface of the water, h = 10 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Let the atmospheric pressure, P₀ = 101325 Pa

The pressure 10 m below the surface of the water is calculated as;

P =  P₀  + ρgh

P = 101325 Pa  +  (1000 x 9.8 x 10)Pa

P = 199325 Pa

P = 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa.

Therefore, the pressure the fluid exerted on the diver is 1.99 x 10⁵ Pa

a parking lot is going to be 60m wide and 240m long which dimensions could be used please please help
Bezzdna [24]

Answer: The area of the parking lot is 14,400 meters squared.

Explanation:

We have the dimensions of the parking lot.

60m by 240m

The units used here are meters.

Now, if we want to know the area of the parking lot is equal to the product between the length and the width:

A = 60m*240m = 14,400 m^2

The area of the parking lot is 14,400 meters squared.

What is the frequency of a wave with speed 3m/s and wavelength 6m?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

f = 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

frequency = f

wave length = l

speed of wave = v

f = v/l → f = 3/6 = ½ = 0.5 Hz
