Answer:

<h2>170km</h2>

Explanation:

If a ship sets out to sail to a point 154 km due north and an unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 72 km due east of its starting point, then the ships distance from the original destination can be gotten by finding the displacement of the ship and this can be gotten by using pythagoras theorem.

Let D be the unknown displacement

According to the theorem;

D² = 154² + 72²

D² = 23716 + 5184

D² = 28900

D = √28900

D = 170km

<em>This means that the ship must now sail a distance of 170km for it to reach its original destination.</em>

A marble, rolling with speed of 20m/sec rolls off the edge of the table that is 180m high (g=10m/sec2), find time taken to drop
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

<em>Choice: c. 6sec</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch </u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed (v) from a height (h), it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it finally hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration exists in that direction, thus:

v_x=v

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

v_y=g.t

Where g=10 m/s^2

To calculate the time the object takes to hit the ground, we use the same formula as for free-fall, since the time does not depend on the initial speed:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The marble rolls the edge of the table at a height of h=180 m, thus:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*180}{10}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{36}

t = 6 sec

Choice: c. 6sec

sasho [114]
<span> the speed of sound in air is directly proportional to the temperature of the air. The speed of sound depends on the temperature of the surrounding air, this can be represented by a speed of sound in air formula: v = 331m/s + 0.6m/s/C * T (where T is temperature)</span>
