The water in a river flows uniformly at a constant speed of 2.50 m/s between parallel banks 80.0 m apart. You are to deliver a p

NISA [10]

Answer:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) 133.33 m

c) 53.13°

d) 106.67 m

Explanation:

a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.

b) velocity = distance * time

Let the velocity of the swimmer be $v_{s}$ = 1.5 m/s

The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m

The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,

$t = \frac{d}{v_{s} }$

t = 80/1.5

t = 53.33 s

The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s

Let the velocity of the river be $v_{r}$ = 2.5 m/s

$S = v_{r} t$

S = 53.33 * 2.5

S = 133.33 m

c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water

That is ,

$cos \theta = \frac{v_{s} }{v_{r} } \\cos \theta = 1.5/2.5\\cos \theta = 0.6\\\theta = cos^{-1} 0.6\\\theta = 53.13^{0}$

d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer, $v_{y} = v_{s} sin \theta\\$

$v_{y} = 1.5 sin 53.13\\v_{y} = 1.2 m/s$

The vertical displacement is given by, $y = v_{y} t$

80 = 1.2 t

t = 80/1.2

t = 66.67 s

the horizontal speed,

$v_{x} = 2.5 - 1.5cos53.13\\v_{x} = 1.6 m/s$

The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer, $x = v_{x} t$

x = 1.6 * 66.67

x = 106.67 m

Two 0.20-kg balls, moving at 4 m/s east, strike a wall. Ball A bounces backwards at the same speed. Ball B stops. Which statemen

muminat

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=0.20kg$

Velocity $v=4m/s$

Generally the equation for momentum for Ball A is mathematically given by

Initial Momentum

$M_{a1}=mV$

$M_{a1}=0.2*4$

$M_{a1}=0.8$

Final Momentum

$M_{a2}=-0.8kgm/s$

Therefore

$\triangle M_a=-1.6kgm/s$

Generally the equation for momentum for Ball B is mathematically given by

Initial Momentum

$M_{b1}=mV$

$M_{b1}=0.2*4$

$M_{b1}=0.8$

Final Momentum

$M_{b2}=-0 kgm/s$

Therefore

$|\triangle M_a|>|\triangle Mb|$

Option A

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 0.550-kg projectile flying with 335 m/s, 72 meters above the ground?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

GPE = 388.08 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 0.550kg

Speed = 335 m/s

Height = 72 meters

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s²

To find the gravitational potential energy;

Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;

$G.P.E = mgh$

Where;

G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$G.P.E = 0.550 * 9.8 * 72$

GPE = 388.08 Joules.

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.

babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

$d\sin \theta =m\lambda$

For Destructive interference

$d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda$

where $\lambda =wavelength$

$d=slit\ width$

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. $m=2$

For smallest separation taking $\lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}$

$d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}$

$d=0.8\times 10^{-6}$

$d=0.8\mu m$
