A spy in a speed boat is being chased down a river by government officials in a faster craft. Just as the officials’ boat pulls

up next to the spy’s boat, both boats reach the edge of a 4.6 m waterfall. The spy’s speed is 17 m/s and the officials’ speed is 28 m/s. How far apart will the two vessels be when they land below the waterfall? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m

and

xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m

the distance between them is given by:

d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m

The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3 00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm
Nesterboy [21]

Q: The small piston of a hydraulic lift has a cross-sectional of 3.00 cm2 and its large piston has a cross-sectional area of 200 cm2. What downward force of magnitude must be applied to the small piston for the lift to raise a load whose weight is Fg = 15.0 kN?

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

From Pascal's principle,

F/A = f/a ...................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted on the larger piston, f = force applied to the smaller piston, A = cross sectional area of the larger piston, a = cross sectional area of the smaller piston.

Making f the subject of the equation,

f = F(a)/A ..................... Equation 2

Given: F = 15.0 kN = 15000 N, A = 200 cm², a = 3.00 cm².

Substituting into equation 2

f = 15000(3/200)

f = 225 N.

Hence the downward force that must be applied to small piston = 225 N

What adaptation does a wood frog have that enable it to survive in deciduous forest ?
sweet [91]

Wood frogs have this adaptation where they accumulate urea in their bodies and convert their liver glycogen to glucose to act as cryoprotectants. This prevents the formation of ice crystals in their bodies that could cause damage cells during freezing in winter.
