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

Dima020 [189]
The _quamtum mechanical_ model of the atom states that an electron's exact location within an atom can not be determined, but its probable location can be estimated within a three-dimensional region called an atomic orbital and that an electron's properties within an orbital can only be described by a set of mathematical values called a quantum number.

What is the pressure exerted by a column of fresh water 10m high<br>(p=1000kg/m3 and g=10m/s)​
alexira [117]
  • Height (h) = 10 m
  • Density (ρ) = 1000 Kg/m^3
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s^2
  • We know, pressure in a fluid = hρg
  • Therefore, the pressure exerted by a column of fresh water
  • = hρg
  • = (10 × 1000 × 10) Pa
  • = 100000 Pa

<u>Answer</u><u>:</u>

<u>1000</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>Pa</u>

Hope you could understand.

Which is a correct statement of what occurs at a turbine during electricity production?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The turbine is rotated and rotates the generator to produce electricity.

Explanation:

Within a turbine enters the superheated steam which is at high pressure and high temperature, this steam is previously formed in the boiler when the steam enters the turbine hits each one of the blades of the turbine making it rotate at a given speed, the turbine shaft is coupled to the shaft of an electric generator and thus generates electricity.

It is also important to say that when the steam comes out of the turbine comes out at low pressure, this way the internal operating process is carried out within the turbine.

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 4.9 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<h2>0.069 N, in the X direction</h2>

Explanation:

According to Flemming's left hand rule, it sates that if the first three fingers of the left hand are held mutually at right angles to one another, the fore finger will point in the direction of magnetic field, the middle finger will point in direction of current, while the thumb will point to the direction of force.

Mathematically the law is stated as

F= BIL

given data

Magnetic field B=  0.43T

Current I= 4.9 A

length of conductor L= 3.3cm to meter , 3.3/100=  0.033 m

Applying the formula the force is calculated as

F= 0.43*4.9* 0.033= 0.069 N

According to Flemming's rule the direction of all parameters are mutually perpendicular to one another, then the Force is in the X direction
