A man at point A directs his rowboat due north toward point B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river current is due

east. The man starts across, rowing steadily at 0.75 m/s and reaches the other side of the river at point C, 150 m downstream from his starting point. While the man is crossing the river, what is his velocity relative to the shore?

Answer:

1.35208 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of the boat = 0.75 m/s

Distance between the shores = 100 m

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{100}{0.75}=133.33\ s

Time taken by the boat to get across is 133.33 seconds

Point C is 150 m from B

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed=\frac{150}{\frac{100}{0.75}}=1.125\ m/s

Velocity of the water is 1.125 m/s

From Pythagoras theorem

c=\sqrt{0.75^2+1.125^2}\\\Rightarrow c=1.35208\ m/s

So, the man's velocity relative to the shore is 1.35208 m/s

Indigenous people sometimes cooked in watertight baskets by placing enough hot rocks into the water to bring it to a boil. What
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of the rock = TO BE DETERMINED

Temperature of the rock = 500 °C

Mass of the water  =4.24 kg

⇒ loses 0.044kg as vapor

Initial temperature of the water = 29°C

Final temperature = 100°C

Specific heat of rock = 0.20 kcal/kg °C

Specific heat of water = 1kcal/kg°C

Latent heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg

<u>Step 2:</u> formules

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qtotal,water = Qwater +Qvapor

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate Qvapor

Qvapor = mass of vapor * Latent heat of vapor

Qvapor = 0.044kg * 539 kcal/kg = 23.716 kcal

<u>Step 4: </u>Calculate Qwater

Qwater = mass of water * specific heat * Δtemperature

Qwater = 4.196 kg * 1kcal/kg°C *( 100-29)

Qwater = 297.916 kcal

<u>Step 5:</u> Calculate Qwater,total

Qwater,total = Qwater + Qvapor

Qwater,total = 23.716 kcal + 297.916 = 321.632 kcal

<u>Step 6</u>: Calculate Qrock

Qrock = mass of rock * specific heat rock * Δtemperature

Qrock = mass of rock * 0.20 kcal/kg°C * (100-500)

Qrock = mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg

<u>Step 7:</u> Calculate mass of rock

Qlost,rock + Qgained,water = 0

Qlost,rock = -Qgained,water

mass of rock * -80 kcal/kg = -321.632 kcal

mass of rock = 4.02 kg

The rock has a mass of 4.02 kg

Elaborate on the classification of aluminum. A) Aluminum is a noble gas and has a full valence electron shell, is chemically non
scZoUnD [109]
The correct option is (B) <span>Aluminum is a metal and is shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.

Since Aluminium is in group 13, and all the elements in group 13 are either metals or metalloids(Boron). Hence we are left with option (B) and (D). Boron is the only metalloid in group 13 and aluminium is a metal(not a metalloid); therefore, we are left with only one option which is Option (B). And Aluminium is </span>shiny, malleable, ductile, conducts heat and electricity, forms basic oxides, and forms cations in aqueous solution.<span>

How does an ice cube melt when you hold it in your hand?
dezoksy [38]
The heat from your hand causes the ice molecules to heat up and become more active. This lowers the stability of the ice cube compound causing it to melt.

Write a complete scientific explanation to account for why the ball that was moving faster caused more flour to spread out.​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

It is due to the large impulse is imparted on the flour.

Explanation:

A ball is moving faster.

When a ball is moving faster strikes to the flour, the change in momentum is large and thus the impulse imparted on the flour is large.

Impulse = change in momentum

So, as the flour experiences large impulse and large momentum so that the flour spreads out.

If the change in momentum is large so the flour spreads out is more.
