Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of 104 km/h for half an hour (0.500 h), th

e blue boat headed 24.0° south of west, and the green boat headed 37.7° south of west. During this half-hour (a) how much farther west does the blue boat travel, compared to the green boat, and (b) how much farther south does the green boat travel, compared to the blue boat? Express your answers in km.

Answer:

The blue boat traveled 6.1 km farther west than the green boat

The green boat traveled 10.7 km farther south than the blue boat

Explanation:

The equation for linear uniform speed movement is

X(t) = X0 + v * t

Since we have two coordinates (X, Y) we use

X(t) = X0 + vx * t

Y(t) = Y0 + vy * t

The dock will be the origin of coordinates so X0 and Y0 will be zero. The X axis will be pointing west and the Y axis south.

The blue boat moves with a direction 24° south of west, so it will have speeds:

vxb = 104 * cos(24) = 95 km/h

vyb = 104 * sin(24) = 42.3 km/h

And the green boat:

vxg = 104 * cos(37.7) = 82.3 km/h

vyg = 104 * sin(37.7) = 63.6 km/h

After half hour the boats will have arrived at positions

Xb = 95 * 0.5 = 47.5 km

Yb = 42.3 * 0.5 = 21.1 km

And

Xg = 82.3 * 0.5 = 41.4 km

Yg = 63.6 * 0.5 = 31.8 km

The difference in positions of the boats

47.5 - 41.4 = 6.1 km

31.8 - 21.1 = 10.7 km

A 5 kg ball is sitting on the floor without moving. What is the momentum of the ball?
natita [175]

Answer:

The ball has no momentum

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the ball = 5 kg

The velocity of the ball = 0 (The ball is sitting on the floor without moving)

The momentum of the ball = The mass of the ball × Velocity of the ball

Therefore, the momentum of the ball = 5 kg × 0 m/s = 0

The momentum of the ball is zero, the ball has no momentum.

A hollow cylinder with an inner radius of 5 mm and an outer radius of 26 mm conducts a 4-A current flowing parallel to the axis
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

B = 38.2μT

Explanation:

By the Ampere's law you have that the magnetic field generated by a current, in a wire, is given by:

B=\frac{\mu_o I_r}{2\pi r}     (1)

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

r: distance from the center of the cylinder, in which B is calculated

Ir: current for the distance r

In this case, you first calculate the current Ir, by using the following relation:

I_r=JA_r

J: current density

Ar: cross sectional area for r in the hollow cylinder

Ar is given by  A_r=\pi(r^2-R_1^2)

The current density is given by the total area and the total current:

J=\frac{I_T}{A_T}=\frac{I_T}{\pi(R_2^2-R_1^2)}

R2: outer radius = 26mm = 26*10^-3 m

R1: inner radius = 5 mm = 5*10^-3 m

IT: total current  = 4 A

Then, the current in the wire for a distance r is:

I_r=JA_r=\frac{I_T}{\pi(R_2^2-R_1^2)}\pi(r^2-R_1^2)\\\\I_r=I_T\frac{r^2-R_1^2}{R_2^2-R_1^2}  (2)

You replace the last result of equation (2) into the equation (1):

B=\frac{\mu_oI_T}{2\pi r}(\frac{r^2-R_1^2}{R_2^2-R_1^2})

Finally. you replace the values of all parameters:

B=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(4A)}{2\PI (12*10^{-3}m)}(\frac{(12*10^{-3})^2-(5*10^{-3}m)^2}{(26*10^{-3}m)^2-(5*10^{-3}m)^2})\\\\B=3.82*10^{-5}T=38.2\mu T

hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at a point 12 mm from the center of the hollow cylinder, is 38.2μT

Estimate the moment of inertia of a bicycle wheel 66 cm in diameter. The rim and tire have a combined mass of 1.2 Kg
Fed [463]
<span>For a point mass the moment of inertia is just the mass times the square of perpendicular distance to the rotation axis, I = mr^2. That point mass relationship becomes the basis for all other moments of inertia since any object can be built up from a collection of point masses. So the I = (1.2 kg)(0.66m/2)^2 = 0.1307 kg m2</span>

Which explains upwelling in the oceans?
Leokris [45]

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
