Answer:

Cape Point lighthouse

Explanation:

The lighthouse is located South of Cape Town, at a point where boats turn to go around the tip of Africa.

The new lighthouse has the most powerful light of all the lighthouses in South Africa, with a power of 10 megacandelas.  That's why it's being visible for up to 63 km around.

It's a very important lighthouse helping to conduct the traffic around dangerous waters where 2 oceans meet.

A boat heads north at 30 mph while a steamer heads east at 40 mph at the same time. When is the distance between them 50 mi? Ans
Reil [10]

Answer:

1 hour

Explanation:

Speed of the first boat = 30 mph

Speed of the second = 40 mph

The boats will cover different distances but the time taken will be the same.

Time taken by the boats = t

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance covered by the first boat = 30t

Distance covered by the second boat = 40t

Distance between the boats = 50 mi

From the Pythagoras theorem

\sqrt{(30t)^2+(40t)^2}=50\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{2500t^2}=50\\\Rightarrow 50t=50\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{50}{50}=1\ hour

Time taken by the boats when they are 50 mi away is 1 hour

What is the energy level of hydrogen?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

Explanation:

A scientist known as Niels Bohr put forward that electrons in an atom covers some permitted orbitals with a specific energy. In other words, the energy of an electron in an atom is not continuous, but 'quantized.' The energies corresponding to each of the allowed orbitals are called energy levels.

E = -\frac{E_0}{n^2} \\where \\E_0 = 13.6 eV (1 eV = 1.602\times 10^{-19}Joules)\\and\ n = 1,2,3...

A projectile is launched at ground level with an initial speed of 54.5 m/s at an angle of 35.0° above the horizontal. It strikes
Alchen [17]
<h2>Answer: x=125m, y=48.308m</h2>

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which we have two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations to find the position as follows:

x-component:

x=V_{o}cos\theta t   (1)

Where:

V_{o}=54.5m/s is the projectile's initial speed

\theta=35\° is the angle

t=2.80s is the time since the projectile is launched until it strikes the target

x  is the final horizontal position of the projectile (the value we want to find)

y-component:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}   (2)

Where:

y_{o}=0  is the initial height of the projectile (we are told it  was launched at ground level)

y  is the final height of the projectile (the value we want to find)

g=9.8m/s^{2}  is the acceleration due gravity

Having this clear, let's begin with x (1):

x=(54.5m/s)cos(35\°)(2.8s)   (3)

x=125m   (4)  This is the horizontal final position of the projectile

For y (2):

y=0+(54.5m/s)sin(35\°)(2.8s)-\frac{(9.8m/s^{2})(2.8s)^{2}}{2}   (5)

y=48.308m   (6)  This is the vertical final position of the projectile

When are you most aware of your motion in a moving vehicle: when it is moving steadily in a straight line or when it is accelera
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Acceleration is percieved, not constant velocity.

Explanation:

You are most aware when the vehicle is accelerating. At constant velocity you would not be aware of the motion. Only if the system is accelerated the dynamics must be solved considering a pseudo-force (of inertial origin) acting.

It's because of this that:

(A) False. The acceleration can be detected from the inside of a closed car.

(B) False. You would be aware of the motion, but not because humans can sense speed but acceleration.

(C) False. Constant velocity cannot be felt in a closed car.

(D) False. Again, you can't feel constant speed.

If chris throws a baseball 60 meters in 4 seconds, what is the average speed of the football?
IceJOKER [234]
The average speed of the football is 15 meters per second. Just divide both of the numbers by 4 :)
