Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. boat a goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. boat

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Explanation:

Case 1: Boat 1

Speed of boat = $\frac{distance of river}{time}$

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

While going to another end

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{48}$

time = 1 hour

While going back,

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{48}$

time = 1 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.

Case 2: Boat 2

Speed of boat = $\frac{distance of river}{time}$

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

While going to another end

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{24}$

time = 2 hour

While going back,

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{72}$

time = 0.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

What is the mass moment of inertia of a 20kg sphere with a radius of 0.2m about a point on the sphere's perimeter

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).

The moment of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.

By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2

I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2

Why is it important that radioisotopes used in diagnostic tests have short half-lives? 20 A) These radioisotopes have a greater

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Option B) This minimizes the harmful side effects of the radiations

Explanation:

Half-life is the time taken for the decay of an radio-active atom in which it disintegrates such that it becomes half of its value at the beginning.... The nuclei should be in active mode for a longer duration sufficient for the treatment of the condition but these nuclei should have a sufficient shorter half life so that they don't get enough time to cause any damage to the health of the person other than treating the cause.

A shorter half life gives the assurance that the radiation after the treatment will leave the body without getting accumulated and cause harm to the body cells and other organs.

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.

For a certain optical medium the speed of light varies from a low value of 1.90 × 10 8 m/s for violet light to a high value of 2

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a. The refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56

b. 18.7° for violet light and 19.5° for red light.

c. 33.7° for violet light and 35.3° for red light.

Explanation:

a. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the object.

Mathematically,

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

The speed of violet light in the object is $1.9 * 10^8 m/s$ .

The speed of red light in the object is $2 * 10^8 m/s$

Hence, the refractive index for violet light is:

$n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{1.9 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.56$

and for red light, it is:

$n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{2 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.5$

Hence, the refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56.

b. The refractive index is also the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction.

$n = \frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)}$

The angle of incidence is 30°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

$1.56 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.56} = \frac{0.5}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3205\\\\r = 18.7^o$

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

$1.5 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.5} = \frac{0.5}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3333\\\\r = 19.5^o$

The angle of refraction for red light is larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 30°.

c. The angle of incidence is 60°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

$1.56 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.56} = \frac{0.8660}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5551\\\\r = 33.7^o$

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

$1.5 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.5} = \frac{0.8660}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5773\\\\r = 35.3^o$

The angle of refraction for red light is still larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 60°.
