The current in a river is 1.0 meters/second. Britney swims 300 meters against the current. If she normally swims with a speed of

2.0 meters/second in still water, how long does it take her to complete the trip?

Answer:

t = 300 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the current in the river, $v_1=1\ m/s$

Distance covered by Britney, d = 300 m

Speed of Britney, $v_2=2\ m/s$

It is mentioned that Britney swims against the current. Her downstream speed is given by :

$v=v_2-v_1$

$v=2-1$

v = 1 m/s

Let t is the time taken by her to complete her trip. t is given by :

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{300\ m}{1\ m/s}$

t = 300 seconds

So, the time taken by her the complete her trip is 300 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A girl stands on the edge of a merry-go-round of radius 1.71 m. If the merry go round uniformly accerlerates from rest to 20 rpm

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$a = 0.53 m/s^2$

Explanation:

initially the merry go round is at rest

after 6.73 s the merry go round will accelerates to 20 rpm

so final angular speed is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi ( \frac{20}{60})$

$\omega = 2.10 rad/s$

so final tangential speed is given as

$v = r\omega$

$v = 1.71 (2.10) = 3.58 m/s$

now average acceleration of the girl is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}$

$a = \frac{3.58 - 0}{6.73}$

$a = 0.53 m/s^2$

What form of matter is vapor?

katrin [286]

The form of matter that is vapor is a gas made of a substance that is usually liquid.
Vapor is created when water, or some other liquid evaporates - meaning that it becomes so hot in a room, or wherever, that the liquid starts becoming gas.

A stone on ground is zero energy

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

A stone on the ground does not have zero energy…there is an internal potential in every object. Aldo is not in action or in any mechanical motion it is being acted upon by gravity and also molecular forces and energy.

What is pressure in physics

harkovskaia [24]

Pressure is the force per unit area. This means that the pressure a solid object exerts on another solid surface is its weight in newton’s divided by its area in square metres

A 0.11 N m torque is applied to a fan that was initially at rest. The fan has moment of inertia of 0.034 kg m2. Determine the ki

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

2.72*10-3 Joules

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

$\tau=I*\alpha$

given

$\tau= 0.11Nm\\\\I=0.034kgm^2\\\\t= 8s\\\\\alpha=?$

$\alpha =0.11/0.034\\\\\alpha=3.23 rad/s^2$

the angular velocity is

$\omega = \alpha/t\\\\\omega =3.23/8\\\\\omega =0.4 rad/s$

$KE= 1/2*I* \omega^2$

$KE=1/2*0.034*0.4^2\\\\KE=1/2*0.034*0.16\\\\KE=0.00272\\\\KE=2.72*10^-3J$
