Answer:

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

Explanation:

given,

1  nautical mile = 6076 ft

1 knot = 1 nautical mile /hour

1 knot = 6076 ft/hr

speed of boat = 8 knots

 8 knots = 8 nautical mile /hour

               =8 \times \dfrac{6076\ ft}{1\nautical\ mile}\times \dfrac{1\ hour}{60\times 60\ s}

               = 13.50 ft/s

The speed of the boat is equal to 13.50 ft/s.

On a 100km track , a train travels the first 30km with a speed of 30km/h . How fast the train travel the next 70 km if the avera
nirvana33 [79]

Solution :-

Given :

Distance 1 = 30 km

Distance 2 = 70 km

We know that speed = distance/time

and, Average speed = total distance/total time taken

When the train acquired a speed of 30 km/hr, the time taken = 30/30 = 1 hour

Average speed = 9distance 1 + distance 2)/(time 1 + time 2)

AS time 2 or t2 is time taken for the second part of the journey of 70 km

⇒ 40 = 100/(1 + t2)

⇒ 40 + 40t2 = 100

⇒ 40t2 = 100 - 40

⇒ 40t2 = 60

⇒ t2 = 60/40

⇒ t2 = 1.5

So, t2 or time taken to travel the second part of the journey is 1.5 hours.

Speed of the second part of the journey = distance 2/time 2

⇒ 70/1.5

⇒ 46.666 km/hr or 46.7 km/hr.

Hence the answer is = 46.666 km/hr or 46.7 km/hr.

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!

g stAn experienced spear fisherman sees a small fish swimming in a tidal pool. If the fisherman sees the fish at approximately a
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

  θ = 28.9

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

where we use index 1 for air and index 2 for water where the fish is

        sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ₁

in this case the air repair index is 1 and the water 1.33

we substitute

        sin θ₂ = 1 / 1.33 sin t 40

        sin θ = 0.4833

         

        θ = sin⁻¹ 0.4833

        θ = 28.9

A jet aircraft is traveling at 262 m/s in hor-
NeTakaya

Solution :

Speed of the air craft, $S_a$ = 262 m/s

Fuel burns at the rate of, $S_b$ = 3.92 kg/s

Rate at which the engine takes in air, $S_{air}$ = 85.9 kg/s

Speed of the exhaust gas that are ejected relative to the aircraft, $S_{exh}$ =921 m/s

Therefore, the upward thrust of the jet engine is given by

$F=S_{air}(S_{exh}-S_a)+(S_b \times S_{exh})$

F = 85.9(921 - 262) + (3.92 x 921)

   = 4862635.79 + 3610.32

   = $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$

Therefore thrust of the jet engine is $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$.

Two sealed 1 l containers full of gas are at room temperature. Container a has a pressure of 4 atm and container b has a pressur
loris [4]

Answer:

The number density of the gas in container A is twice the number density of the gas in container B.

Explanation:

Here we have

P·V =n·R·T

n = P·V/(RT)

Therefore since V₁ = V₂ and T₁ = T₂

n₁ = P₁V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ = P₂V₂/(RT₂)

P₁ = 4 atm

P₂ = 2 atm

n₁ = 4V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ =2·V₁/(RT₁)

∴ n₁ = 2 × n₂

Therefore, the number of moles in container A is two times that in container B and the number density of the gas in container A is two times the number density in container B.

This can be shown based on the fact that the pressure  of the container is due to the collision of the gas molecules on the walls of the container, with a kinetic energy that is dependent on temperature and mass, and since the temperature is constant, then the mass of container B is twice that of A and therefore, the number density of container A is twice that of B.
