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.

A bottle dropped from a balloon reaches the ground in 20 s. determine the height of the balloon if (a) it was at rest in the air
romanna [79]
<span>a) 1960 m b) 960 m Assumptions. 1. Ignore air resistance. 2. Gravity is 9.80 m/s^2 For the situation where the balloon was stationary, the equation for the distance the bottle fell is d = 1/2 AT^2 d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 d = 4.9 * 400 m d = 1960 m For situation b, the equation is quite similar except we need to account for the initial velocity of the bottle. We can either assume that the acceleration for gravity is negative, or that the initial velocity is negative. We just need to make certain that the two effects (falling due to acceleration from gravity) and (climbing due to initial acceleration) counteract each other. So the formula becomes d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50 m/s * T d = 1/2 9.80 m/s^2 (20s)^2 - 50m/s *20s d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 400 s^2 - 1000 m d = 4.9 * 400 m - 1000 m d = 1960 m - 1000 m d = 960 m</span>

A current of 2 A flows through a resistor. The voltage across the resistor is 18 V.
stepan [7]

Answer:

R=9\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 2 A

Voltage across the resistor, V = 18 V

We need to find the value of resistance of the resistor. Let the resistance be R. We can find it using Ohm's law i.e.

V = IR

Where

R is the resistance of the resistor

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{18}{2}\\\\R=9\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the resistor is equal to 9\ \Omega.

How do the groups of the periodic table correspond
hichkok12 [17]
They correspond due to the fact that certain elements are grouped together based on the number of valence electrons on the outer shell of their electron configuration. 
For instance, sulfur (S) has 6 electrons in the outer shell, as it is in the 6th group EXCLUDING transition metals (note, never take these into account, as their charge is always +2; a cation)
