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.

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. The athlete is able to rotate the ball at the
nydimaria [60]

Answer: a) the greater speed for the ball is getting with the large radius of the circle. b) 1.68* 10 ^3 m/s^2 c) 1.25*10^3 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to solve this problem firstly we have to consider that speed in a of the circular movement is directly the angular rotation multiply the radius of the circle so by this we found that the second radius get large speed.

Secondly to calculate the centripetal acceleration for the ball we have to considerer the relationship given by:

acceleration in a circular movement= ω^2*r

so

a1= (8.44 *2*π)^2*r1=1.68 *10^3 m/s^2

a2= (5.95*2*π)^2*r2=1.25*10^3  m/s^2

Your current exam mean is 97.2. if you receive a 99 on the next exam, this will have the effect of ______.
GarryVolchara [31]

If your current exam mean is 97.2. and you receive a 99 on the next exam, then this will have the effect of increasing the mean.

<h3>What is the mean?</h3>

In statistics, the mean is an average value used to calculate when taking different measurements, which can be fundamental to collecting statistically significant information.

In conclusion, if your current exam mean is 97.2. and you receive a 99 on the next exam, then this will have the effect of increasing the mean.

Which is the result of using a machine?
Eddi Din [679]
Correct Answers is A.

The machines gives us some mechanical advantage. This means the mechanical average makes the work output greater than the work input
Simple most example is a lever. The force applied is smaller and the output work is larger as compared to input.

Option B cannot be true, as there must be a force to get some work done.
Option C and D are inverse of what a machine is designed for. A small force can be exerted through a large distance to have a large force exerted through a small distance. Common Example of this principle is a screw opener.
