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 certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.15 × 1014 hz. what is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
Ket [755]
The energy carried by a single photon of frequency f is given by:
E=hf
where h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} m^2 kg s^{-1} is the Planck constant. In our problem, the frequency of the photon is f=7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, and by using these numbers we can find the energy of the photon:
E=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34}m^2 kg s^{-1})(7.15 \cdot 10^{14}Hz)=4.7 \cdot 10^{-19}J

Skin is the main barrier between internal organs and the outside environment. The outer layer of skin is composed mostly of epit
vagabundo [1.1K]
The characteristic of epithelial cells that makes them ideal for providing this type of protection is that the cells are packed tightly together. 
Skin, the body's largest organ,is our first and best defense against external aggressors. The many layers work hard to protect us, however when its condition is compromised, its ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired.

A 2.00-m rod of negligible mass connects two very small objects at its ends. The mass of one object is 1.00 kg and the mass of t
8090 [49]

Answer:

<h2> 4kg</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

length of rod=2m

mass of object 1 m1=1kg

let the unknown mass be x

center of mass<em> c.m</em>= 1.6m

hence 1kg is 1.6m from the <em>c.m</em>

and x is 0.4m from the <em>c.m</em>

Taking moment about the <em>c.m</em>

<em>clockwise moment equals anticlockwise moments</em>

1*1.6=x*0.4

1.6=0.4x

divide both sides by 0.4 we have

x=1.6/0.4

x=4kg

The mass of the other object is 4kg

Strzała o masie 20g tuz po wystrzale ma prędkość 50m/s. Oblicz pracę wykonana przez zawodniczkę. Ile wynosi energia potencjalna
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Explanation:

masie m = 20g = 20/1000 = 0.02kg

prędkość v = 50m/s

P.E = K.E = ½mv²

P.E = ½ × 0.02 × 50²

P.E = 25 J

pracę wykonana = P.E = 25J
