A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried down-stream by a current that flows uniformly with a speed of 2.20 m/s

. The child is 500 m from the shore and 1100 m upstream of the boat dock from which the rescue team sets out.
If their boat speed is 7.30 m/s with respect to the water, at what angle from the shore must the boat travel in order to reach the child?

Answer:

The angle is 65.6°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 2.20 m/s

Distance from the shore= 500 m

Distance from the bottom= 1100 m

Speed of boat = 7.30 m/s

According to figure,

We need to calculate the angle with shore

Using formula of angle

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}

Put the value into the formula

\tan\theta=\dfrac{500}{1100}

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{500}{1100})

\theta=24.4^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle

\alpha=90-\theta

Put the value into the formula

\alpha=90-24.4

\alpha=65.6^{\circ}

Hence, The angle is 65.6°.

Point charges q1=+2.00μC and q2=−2.00μC are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 5.00 cm
mihalych1998 [28]

Point charges q1=+2.00μC and q2=−2.00μC are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 5.00 cm.?

Point a is at the center of the square, and point b is at the empty corner closest to q2. Take the electric potential to be zero at a distance far from both charges.  

(a) What is the electric potential at point a due to q1 and q2?  

(b) What is the electric potential at point b?

(c) A point charge q3 = -6.00 μC moves from point a to point b. How much work is done on q3 by the electric forces exerted by q1 and q2?

Answer:

a) the potential is zero at the center .

Explanation:

a) since the two equal-magnitude and oppositely charged particles are equidistant

b)(b) Electric potential at point b, v = Σ kQ/r

r = 5cm = 0.05m

k = 8.99*10^9 N·m²/C²

Q = -2 microcoulomb

v= (8.99*10^9) * (2*10^-6) * (1/√2m - 1) / 0.0500m

v =  -105 324 V

c)workdone = charge * potential

work = -6.00µC * -105324V

work = 0.632 J

Please Help!!!!!! What is the acceleration of a car between 2 and 5 seconds? Hint: Acceleration is a change in speed and directi
Ghella [55]

Answer : B.  0 m/s∧2

Now we know that velocity = distance/ time

And acceleration = velocity/time.


From the graph we see that at the time interval 2 secs,the distance travelled is 10 m. Hence the velocity(v1) =10/2 = 5m/s.

From the graph we see that at the time interval 5 secs,the distance travelled is 25 m. Hence the velocity (v2) =25/5 = 5m/s.

Now acceleceration between the time interval of 2 ad 5 secs is calculated as

(v1-v2)/t2-t1 = (5-5)/(5-2) = 0 m/s∧2

Calculate ideal work (in J) when a single stream of 1 mole of air is heated and expanded from 25 C and 1 bar to 100 C and 0.5 ba
NISA [10]

Answer:

-1786.5J

Explanation:

Temperature 1=T1=25°c

Temperature 2=T2=200°c

Pressure P1=1bar

Pressure P2=0.5bars

T=37°c+273=310k

Note number if moles=1

Recall work done =2.3026RTlogp2/P1

2.3026*8.314*310log(0.5/1)

-1786.5J

If there is no oxygen in outer space, and, at the same time, oxygen must be present for fire, where does the sun come from?​
victus00 [196]

The sun is a huge ball of gas held together by gravity.

It does not burn the way wood does, due to oxygen, but it gets energy by a process called nuclear fusion, where Hydrogen is converted to Helium.

The sun will cease to "burn" when it runs out of Hydrogen, but that has a long way to go.
