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°.

The average intensity of sunlight at the top of the earth's atmosphere in 1390 w/m2. what is the maximum energy that a 34-m x 46
slavikrds [6]
Panel surface area =34m×46m=1,564m^2
total power =1564m^2×1390w/m^2
=2173960watts
now you must calculate total energy.
Energy = power×Time
However time must be in seconds so we multiply 2hrs×60min×60s=7200seconds
7200s×2173960w =15,652,512,000 joules of energy

A 30 ohm resistor and a 20 ohm resistor are
Reptile [31]

The current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor is 2 A.

<h3>What is electric current?</h3>

Electric current is the rate of flow of electric charge round a conductor.

To calculate the electric current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor, we use the formula below

Formula:

  • I = V/Rt........... Equation 1

Where:

  • I = Electric current passing through the 30 ohms resistor
  • V = Voltage
  • Rt = Total or effective resistance of the resistors.

From the question,

Given:

  • V = 100 volts
  • Rt = (30+20) ohms (since both resistors are connected in series)
  • Rt = 50 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • I = 100/50
  • I = 2 A

Hence, The current that would pass through the 30 ohms resistor is 2 A.

What is latent heat of fusion?
Naddik [55]

If you have a lump of solid at its melting point ... like ice at 32°F ...
you have to put a certain amount of heat into it just to change it
to water at 32°F.  That amount of heat, that's used just to change
a solid lump into liquid without changing its temperature, is called
the heat of fusion for that substance.

The number is different for every substance.

For water, it takes 336 joules of heat to melt 1 gram of ice
into 1 gram of water, all at 32°F (0°C).
That's an enormous latent heat of fusion ... more than almost any
other known substance.  That's why ice is such a good choice
when you need something to put in your drink to cool it down.
Ice absorbs a huge amount of heat before it melts and the drink
gets watered down.
