In order to tell a river lock attendant that you wish to go through the lock, you should <span>sound one prolonged blast followed by one short blast.
You should wait about 400 feet away from the lock and wait for the flashing light signal that allows you to enter.
Also note that </span><span>commercial traffic always have the first priority in entering the locks.</span>
Answer:
143
Explanation:
Using one of the 3 fundamental equations in physics, y=vo*t+1/2gt^2, we can use this equation to find the total distance that was traveled.
Acceleration due to gravity is always 9.8m/s^2 and time is 5.4s, we also have no initial velocity.
Given this, we can plug in the known variables.
y=0t+1/2*9.8*5^2
simplify,
y=4.9*5.4^2
y=4.9*29.16
y=142.884m which we can round up to 143 meters
Final Answer: 143 meters
The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
where m is the mass of the object and v its velocity.
The car in this problem has a mass of m=600 kg and a velocity of v=10 m/s, therefore if we put these numbers into the equation, we find the kinetic energy of the car:
D - An inland location, because land has lower specific heat than water
Explanation:
The specific heat is a measure of how much heat must be supplied to warm up a substance by a certain number of degrees.
Water has a much higher specific heat than land, so it takes much more heat energy to heat up a given mass of water compared to the land.
To say it another way, the specific heat of land is much less than that of water, so it doesn't take as much heat energy to warm up the land.
Thus, an inland location will be relatively warmer during summers.
