Answer:

A)t=<u>1.375s</u>

B)t=11s

Explanation:

for this problem we will assume that the east is positive while the west is negative, what we must do is find the relative speed between the wave and the powerboat, and then with the distance find the time for each case

ecuations

V=Vw-Vp  (1)

V= relative speed

Vw= speed of wave

Vp=Speesd

t=X/V(2)

t=time

x=distance=44m

A) the powerboat moves to west

V=18-(-14)=32m/s

t=44/32=<u>1.375s</u>

B)the powerboat moves to east

V=18-14=4

t=44/4=<u>11s</u>

A 1569 kg car moves with a velocity of 15 m/s. What is its kinetic energy? Joules
Crank
Kinetic energy = 1/2 * mass * velocity^2

In this case,
KE = 1/2 * 1569 kg * (15 (m/s))^2 = 176,5 kN

A truck is traveling at 2.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 3.00 s. How far does the car travel during those 3.0
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.

Explanation:

The simple rule of three is a tool that is used to quickly solve problems, where three pieces of information must be known, and one of them operates as an unknown to be known.

Two magnitudes are directly proportional if one magnitude increases the other also does it, and if the magnitude decreases the other in the same way.

Being a, b and c known data and x the unknown, the value that we want to know, the rule of three when the magnitudes are directly proportional is applied as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

In this case, knowing that a truck travels at 2 m/s, the rule of three applies as follows: if in 1 second the truck travels 2 m, in 3 seconds how much distance does it travel?

distance=\frac{3 s*2 m}{1 s}

distance= 6 m

<u><em> During those 3.00 seconds before stopping, the car travels a distance of 6 m.</em></u>

What is the diurnal motion of the stars
OlgaM077 [116]
The answer is shown below:

 "The diurnal motion" of the stars is defined as the apparent daily motion of stars around the Earth.  The cause for this "apparent motion of stars" was proposed by Heraclides (who was a Greek philosopher and astronomer). He afirmed that  this was created by the Earth's rotation on its axis, which is completed in 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds.
