You are in a speedboat on a river moving in the same direction as the current. The speedometer on the boat shows that its speed

is 20 km/h. However, a person on the shore measures the boat's speed as 23 km/h. How is this possible?

From the reference point of the river, the speed of the boat is 20 km/h. From the reference point of someone standing on the shore, the speed of the boat is the speed on the speedometer plus the downstream speed of the current.

An airplane flying at a speed of 130 mi/h (58.1 m/s) and at an altitude of 4.9 km drops a food package. Without a parachute, at
telo118 [61]

The food package will strike the ground at 11 degrees below the horizontal.

<h3>Time for the food package to hit the ground</h3>

The time for the food package to hit the ground is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

<em>let the initial velocity be horizontal</em>

4900 = 0(t) + (0.5 x 9.8)t²

4900 = 4.9t²

t² = 4900/4.9

t² = 1,000

t = √1,000

t = 31.62 s

<h3> Final speed of the food package when it hits ground</h3>

vf(y) = vo + gt

vf(y) = 0 + (31.62 x 9.8)

vf(y) = 309.88 m/s

<h3>Angle of projection</h3>

The horizontal component of the speed will be constant, while vertical component will change

tan(\theta ) = \frac{V_y}{V_x} \\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{V_y}{V_x})\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{309.88}{58.1} )\\\\\theta = 79^0

Angle below the horizontal = 90 - 79 = 11⁰

Thus, the food package will strike the ground at 11 degrees below the horizontal.

The net force experienced by an object is increased. What affect does this have on the acceleration of the object?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

In science work is defined as
Artist 52 [7]

According to the Jefferson lab, "The scientific definition of work is: using a force to move an object a distance (when both the force and the motion of the object are in the same direction.)"

How much heat energy is produced by 0.5 Wh of electrical energy ?
babymother [125]
1.7 Btu

1 watt = 3.41214 Btu/h

1watt * 1h = 3.41214 Btu/h * h

1 = 3.41214 Btu/ (watt*h)/

0.5 watt * h = 0.5 watt*h * 3.41214 Btu/(watt*h) = 1.706 Btu
