. Egbert is in a rowboat four miles from the nearest point on Egbert a straight shoreline. He wishes to reach a house 12 miles f

arther down the shore. If Egbert can row at a rate of 3 mi/hr and walk at a rate of 4 mi/hr, find the least amount of time required to reach the house. How far from the house should he land the rowboat? Justify your answer.

Answer:

t=\frac{13}{3} =4.33\ mi.hr^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • Distance from the shore, s=4\ mi
  • distance of house from the shore, h=12\ mi
  • speed of rowing, v_r=3\ mi.hr^{-1}
  • speed of walking, v_w=4\ mi.hr^{-1}

<em>For the least amount of time to reach the house one must row at the nearest point on the shore and then walk from there.</em>

<u>Now the time taken to reach the shore:</u>

t_s=\frac{s}{v_s}

t_s=\frac{4}{3}\ mi.hr^{-1}

<u>Time taken in walking to house from the shore:</u>

t_h=\frac{h}{v_w}

t_h=\frac{12}{4}

t_h=\frac{12}{4}

t_h=3\ mi.hr^{-1}

<u>Therefore total time taken:</u>

t=t_h+t_s

t=\frac{13}{3} =4.33\ mi.hr^{-1}

The difference between Lincoln's plan of reconstruction and the Radical Republicans' is that Lincoln wanted to reunite the union
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The differences between the Lincoln, Johnson, and Congress Reconstruction plans include: Although both the Lincoln and Johnson plan were open to readmission of the southern States, Congress claimed that the two administrations were too lenient and sought stiffer punishment for the States

The aspect of Abraham Lincoln's plan for reconstruction in the South that made it differ from the plan of congressional leaders was that Lincoln's plan was more focused on helping the South rebuild than on punishing it and the Radical Republicans' reconstruction offered all kinds of new opportunities to African Americans, including the vote (for males), property ownership, education, legal rights, and even the possibility of holding political office. By the beginning of 1868, about 700,000 African Americans were registered voters.

Reconstruction encompassed three major initiatives:

1. restoration of the Union

2. transformation of southern society

3.enactment of progressive legislation favoring the rights of freed slaves

A parallel-plate capacitor has area A and plate separation d, and it is charged to voltage V. Use the formulas from the problem
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

Explanation:

Where C= capacitance of the capacitor

ε0= permittivity of free space

A= cross sectional area of plates

d= distance between the plates

V= potential difference

First, the capacitance of a capacitor is obtained by:

C = ε0A/d.

Starting at the formula , U= (CV^2)/2. Formula for energy stored in a capacitor

Substitute in for C:

U = (ε0A/d) * V^2 / 2

Hence:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d
