. 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}

A 3.00-kg object has a velocity 1 6.00 i ^ 2 2.00 j ^2 m/s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at this moment? (b) what is the net w
tatyana61 [14]
(a) The velocity of the object on the x-axis is 6 m/s, while on the y-axis is 2 m/s, so the magnitude of its velocity is the resultant of the velocities on the two axes:
v= \sqrt{(6.00m/s)^2+(2.00 m/s)^2}=6.32 m/s
And so, the kinetic energy of the object is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(6.32 m/s)^2=60 J

(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is
v= \sqrt{(8.00 m/s)^2+(4.00 m/s)^2}=8.94 m/s
And so the new kinetic energy is
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(8.94 m/s)^2=120 J

So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
W=\Delta K=120 J-60 J=60 J

If 35 J of work was performed in 70 seconds, how much power was used to do this task?
Irina18 [472]
P = w \times delta \: T
P = Power
W = Work
Delta T = Change of Time

So:
P = 35 Joules
Delta T = 70 secs
W = ?

P = 35 \div 70 \\ P = 0.5 \: watts

* Joule/Sec = Watt

Answer: The power used to do this task was 0.5 Watts.

Rosa uses the formula (vi¡cosθ)tΔ to do a calculation. Which value is Rosa most likely trying to find?
andriy [413]
To break this problem down, let's start with what we know. The equation given finds one component of the velocity and multiplies it by the change in time. This will not find the acceleration that the first two answers say it will, meaning that the answer isn't A or B.

That leaves us with the final two answers, C and D. If the projectile was launched horizontally and we were trying to find the horizontal displacement, we wouldn't need to use cosθ to find the horizontal velocity, meaning that our answer is most likely C) <span>the horizontal displacement of a projectile launched at an angle!</span><span />

How does the digestive system interact with the following organ systems (circulatory, muscular and nervous system) to maintain h
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The circulatory system breaks down food and gets / absorbs nutrients. The muscular system works to get nutrients to the rest of the body. The nervous system basically controls the digestive system and sends information to the brain.

I'm pretty sure I'm right, but please correct me if I'm wrong! :)

A ski lift has a one-way length of 1 km and a vertical rise of 200 m. The chairs are spaced 20 m apart, and each chair can seat
RSB [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question states that the chairs are spaced 20 m apart through a length of 1 km, or say, 1000 m.

It also does say that each chair weighs 250 kg, and as such the load is

M = 50 * 250

M = 12500.

Taking into consideration, the initial and final heights, we have

h1 = 0, h2 = 200 m

The work needed to raise the chairs,

W = mgh, where h = h2 - h1

W = 12500 * 9.81 * (200 - 0)

W = 2.54*10^7 J

The work is done at a rate of 10 km/h, and at a distance of 1 km, time taken would be

t = 1/10 = 0.1 h or say, 360 s

The power needed thus, is

P = W/t

P = 2.54*10^7 / 360

P = 68125 W, or 68 kW

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Final velocity, v = 10 km/h = 2.78 m/s

Startup time, t is 17 s

Acceleration during the startup then is

a = (v - u)/t

a = 2.78/17

a = 0.163 m/s²

The power needed for the acceleration is

P = ½m [(v² - u²)/t]

P = ½ * 12500 * [2.78²/17]

P = 6250 * 0.455

P = 2844 W
