<h2>It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial speed, u = 34 ft/s = 10.36 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = Final height - Initial height = 8 - 4 = 4 ft = 1.22 m

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

              s = ut + 0.5 at²

              1.22 = 10.36 x t + 0.5 x -9.81 x t²

              4.905t² - 10.36 t + 1.22 = 0

              t = 1.99 s     or    t = 0.125 seconds

Minimum time is 0.125 seconds.

It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.

That kind of depends on where the ship is now, and where it wants to go.
We learn these kinds of things in navigation school, and I'll just bet that
it's the kind of information that's right there in the part of the question
that you didn't bother copying.

Answer:

20 N exerts no torque about the pivot.

14 N exerts a counterclockwise torque of 14 * .3 = .42 N-m

6  exerts a clockwise torque of 6 * .7 = .42 N-m

The meter stick will not turn because there is no net torque on the meter stick.

EXAMPLE
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The volume of blood flowing per second throughout the vessel is constant .

a₁ v₁ = a₂ v₂

a₁ and a₂ are cross sectional area at two places of vessel and v₁ and v₂ are velocity of blood at these places .

2A x v₁ = A x .40

v₁ = .20 m /s

b )

Let normal pressure be P₁ when cross sectional area is 2A and at cross sectional area A , pressure is P₂

Applying Bernoulli's theorem

P₁ + 1/2 ρv₁² = P₂ + 1/2 ρv₂²

P₁ - P₂ = 1/2  ρ(v₂² - v₁² )

= .5 x 1060 ( .4² - .2² )

= 63.6 Pa .
