Suppose five boats are adrift at sea, each one containing a number of your relatives, and you have the power to save one boat fr

Answer:

one sister, one half-brother, and three cousins.

Explanation:

Kin selection theory also called inclusive fitness theory describes the self-sacrificial behaviour of organism, animal or individual to ensure survival of closely related family at the detriment of the individual's survival in order to preserve genetic fitness or survival and reproductive success of such individual. Therefore saving one sister, one half-brother, and three cousins will preserve the genetic lineage and reproductive success of the genome of interest

A fully loaded, slow-moving freight elevator has a cab with a total mass of 1250 kg, which is required to travel upward 49 m in
insens350 [35]

Answer:

659.01W

Explanation:

The cab has a mass of 1250 kg, the weight of the cab represented by Wc will be

Wc = mass of the cab × acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Wc = 1250 × 9.81 = 12262.5 N

but the counter weight of the elevator represented by We = mass × acceleration due to gravity = 995 × 9.81 = 9760.95 N

Net weight = weight of the cab - counter weight of the elevator = Wc - We = 12262.5 - 9760.95 = 2501.55 N

the motor of the elevator will have to provide this in form of work

work done by the elevator to lift the cab to height of 49 m = net weight × distance (height) = 2501.55 × 49m

power provided by the motor of the elevator = workdone by the motor / time in seconds

Power = (2501.55 × 49) ÷ ( 3.1 × 60 seconds) = 659.01 W

Which of the following is the best definition of gravity?
IRISSAK [1]

In physics, gravity is the natural force that causes things to fall toward the earth. The noun gravity can also mean seriousness or solemnity. Someone who conducts themselves with an air of gravity is someone who takes what they are doing seriously.

A 2 kg blue car is moving 6 m/s to the right and collides with a 3 kg red car that is moving 2 m/s to the left. The cars collide
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the blue car, m₁ = 2 kg

initial velocity of the blue car, u₁ = 6 m/s

mass of the red car, m₂ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the red car, u₂ = 2 m/s

let the blue car moving to the right be in positive direction

also, let the red car moving to the left be in negative direction

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁ - m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is their velocity after the collision

(2 x 6) - (3 x 2) = v(2 + 3)

12 - 6 = 5v

6 = 5v

v = 6/5

v = 1.2 m/s, to the right

Therefore, their velocity after the collision is 1.2 m/s, to the right.

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 80.5 N, Jill pulls with 81.7 N in the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

F = 233.52 N,  θ' = 351.41º

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the net force applied on the donkey.

For this we use Newton's second law, where we create a reference frame with the horizontal x axis

let's decompose the forces

Jack

        = 80.5 N

Jill

       cos 45 = F_{2x} / F₂2

       sin 45 = F_{2y} / F₂2

       F_{2x} = F₂ cos 45

       F_{2y} = F₂ sin 45

       F_{2x} = 81.7 cos 45 = 57.77 N

       F_{2y} = 81.7 sin 45 = 57.77 N

Jane

      cos (270 + 45) = F_{3x} / F₃3

      sin 315 = F_{3y} / F₃

      F_{3x} = 131 cos 315 = 92.63 N

      F_{3y} = 131 sin 315 = -92.63 N

the force can be found in each axis

X axis

         F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x}

         F_{x} = 80.5 +57.77 + 92.63

         F_{x} = 230.9 N

Axis y

         F_{y} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} + F_{3y}

         F_{y} = 0 + 57.77 -92.63

         F_{y} = -34.86 N

we can give the result in two ways

a) F = (230.9 i ^ - 34.86 j ^) N

b) in the form of module and angle

we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = √(Fₓ² + F_{y}²

        F = √(230.9² + 34.86²)

        F = 233.52 N

let's use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = \frac{F_y}{F_x} }

        θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{F_y}{F_x} })

        θ = tan⁻¹ (-34.86 / 230.9)

        θ = -8.59º

if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x-axis counterclockwise

          θ' = 360 -θ

          θ‘= 360- 8.59

          θ' = 351.41º
