Answer:

11 m/s south

Explanation:

The velocity of the passenger relative to the river bank is equal to the velocity of the passenger relative to the ferry, plus the velocity of the ferry relative to the river, plus the velocity of the river relative to the river bank.

v_passenger,bank = v_passenger,ferry + v_ferry,river + v_river,bank

If we take north to be positive and south to be negative:

v = 1.0 m/s + (-10 m/s) + (-2 m/s)

v = -11 m/s

v = 11 m/s south

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D. the amount of chemical energy equals the amount of heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Given that the first law of thermodynamics affirmed that energy is neither created nor destroyed however, it can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, while, during the transformation of energy, no energy is lost, the input energy is also equal to output energy.

Hence, the chemical energy stored in the log is EQUAL to the heat and light energy produced by burning.

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2,000 kg car possessing 3,000 kg(*)m/s of momentum?

Trava [24]

The magnitude of velocity for this car is equal to 1.5 m/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Momentum of car = 3,000 kgm/s.

Mass of car = 2,000 kg.

To calculate the magnitude of velocity for this car:

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

In Science, momentum simply means a multiplication of the mass of an object and its velocity.

Mathematically, momentum is giving by the formula;

$Momentum = mass \times velocity$

Making velocity the subject of formula, we have:

$Velocity=\frac{Momentum}{Mass}$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$Velocity=\frac{3000}{2000}$

Velocity = 1.5 m/s.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

2) deflection must be towards the negative side of the voltage.

4) the correct statements are: b and c

Explanation:

2) This question is based on Faraday's law of induction, when we introduce a magnet in a solenoid an induced current is produced that generates a voltage that is given by

E = - N d $\phi_{B}$ / dt

where $\phi_{B}$ = B. A

The bold are vectors

Therefore, when applying this formula to our case, the induction lines of the magnetic field increase as we approach the solenoid, as the South pole approaches the lines are in the direction of the magnet, therefore the normal to the solenoid that has an outgoing direction and the magnetic field has 180º between them and the cos 180 = -1; consequently the deflection must be towards the negative side of the voltage.

4) From the Faraday equation we can see that the inductive electromotive force depends

* The magnitude of B that changes over time

* The area of the loop that changes over time

* The angle between B and the area that changes over time

* A combination of the above

With this analysis we will review the different alternatives given

a) False. It takes a temporary change and an absolute value of B

b) True. As the speed decreases, the change in B decreases, that is, dB / dt decreases

c) True. The current is induced in each turn, if there is a smaller number the total current will be smaller

d) False. A temporary change of area is needed, in addition to increasing the area the current increases

We can see that the correct statements are: b and c
