Danny lowers the sails on his boat. He paddles upstream at 19 km/hr. The current is still running downstream at 15 km/hr. What i

s the actual velocity of the boat?

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction

How would you go about separating the components of a mixture of sand, gravel, salt and iron filings
larisa86 [58]

Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s^2. What length of pendulum has a period of 1.0 s on Earth? What length of pendulum
NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Free fall acceleration on mars g_{m}=3.7\ m/s^2

Time Period of pendulum on earth T=1\ s

Time period of Pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

for earth

1=2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}

L=\frac{9.8}{(2\pi )^2}

L=0.498\ m

(b)For same time period on mars length is given by

L'=\frac{g_m}{(2\pi )^2}

L'=\frac{3.7}{39.48}

L'=0.0936\ m

L'=9.36\ cm

A baseball pitcher throws a ball horizontally at a speed of 34.0 m/s. A catcher is 18.6 m away from the pitcher. Find the magnit
Sidana [21]

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the description of the movement through the kinematic trajectory equations, which include displacement, velocity and acceleration.

The trajectory equation from the motion kinematic equations is given by

y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0

Where,

a = acceleration

t = time

v_0 = Initial velocity

y_0 = initial position

In addition to this we know that speed, speed is the change of position in relation to time. So

v = \frac{x}{t}

x = Displacement

t = time

With the data we have we can find the time as well

v = \frac{x}{t}

t = \frac{x}{v}

t = \frac{18.6}{34}

t = 0.547s

With the equation of motion and considering that we have no initial position, that the initial velocity is also zero then and that the acceleration is gravity,

y = \frac{1}{2} at^2+v_0t+y_0

y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2+0+0

y = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

y = \frac{1}{2} 9.8*0.547^2

y = 1.46m

Therefore the vertical distance that the ball drops as it moves from the pitcher to the catcher is 1.46m.

A metal block has a density of 5000 kg per cubic meter and a mass of 15,000 kg. What is its volume?
Naily [24]

Taking into account the definition of density, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.

<h3>What is density</h3>

Density is defined as the property that matter, whether solid, liquid or gas, has to compress into a given space.

In other words, density is a quantity that allows us to measure the amount of mass in a certain volume of a substance.

Then, the expression for the calculation of density is the quotient between the mass of a body and the volume it occupies:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

From this expression it can be deduced that density is inversely proportional to volume: the smaller the volume occupied by a given mass, the higher the density.

<h3>Volume of the metal block</h3>

In this case, you know that:

  • Density= 5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }
  • Mass= 15000 kg
  • Volume= ?

Replacing in the definition of density:

5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} } =\frac{15000 kg}{volume}

Solving:

volume×5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }= 15000 kg

volume= \frac{15000 kg}{5000 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }}

<u><em>volume= 3 m³</em></u>

In summary, the volume of the metal block is 3 m³.
