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

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

A tennis player used a tennis racket to hit a tennis ball with a mass of 0.25 kg with a force of 5.25 Newtons.

The correct answer is A because
for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs.

Un movil aumenta su velocidad de 10m/s a 20m/s acelerando uniformemente a razon de 5m/s2 ¿que distancia logro en dicha operacion
Kruka [31]

v₀ = initial velocity of the mobile = 10 m/s

v = final velocity of the mobile = 20 m/s

a = acceleration of the mobile = 5 m/s²

d = distance traveled during this operation = ?

Using the kinematics equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 a d

inserting the above values in the equation

20² = 10² + 2 (5) d

400 = 100 + 10 d

subtracting 100 both side

400 - 100 = 100 - 100 + 10 d

300 = 10 d

dividing both side by 10

300/10 = 10 d/10

d = 30 m

hence mobile travels 30 m.

An object moves in uniform circular motion at 25 m/s and takes 1.0 second to go a quarter circle. What is the radius of the circ
FromTheMoon [43]
Object Motion: 25 m/s

Circumference of Circle: 
1/4 Circumference of Circle in 1 second = 25 meters
25 meters times 4 = Circumference of Circle 
Circumference = 100 meters

Formula to Find Circumference of Circle: (work opposite)
C = 2<span>πr

100 = </span>2πr          divided
100/2π = r         simplify
50/π = r         (exact radius)

Answer:
50/π meters = r         (exact radius)
