Answer:

The boat's velocity relative to Earth is 3.91 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

speed of ferry due north, V_y = 2.5 m/s

speed of the river to the east, V_x = 3.0 m/s

The boat's velocity relative to Earth is given by;

V = \sqrt{V_x^2 + V_y^2} \\\\V = \sqrt{(3)^2+(2.5)^2}\\\\V = 3.91 \ m/s

Therefore, the boat's velocity relative to Earth is 3.91 m/s.

Nostrana [21]

Answer: Part 1: Propellant Fraction (MR) = 8.76

Part 2: Propellant Fraction (MR) = 1.63

Explanation: The Ideal Rocket Equation is given by:

Δv = v_{ex}.ln(\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}} )

Where:

v_{ex} is relationship between exhaust velocity and specific impulse

\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}} is the porpellant fraction, also written as MR.

The relationship v_{ex} is: v_{ex} = g_{0}.Isp

To determine the fraction:

Δv = v_{ex}.ln(\frac{m_{f}}{m_{e}} )

ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}

Knowing that change in velocity is Δv = 9.6km/s and g_{0} = 9.81m/s²

<u>Note:</u> Velocity and gravity have different measures, so to cancel them out, transform km in m by multiplying velocity by 10³.

<u />

<u>Part 1</u>: Isp = 450s

ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}

ln(MR) = \frac{9.6.10^{3}}{9.81.450}

ln (MR) = 2.17

MR = e^{2.17}

MR = 8.76

<u>Part 2:</u> Isp = 2000s

ln(MR) = \frac{v}{v_{ex}}

ln (MR) = \frac{9.6.10^{3}}{9.81.2.10^{3}}

ln (MR) = 0.49

MR = e^{0.49}

MR = 1.63

stira [4]

Answer:

a)  h / h₀ = 1,682

, b) h / h₀ = 1.11

, c)    h / h₀ = 2.07

Explanation:

For this exercise let's look for the growth equation, as they indicate that it is exponential

        h = h₀ e^{\alpha t}

The initial height is 9 ”, so the constant

         h₀ = 9”

Let's use the given values

       h = 15.1655”

       t = 5 days

       h / h₀ = e^{\alpha t}

      α = 1 / t ln h / h₀

       α = 1/5 ln (15.1655 / 9)

      α = 0.104

       h = 9 e^{0.104 t}

a) the growth factor is the relationship between the initial value and the current value

        h / h₀ = e^{0.104  5}

        h / h₀ = 1,682

b) for t = 1 day

       h / h₀ = e^{0.104 1}

       h / h₀ = 1.11

c) for t = 7 days

       h / h₀ = e^{0.104 7}

       h / h₀ = 2.07

A truck initially traveling at 20m/s decelerated at 1.50m/s2. Find (a) how long it takes to stop (b) how far it moves in that ti
finlep [7]

vf² = vi² + 2ad

vf = vi +at

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

decelerated = a = - (negative)

a. stop ⇒ vf = 0

vf = vi+at

0 = 20 - 1.5t

1.5t=20

t = 13.3 s

b. vi = 20 m/s

0 = 20² - 1.5d

1.5d = 20²

1.5d = 400

d =266.67 m

c. d = vi.t -1/2at²

d = 20.3 - 1/2.1.5.3²

d = 53.25 m

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

magnification is - 159

objective distance is 3.85 cm

Explanation:

Given data

focal length f1 = 1.40 cm

focal length f2 = 2.20 cm

separated d = 19.6 cm

to find out

angular magnification and How far from the objective

solution

we know magnification formula that is

magnification = ( - L / f1 ) (D/f2)

here D = 25 cm put all value

magnification = ( - 19.6 / 1.40 ) (25/2.20)

magnification = - 159

and

now we apply lens formula

i/f = 1/q + 1/p

p = f2 = 2.20

so

q = f2 p / p -f2

q = 1.4(2.20) / ( 2.2 - 1.4 )

q = 3.85 cm

so objective distance is 3.85 cm

Why do you think sound travels faster in steel than it does in wood? (Hint: Think about the densities of the two materials, and
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Sound moves faster through denser air because the molecules are closer together in dense air and sound can be more easily passed on.
