Answer:

   t = 4.468 h

Explanation:

For this exercise let's start by calculating the distance where the boat is

the first trip is 50 miles at 45 °, then 90 miles at 80 °,

to find the total distance let's find the distance of each displacement

             cos 45 = x₁ / 50

             sin 45 = y₁ / 50

             x₁ = 50 cos 45 = 35.35 miles

             y₁ = 50 cos 45 = 35.35 miles

             

             cos 80 = x₂ / 90

             sin 80 = y₂ / 90

             x₂ = 90 cos 80 = 15.63 miles

             y₂ = 90 sin 80 = 88.63 miles

let's find the total displacement in each axis

            x_total = x₁ + x₂

            x_total = 35.35 + 15.63

            x_total = 50.98 miles

         

            y_total = y₁ + y₂

            y_total = 35.35 + 88.63

            y_total = 123.98 miles

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the modulus of the displacement

            R = √ (x_total² + y_total²)

            R = √ (50.98² + 123.98²)

            R = 134.05 miles

The boat goes at a constant speed,

           v = R / t

             

           t = R / v

let's calculate

           t = 134.05 / 30

            t = 4.468 h

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic
Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

What are the consequences of sediment pollution?
Nonamiya [84]
Loss of habitats for fish, birds, and other wildlife. Sediment pollution is one of the leading causes of the loss of the wetlands, but it’s not just the wetlands. Changes in the nutrients in your water. The same problem that affects the fish in your area may also affect you. Other drinking water contamination.

Compare and contrast the health benefits and the amount of physical or mental energy needed between active leisure activities an
dolphi86 [110]
This is the answer "Some active leisure activities, such as yoga and running, require a great deal of physical energy, while other activities, like playing chess, require a substantial amount of mental energy. Passive leisure activities, such as watching TV or going to the movies, require little to no physical or mental energy. Because of the exertion of physical or mental energy, active leisure activities have more health benefits than passive leisure activities." hope it help you?:)
