Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. boat a goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. boat

b goes across at 24 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 72 km/h. turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round trip first wins. (a) which boat wins? (or is it a tie?)

Answer:

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Explanation:

Case 1: Boat 1

Speed of boat = $\frac{distance of river}{time}$

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

While going to another end

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{48}$

time = 1 hour

While going back,

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{48}$

time = 1 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.

Case 2: Boat 2

Speed of boat = $\frac{distance of river}{time}$

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

While going to another end

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{24}$

time = 2 hour

While going back,

time = $\frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}$

time = $\frac{48}{72}$

time = 0.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

An airplane with a mass of 5,000 kg needs to accelerate 5 m/s2 to take off before it reaches the end of the runway. How much for

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

<h2>25000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 5000 × 5

We have the final answer as

<h3>25000 N</h3>

An ideal monatomic gas at 275 K expands adiabatically and reversibly to six times its volume. What is its final temperature (in

Gwar [14]

The final temperature is 83 K.

<u>Explanation</u>:

For an adiabatic process,

$T {V}^{\gamma - 1} = \text{constant}$

$\cfrac{{T}_{2}}{{T}_{1}} = {\left( \cfrac{{V}_{1}}{{V}_{2}} \right)}^{\gamma - 1}$

Given:-

${T}_{1} = 275 \; K$

${T}_{2} = T \left( \text{say} \right)$

${V}_{1} = V$

${V}_{2} = 6V$

$\gamma = \cfrac{5}{3} \;$ (the gas is monoatomic)

$\therefore \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{V}{6V} \right)}^{\frac{5}{3} - 1}$

$\Rightarrow \cfrac{T}{275} = {\left( \cfrac{1}{6} \right)}^{\frac{2}{3}}$

T = 275 $\times$ 0.30

T = 83 K.

A particle with mass 1.81×10−3 kg and a charge of 1.22×10−8 C has, at a given instant, a velocity v⃗ =(3.00×104m/s)j^. What are

slava [35]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle is $a= 0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass $m = 1.81\times10^{-3}\ kg$

Velocity $v = (3.00\times10^{4}\ m/s)j$

Charge $q = 1.22\times10^{-8}\ C$

Magnetic field $B= (1.63\hat{i}+0.980\hat{j})\ T$

We need to calculate the acceleration of the particle

Formula of the acceleration is defined as

$F = ma=q(v\times B)$

$a =\dfrac{q(v\times B)}{m}$

We need to calculate the value of $v\times B$

$v\times B=(3.00\times10^{4}\ m/s)j\times(1.63\hat{i}+0.980\hat{j})$

$v\times B=4.89\times10^{4}$

Now, put the all values into the acceleration 's formula

$a =\dfrac{1.22\times10^{-8}\times(-4.89\times10^{4}\hat{k})}{1.81\times10^{-3}}$

$a= -0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

Negative sign shows the opposite direction.

Hence, The magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle is $a= 0.3296\ \hat{k}\ m/s^2$

When the mass of the bottle is 0.125 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is m. When the mass of the bottle is 0.250 kg

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

when the mass of the bottle is 0.125 kg, the average height of the beanbag is 0.35 m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.250 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 0.91m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.375 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 1.26m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.500 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 1.57m.
