A boat moves through the water of a river at 4.72 m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat’s direction. If the current

is flowing at 3.86 m/s, how long does it take the boat to complete a trip consisting of a 297 m displacement downstream followed by a 389 m displacement upstream? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

486.95s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of the boat be v_b and that of the river be v_r.

When the boat is moving downstream, the resultant velocity is given by;

v=v_b+v_r\\Given;\\v_b=4.72m/s\\v_r=3.86m/s\\therefore\\v=4.72m/s+3.86m/s=8.58m/s

Recall that

velocity=\frac{dispacement}{time}.............(1)

Given; downstream displacement, d = 297m. Therefore by equation (1);

8.58=\frac{297}{t_1}\\t_1=\frac{297}{8.58}\\t_1=34.62s

where t_1 is the time taken to travel downstream displacement.

When the boat is moving upstream it is moving directly against the river current, hence its resultant velocity in this case becomes;

v=v_b-v_r\\v=4.72-3.86=0.86m/s

The time taken upstream is then calculated as follows given that the upstream displacement is 389m, according to equation (1);

0.86=\frac{389}{t_2}\\

therefore t_2=\frac{389}{0.86}=452.326s

Hence the total time taken by the boat to complete its trip as specified is given as follows;

t_{total}=t_1+t_2= 34.62+452.326\\t_{total}=486.95s

Answer:

Total time taken by boat to cover all the displacement = 452.3254 sec

Explanation:

We have given speed of boat = 4.72 m/sec

Speed of current flowing = 3.86 m./sec

In downstream relative speed of boat = speed of boat + speed of current flowing = 4.72+3.86 = 8.58 m/sec

Distance traveled downstream = 297 m

So time taken by boat to travel 297 m downstream t_1=\frac{297}{8.58}=34.615sec

In upstream relative speed of speed = speed of boat - speed of current flowing = 4.72 -3.86 = 0.86 m/sec

Distance traveled in upstream = 389 m

So time taken to travel 289 m upstream t_2=\frac{389}{0.86}=452.325sec

So total time t=t_1+t_2=34.615+452.325486.94 sec

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 5.0 km/h
Ratling [72]

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8

When making maps of the large-scale universe, astronomers estimate distances to the vast majority of galaxies by using:
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<em>The comoving distance and the proper distance scale</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The comoving distance scale removes the effects of the expansion of the universe, which leaves us with a distance that does not change in time due to the expansion of space (since space is constantly expanding). The comoving distance and proper distance are defined to be equal at the present time; therefore, the ratio of proper distance to comoving distance now is 1. The scale factor is sometimes not equal to 1. The distance between masses in the universe may change due to other, local factors like the motion of a galaxy within a cluster.  Finally, we note that the expansion of the Universe results in the proper distance changing, but the comoving distance is unchanged by an expanding universe.

A protein molecule in an electrophoresis gel has a negative charge. The exact charge depends on the pH of the solution, but 30 e
Reika [66]

Answer:

7.401 * 10^(-15) N

Explanation:

30 electrons will have a charge:

30 * -1.6022 * 10^(-19) C

= - 4.806 * 10^(-18) C

The relationship between electric field and electric force is:

E = F/q

This means that force, F, is

|F| = |E|*|q|

|F| = |1540| * |-4.806 * 10^(-18)|

|F| = |-7401.24 * 10^(-18)|

|F| = 7.401 * 10^(-15) N

What magnification is best for the observation of most tissue slides? Explain why this has proved to be true?
Komok [63]

Answer:

The 10X objective is use for the identification of actual size of histology tissues and 4X magnification is best for observation of most tissues slides

Explanation:

4X magnification is best for observation of most tissues slides because it has an objective lens that have lower power and have great high field overview which make it very easier to locate specimens on the slide. It is use to get the overview of histology slides. It is use to showcase more detailed observations about histology.

The 40X objective is use majorly to identify tissue , to observe the finer details and study tissue organization on the histology slide.
