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

If the diameter of a radar dish is doubled, what happens to its resolving power assuming that all other factors remain unchanged
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

      θ’ = θ₀ / 2

we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half

Explanation:

The resolving power of a radar is given by diffraction, for which we will use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution of two point sources, they are considered resolved if the maximum of diffraction of one coincides with the first minimum of the other.

The first minimum occurs for m = 1, so the diffraction equation of a slit remains

        a sin θ = λ

in general, the diffraction patterns occur at very small angles, so

        sin θ = θ

          θ = λ / a

in the case of radar we have a circular aperture and the equation must be solved in polar coordinates, which introduces a numerical constant.

        θ = 1.22 λ /a

In this exercise we are told that the opening changes

         a’ = 2 a

we substitute

          θ ‘= 1.22  λ / 2a

          θ' = (1.22 λ / a) 1/2

          θ’ = θ₀ / 2

we see that the resolution angle is reduced by half

makkiz [27]

Answer:

An ultra intense laser is one with which intensities greater than 1015 W cm-2 can be achieved.

Explanation:

This intensity, which was the upper limit of lasers until the invention of the Chirped Pulse Amplification, CPA technique, is the value around which nonlinear effects on the transport of radiation in materials begin to appear.

Currently, the most powerful lasers reach intensities of the order of 1021W cm-2 and powers of Petawatts, PW, in each pulse. This range of intensities has opened the door for lasers to a multitude of disciplines and scientific areas traditionally reserved for accelerators and nuclear reactors, applying as generators of high-energy electron, ion, neutron and photon beams, without the need for expensive infrastructure.

6.If a 250. gram cart moving to the right with a velocity of .31 m/s collides inelastically with a 500. gram cart traveling to t
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The total momentum of the system before the collision is 0.0325 kg-m/s due east direction.    

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the cart, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

Initial velocity of the cart, u = 0.31 m/s (due right)

Mass of another cart, m' = 500 g = 0.5 kg

Initial velocity of the another cart u' = -0.22 m/s (due left)

Let p is the total momentum of the system before the collision. It is given by :

p=mu+m'u'\\\\p=0.25\times 0.31+0.5\times (-0.22)\\\\p=-0.0325\ kg-m/s

So, the total momentum of the system before the collision is 0.0325 kg-m/s due east direction.

Two boats leave the same port at the same time, with boat A traveling north at 15 knots (nautical miles per hour) and boat B tra
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The chance in distance is 25 knots

Explanation:

The distance between the two particles is given by:

s^2 = (x_A - x_B)^2+(y_A - y_B)^2  (1)

Since A is traveling north and B is traveling east we can say that their displacement vector are perpendicular and therefore (1) transformed as:

s^2 = x_B^2+y_A^2 (2)

Taking the differential with respect to time:

\displaystyle{2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt}}  (3)

where \displaystyle{\frac{dx_B}{dt}}=v_B and \displaystyle{\frac{dx_A}{dt}}=v_A are the respective given velocities of the boats. To find s and x_B we make use of the given position for A, y_A=30, the Pythagoras theorem and the relation between distance and velocity for a movement with constant velocity.

\displaystyle{y_A = v_A\cdot t\rightarrow t = \frac{y_A}{v_A}=\frac{30}{15}=2 h

with this time, we know can now calculate the distance at which B is:

\displaystyle{x_B = v_B\cdot t= 20 \cdot 2 = 40\ nmi

and applying Pythagoras:

\displaystyle{s = \sqrt{x_B^2+y_A^2}=\sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50}

Now substituting all the values in (3) and solving for  \displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} } we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{1}{2s}(2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt})}\\\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = 25 \ knots}
