Answer:

4.02 km/hr

Explanation:

5 km/hr = 1.39 m/s

The swimmer's speed relative to the ground must have the same direction as line AC.

The vertical component of the velocity is:

uᵧ = us cos 45

uᵧ = √2/2 us

The horizontal component of the velocity is:

uₓ = 1.39 − us sin 45

uₓ = 1.39 − √2/2 us

Writing a proportion:

uₓ / uᵧ = 121 / 159

(1.39 − √2/2 us) / (√2/2 us) = 121 / 159

Cross multiply and solve:

159 (1.39 − √2/2 us) = 121 (√2/2 us)

220.8 − 79.5√2 us = 60.5√2 us

220.8 = 140√2 us

us = 1.115

The swimmer's speed is 1.115 m/s, or 4.02 km/hr.

When 2 grams of hydrogen (h2) react with 32 grams of oxygen (O2) the reaction yields hydrogen peroxide (h2o2) how many grams of

MissTica

as per the reaction we have

$H_2 + O_2 ---> H_2O_2$

so here 1 mole of H2 react with 1 mole of O2 and give 1 mole of H2O2 as the product

now we will find the moles of given reactant

moles of H2

$n_1 = \frac{2}{2} = 1 mole$

moles of O2

$n_2 = \frac{32}{32} = 1 mole$

so here both present in 1 mole each hence the product will also formed 1 mole

so here we have

$n = 1 mole$ H2O2 will form

so mass of the product

mass = moles* molecular mass

$m = 1 * (2 + 32)$

$m = 34 g$

so the product mass will be 34 g

A package is dropped from a helicopter that is descending steadily at a speed v0. After t seconds have elapsed, consider the fol

qaws [65]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = \sqrt{v_o^2 + g^2t^2}$

Part b)

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part c)

$v_f = v_o - gt$

Part d)

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that speed of package is same as that of helicopter in horizontal direction

So after time "t" the velocity in x direction will remain constant while in Y direction it will go free fall

So we have

$v_y = -gt$

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{v_o^2 + g^2t^2}$

Part b)

Distance from helicopter is same as the distance of free fall

so we will have

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Part c)

If helicopter is rising upwards with uniform speed

then final speed of the package after time t is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = v_o - gt$

Part d)

distance from helicopter

$d = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

What are hot clouds of gaseous elements and compounds that act as nurseries for stars

Aleks04 [339]

Interstellar gas clouds are common in many galaxy, like the Orion nebulae which many young stars are being born. A typical nebula is many light years in diameter and contains enough material mass to make several thousand stars the size of our sun. The majority of the gas in nebulae consist of molecules of hydrogen and helium-but most nebulae also contain atoms of other elements. All known element in our periodic table is also being made inside this crucible of this immense hot gas. The source of the organic molecules is still a mystery. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pull the gas molecules close together.
