Answer:

D = 527.31 Km

Explanation:

given,

angle of ship, θ = 23.5° N of W

distance travel in the direction = 575 Km

Distance of ship in west from harbor = ?

now,

Distance of the ship in the west direction

D = d cos θ

d = 575 Km

θ = 23.5°

inserting all the values

D = 575 x cos 23.5°

D = 575 x 0.91706

D = 527.31 Km

Hence, the distance travel by the ship in west from harbor is equal to D = 527.31 Km

If the speed of a wave is 1500m/sec and its frequency is 200 Hz, what is its wavelength
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.

Given:

Speed of wave = 1500 \frac{m}{s}

Frequency of wave = 200 Hz

To find:

Wavelength of wave = ?

Formula used:

\lambda = \frac{v}{n}

Where \lambda = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

Solution:

Wavelength of wave is given by,

\lambda = \frac{v}{n}

Where \lambda = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

\lambda = \frac{1500}{200}

\lambda = 7.5 m

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.

A ball is dropped and falls with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 downward. It hits the ground with a velocity of 49 m/s downward. Ho
il63 [147K]
Hey!

NOTE-:

u= initial velocity
v= final velocity
g= acceleration due to gravity
t= time

u= 0
v= 49 m/s
t=?
g= 9.8 m/s^2

Using first equation of motion -

v-u=at
49-0= 9.8×t
49 = 9.8t
49/9.8= t
t= 5 second


Hope it helps...!!!

It was a children versus grown-ups competition at school. One event required the adult to throw a basketball as far as he could.
aleksklad [387]
Based on Newton's Law, the event is not fair because:

<span>No, because a basketball is bigger than a baseball, and objects that are bigger accelerate slower.


I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!</span>

How does the color of water affect its evaporation rate
olga_2 [115]
Well my thinking is that the lighter the slower the water evaporates or the darker the faster becuase dark colors absorb light and allows a lot of heat to be generated or not at all.
