You own a yacht which is 14.5 meters long. It is motoring down a canal at 10.6 m/s. Its bow (the front of the boat) is just abou

t to begin passing underneath a bridge that is 30.0 m across. How much time is required until its stern (the end of the boat) is no longer under the bridge?

Answer:

4.198 seconds

Explanation:

The total length of the yacht is 30m and the width of the bridge is 14.5m.

The speed of the yacht is 10.6m/s.

We can assume the current of the canal has a speed of 0m/s.

To calculate the answer we will break it into two parts

1) The time it takes for the bow to travel from the start of the bridge to the end

<em>Formula Speed = Distance / Time</em>

Speed = 10.6m/s

Distance = 30m

Time = T1

T1 = 2.8301s

2) The time it takes for the stern to cross the end of the bridge after the bow

<em />

<em>Formula Speed = Distance / Time</em>

<em />

Speed = 10.6m/s

Distance = 14.5m

Time = T2

T2 = 1.3679s

3) The Total Time is

Total = T1 + T2

Total = 4.198s

A 1.75 kg box is pushed with a 8.35 N force across ground where k = 0.267. What is the net force on the box?
lubasha [3.4K]

The net force acting on the box of mass 1.75kg when it is pushed across a ground with coefficient of friction k=0.267 with a force of 8.35N, is 3.77N.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the basic forces acting on a body.

<h3>How to find the net force on the box?</h3>
  • Let us draw the free body diagram of the given box with the data's given in the question.
  • From the diagram, we get,

                                 N=mg\\F_t=ma\\F_t=F-f

where, N is the normal reaction, mg is the weight of the box, F_t is the net force, f is the kinetic friction.

  • We have the expression for kinetic friction as,

                      f=kN=kmg=0.267*1.75*9.8= 4.58N

  • Thus, the net force will be,

                        F_t= 8.35-4.58=3.77N

Thus, we can conclude that, the net force acting on the box of mass 1.75kg when it is pushed across a ground with coefficient of friction k=0.267 with a force of 8.35N, is 3.77N.

How can recycling impact the environment
brilliants [131]

Answer:

A. It uses less energy to make something from recycled materials than from new materials.

Explanation:

I think it is this one because it is the only one that is not harmful to the environment. Also, I took the test a few minutes ago.

In a certain experiment, a radio transmitter emits sinusoidal electromagnetic waves of fre- quency 110.0 MHz in opposite directi
Shkiper50 [21]

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to frequency depending on the wavelength and the speed of light.

By definition we know that the frequency is equivalent to,

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

c= Speed of light

\lambda = Wavelength

While the wavelength is equal to,

\lambda = \frac{2L}{n}

Where,

L = Length

n = Number of antinodes/nodes

PART A) For the first part we have that our wavelength is 110MHz, therefore

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

\lambda = \frac{3*10^8}{11*10^6}

\lambda = 1.36m

Therefore the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36m

PART B) For this part we need to find the Length through the number of nodes (8) and the wavelength, that is,

\lambda'=\frac{2L}{n}

L = \frac{\lambda n}{2}

L = \frac{8*2.72}{2}

L = 10.90m

Therefore the length of the cavity is 10.90m

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

<h3>F=2,111.9</h3>

F= two thousand one hundred eleven point nine

Explanation:

Force equals <em><u>Mass(kg)</u></em> times acceleration (M/s^2)

F=<em><u>m</u></em>a

F= <u><em>215.5</em></u> x 9.8
