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 tube with a cap on one end, but open at the other end, has a fundamental frequency of 130.8 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s
sergey [27]

Answer:

Y = V / f      where Y equals wavelength

4 Y1 = V / f1       for a closed pipe the wavelength is 1/4 the length of the pipe

2 Y2 = V / f2   for the open pipe the wavelength is 1/2 the length of the pipe

Y1 / Y2 = 2 = f2 / f1      dividing equations

f2 = 2 f1  

the new fundamental frequency is 2 * 130.8 = 261.6

(The new wavelength is 1/2 the original wavelength so the frequency must double to produce the same speed.

Inertia is the property of an object that describes:
8_murik_8 [283]
Inertia is the property of an object that basically describes its resistance to change its state of motion.

For instance, if an object is still, inertia describes the "attitude" of the object to stay still (a force should be applied in order to move it). Similarly, if an object is moving by uniform motion (with constant speed), inertia refers to the "attitude" of the object to keep its uniform motion (again, a force should be applied to the object in order to change this state of motion).

A ball is thrown straight up into the air. At each of the following instants, is the ball's acceleration ay equal to g, −g, 0, g
Leto [7]

Answer:

a= (-g) from the moment the ball is thrown, until it stops in the air.

a = (0) when the ball stops in the air.

a = (g) since the ball starts to fall.

Explanation:

The acceleration is <em>(-g)</em> <em>from the moment the ball is thrown, until it stops in the air</em> because the movement goes in the opposite direction to the force of gravity. In the instant <em>when the ball stops in the air the acceleration is </em><em>(0)</em> because it temporarily stops moving. Then, <em>since the ball starts to fall, the acceleration is </em><em>(g)</em><em> </em>because the movement goes in the same direction of the force of gravity
