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

Zina [86]
Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. It can either be kinetics or potential. In this problem you know it starting position so you can calculate it's potential energy (PE):

<span>PE=mass∗gravity∗height=0.3kg∗9.8m/s2∗1.8m=?

</span>The answer will typically be given in joules:

1J=kg∗m2s2 Could be wrong...  But I believe it is 5.3...? as a final product.

A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. This means that it can be formed by rotating a parabola around its a
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given dish width= 48ft

Depth = 4ft

Using equation of a parabola

x²= 4py

48² = 4p 4

4p = 576

P= 144ft

Thus the the receiver should be placed 144ft from t the vertex
