Answer: 87 min

Explanation:

The speed of the boat $S_{boat}$ will be its speed relative to the river $S_{boat-river}$ plus the the speed of the river $S_{river}$ :

$S_{boat}=S_{boat-river}+S_{river}$ (1)

$S_{boat}=1.20 km/h+0.384 km/h$ (2)

$S_{boat}=1.584 \frac{km}{h}$ (3)

On the other hand, the speed of the boat is given by a relation between its traveled distance $d$ and the time $t$ :

$S_{boat}=\frac{d}{t}$ (4)

Isolating $t$ and knowing $d=2.29 km$ :

$t=\frac{d}{S_{boat}}$ (5)

$t=\frac{2.29 km}{1.584 \frac{km}{h}}$ (6)

$t=1.445 h \frac{60min}{1 h}=86.74 min \approx 87 min$ (7)

Hence the time in minutes is 87 min.

Answer:

D) 735 J(oules)

Explanation:

Work is defined as force * distance

Force is defined as mass * acceleration

Given a mass of 15 kg and a gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s² since the box is being lifted up, the force being applied to the box is 15 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 147 N

Since the distance is 5 meters, the work done is 147 N * 5 m = 735 N/m = 735 J, making D the correct answer.

A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J

A ball is tossed straight up from the surface of a small, spherical asteroid with no atmosphere. The ball rises to a height equa

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

d. equal to one-fourth the acceleration at the surface of the asteroid.

Explanation:

The explanation is attached as a picture with this answer

Newton's law of universal gravitation is being used to compare the accelerations at the surface and at the top of the ball's path.

as it can be seen in the explanation that the proportional form of the equation is used because we do not need to necessarily use to final form with "G" for comparison calculations.

As per the given scenario only difference between the two points in the gravitational field is the distance from center of the spherical asteroid, i.e. r.

It is taken 2r for the top is the path. hence we obtain (1/4)g as our answer.
