If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock as you prepare to dock, which line should you secure first?

Physics
1 answer:
Akimi4 [234]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Bow Line

Explanation:

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock, bow line should be secured first.

1- We should cast off the bow and stern lines.

2-With the help of an oar or boat hook, keep the boat clear of the dock.

3-Leave the boat on its own for sometime and let the wind or current carry the boat away from the dock.

4 - As you see there is sufficient clearance, shift into forward gear and slowly leave the area.

Una barra de aluminio que esta a 78 GRADOS CENTIGRADOS entra en contacto con una barra de cobre de la misma longitud y área que
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Al llegar a su equilibrio térmico ambas barran tendrán una temperatura de 53 grados centígrados.

Explanation:

Dado que una barra de aluminio que está a 78 grados centígrados entra en contacto con una barra de cobre de la misma longitud y área que esta a 28 grados centígrados, y posteriormente se lleva acabo la transferencia de energía entre ambas barras llegando a su equilibrio térmico, para determinar la temperatura a la que ambas barras llegarán se debe realizar el siguiente cálculo:

(78 + 28) / 2 = X

106 / 2 = X

53 = X

Por lo tanto, al llegar a su equilibrio térmico ambas barran tendrán una temperatura de 53 grados centígrados.

Problem #2: An apple is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +24.0 m/s. a. Sketch the apple's trip and label what you know.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s

We can solve this problem using the formula:

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h

2(9.8)h = 24²

2(9.8)h = 576

19.6h = 576

h = 29.4 m

b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:

v = u - gt

0 = 24 - 9.8t

9.8t = 24

t = 2.45 s

The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s

Current Flow and Ohm's Law

Ohm's law is the most important, basic law of electricity. It defines the relationship between the three fundamental electrical quantities: current, voltage, and resistance. When a voltage is applied to a circuit containing only resistive elements (i.e. no coils), current flows according to Ohm's Law, which is shown below.

I = V / R 

Where: 

I =

Electrical Current (Amperes)

V =

Voltage (Voltage)

R =

Resistance (Ohms)

    

Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the circuit does not change. Similarly, increasing the resistance of the circuit will lower the current flow if the voltage is not changed. The formula can be reorganized so that the relationship can easily be seen for all of the three variables.

The Java applet below allows the user to vary each of these three parameters in Ohm's Law and see the effect on the other two parameters. Values may be input into the dialog boxes, or the resistance and voltage may also be varied by moving the arrows in the applet. Current and voltage are shown as they would be displayed on an oscilloscope with the X-axis being time and the Y-axis being the amplitude of the current or voltage. Ohm's Law is valid for both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). Note that in AC circuits consisting of purely resistive elements, the current and voltage are always in phase with each other.

Exercise: Use the interactive applet below to investigate the relationship of the variables in Ohm's law. Vary the voltage in the circuit by clicking and dragging the head of the arrow, which is marked with the V. The resistance in the circuit can be increased by dragging the arrow head under the variable resister, which is marked R. Please note that the vertical scale of the oscilloscope screen automatically adjusts to reflect the value of the current.

See what happens to the voltage and current as the resistance in the circuit is increased. What happens if there is not enough resistance in a circuit? If the resistance is increased, what must happen in order to maintain the same level of current flow?

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.
