You and some friends decide to take a canoe trip down the Wood River. The stretch of river you are traveling flows at a roughly

constant speed of 2 mph. You are able to paddle your canoe at a speed of 3 mph relative to the water. Unbeknownst to you, shortly after you set off down the river, your keys fall into the river. Fortunately, they are attached to a floating key chain. After two hours of paddling, you notice they are missing. You turn around and paddle upstream looking for them. About how long will it take you to find your keys? Assume they move along steadily with the current and that you spot them as soon as they are within a few feet of your canoe.

Answer:

t= 1.2 hours

Explanation:

Define first di distance between the points, so

\bar{x}_{canoe}=2*(2+3)=10

\bar{x}_{water}=2*2=4

The distance is

d= \bar{x}_{canoe}- \bar{x}_{water}

d= 10-4 = 6miles

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{6}{2+3}

t= 1.2 hours

Den pushes a desk 400 cm across the floor. He exerts a force of 10 N for 8 s to move the desk.
stellarik [79]

Answer: The correct option is Option b.

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of work done by an object.

Mathematically,

P=\frac{W}{t}    .....(1)

And work done is the product of force exerted on the object times the displacement covered by that object.

Mathematically,

W=F.s

Putting this value in above equation, we get:

P=\frac{F.s}{t}

where,

P = power = ?W

F = Force exerted = 10N

s = Displacement = 400cm = 4m   (Conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm)

t = Time taken = 8s

Putting values in above equation, we get

P=\frac{10\times 4}{8}\\\\P=5W

Hence, the correct option is Option b.

A sled drops 50 meters in height on a hill. The mass of the rider and sled is 70 kg and the sled is going 10 m/s at the bottom o
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 10.2 %

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 70 kg

Height = 50 m

Velocity = 10 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8 m/s².

To find the efficiency of energy conversion from potential to kinetic;

First of all, we would determine the potential energy;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 70 * 9.8 * 50

P.E = 34300 J

For the kinetic energy;

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½ * 70 * 10²

K.E = 35 * 100

K.E = 3500

Therefore, Input energy, I = 34300 J

Output energy, O = 3500 J

Next, we find the efficiency;

Efficiency = O/I * 100

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Efficiency = 3500/34300 * 100

Efficiency = 0.1020 * 100

Efficiency = 10.2 %
