Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J

ada’s velocity to be 8 m/s ˆ I + 3 m/s ˆ j.
What is Jada’s speed with respect to the water?
a. 13.3 m/s
b. 11.3 m/s
c. 8.54 m/s
d. 8.25 m/s
e. 4.24 m/s
f. None of these

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= \sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}

|v|= \sqrt{68} = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.

lana [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

You are missing the chart with the rates and time to do this, however, I wll do it with a similar exercise here, and you only need to replace the procedure with your data:

See the attached table.

From the left we have:

r = 1/2 (50 + 48 + 46 + 44 + 42 + 40) = 135 L/min

From the right we have:

r = 1/2 (48 + 46 +44 + 42 + 40 + 38) = 129 L/min.

And this should be the correct answer. Watch your chart and replace if it's neccesary.

What is power in physics​
Shkiper50 [21]

Edit

In physics, power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat, i.e. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalarquantity. In the International System of Units, the unit of power is the joule per second (J/s), known as the watt in honour of James Watt, the eighteenth-century developer of the condenser steam engine. Another common and traditional measure is horsepower (comparing to the power of a horse). Being the rate of work, the equation for power can be written:

Power

Common symbols

Derivations from

other quantities

P = E/t

P = F·v

P = V·I

P = T·ω

As a physical concept, power requires both a change in the physical system and a specified time in which the change occurs. This is distinct from the concept of work, which is only measured in terms of a net change in the state of the physical system. The same amount of work is done when carrying a load up a flight of stairs whether the person carrying it walks or runs, but more power is needed for running because the work is done in a shorter amount of time.

10. Almost three-quarters of household energy use is due to the following:
Arturiano [62]

Answer: Energy consumption and sustainability is important so that it remain available for future generation.

Explanation:

1. The home furnaces are likely to require fuel like coal, which will directly emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases. These should be replaced with the electrical furnaces. The old or more power consuming air conditioners should be replaced with new ones.

2. The water heaters should be tankless so their capacity to heat more water could be possible. The water heaters should be electricity saving.

3. Washer and dryers should be water savy and electricity savy. A front-loading washing machine is useful energy saver.

4. The LED lights are more electricity saving than conventional bulbs. Halogen lights are also electricity saving.

Which item is not considered electromagnetic energy?
suter [353]
Sound waves are known to be the one that's not considered as a type of electromagnetic energy. As for microwaves and x-rays, they tend to share the same frequencies that can be considered as electromagnetic, and sound waves have a different frequency than them.
