Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. Boat

B goes across at 24 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 72 km/h. Turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round trip first wins.
(1) Which boat wins? (Or is it a tie?)

(A) boat A
(B) boat B
(C) it's a tie
.
(2) By how much? answer in km
(3) What is the average velocity of the winning boat? answer needs to be km/h

Answer:

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

average velocity must be zero

Explanation:

As we know that the distance moved by the boat is given as

d = 48 km

now the time taken by the boat to move to and fro is given as

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{48 + 48}{48}

t = 2 hrs

Time taken by Boat B to cover the distance

t = \frac{48}{24} + \frac{48}{72}

t = 2.66 h

Part 1)

Boat A will win the race

Part 2)

Boat A will win the race by 48 km as the 2nd boat will reach the other end while boat A will just touches the finish line

Part 3)

Since the displacement of Boat A is zero

so average velocity must be zero

Find the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, I0 for a lamina that occupies the part of the disk x2 y2 ≤ 36 in the first quadrant if the d
Tasya [4]

Answer:

I(x)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(y)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(o) = 3888×k ×{\pi}  

Explanation:

Given data

function =  x^2 + y^2 ≤ 36

function =  x^2 + y^2 ≤ 6^2

to find out

the moments of inertia Ix, Iy, Io

solution

first we consider the polar coordinate (a,θ)

and polar is directly proportional to a²

so p = k × a²

so that

x = a cosθ

y = a sinθ

dA = adθda

so

I(x) = ∫y²pdA

take limit 0 to 6 for a and o to \pi /2 for θ

I(x) = \int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} y²p dA

I(x) = \int_{0}^{6}\int_{0}^{\pi/2} (a sinθ)²(k × a²) adθda

I(x) = k  \int_{0}^{6}a^(5)  da ×  \int_{0}^{\pi/2}  (sin²θ)dθ

I(x) = k  \int_{0}^{6}a^(5)  da ×  \int_{0}^{\pi/2}  (1-cos2θ)/2 dθ

I(x)  = k ({r}^{6}/6)^(5)_0 ×  {θ/2 - sin2θ/4}^{\pi /2}_0

I(x)  = k × ({6}^{6}/6) × (  {\pi /4} - sin\pi /4)

I(x)  = k ×  ({6}^{5}) ×   {\pi /4}

I(x)  = 1444×k ×{\pi}    .....................1

and we can say I(x) = I(y)   by the symmetry rule

and here I(o) will be  I(x) + I(y) i.e

I(o) = 2 × 1444×k ×{\pi}

I(o) = 3888×k ×{\pi}   ......................2

give an example of motion in which displacement of the particle is zero but acceleration is not zero in journey?
BartSMP [9]

Motion of a ball thrown by a person upwards and caught after some time is an example of motion in which displacement of the particle is zero but acceleration is not zero in journey.

The displacement of the ball is zero because the starting and end point of the motion are same, i.e, the person's hands.During its motion, the acceleration of ball is constant and non zero called as acceleration due to gravity, g= -9.8 m/s². The velocity of ball is continuously changing. It first decreases during the upward motion of the ball and then increases during the downward journey.The acceleration remains constant and non zero all the time.

How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound wave is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{A}

P is power

A is area

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

or

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}, r is distance from the source

If the distance from the  source is increased by a factor of 4, r' = 4r

So,

I'=\dfrac{1}{r'^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{(4r)^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{1}{r^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{I}{16}

So, the new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.

3. 3.0*1015 electrons are removed from one side of a parallel plate capacitor and travel to the other side of the capacitor. You
natima [27]

Answer:

True

Q = 480 \mu C

Explanation:

As we know that total charge is always quantized and in the terms of multiples of charge of single electron

so we have

Q = Ne

here we know that

N = 3.0 \times 10^{15}

also we know that

e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

so we have

Q = (3.0 \times 10^{15})(1.6 \times 10^{-19} C)

Q = 480 \mu C

Since this charge is in multiple of micro coulomb units so yes it is possible to measure it

and the magnitude of this charge is given as

Q = 480\mu C
