A river 800m wide flows at the rate of 5km/h . A swimmer who can swim at 10km/h in still water wants to cross the river straight

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

At an angle of $30^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Assume the river flows from East to West so for the swimmer to cross across it, assume he crosses it from West to East.

The resultant speed will be given by

$R= \sqrt {10^{2}-5^{2}=\sqrt {75}\approx 8.66 km/h\\Direction=sin^{-1}\frac {5}{10}\approx 30^{\circ}$

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 — off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5 m horizontally

emmainna [20.7K]

Complete Question

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0 m/s off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5m horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.What is the pumpkin's vertical displacement during the throw? What is the pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground?

Answer:

The pumpkin's vertical displacement is $H = 27 .67 \ m$

The pumpkin's vertical velocity when it hits the ground is $v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The horizontal speed is $v_h = 4 m/s$

The horizontal distance traveled is $d = 9.5 \ m$

The horizontal distance traveled is mathematically represented as

$S = v_h * t$

Where t is the time taken

substituting values

$9.5 = 4 * t$

=> $t = \frac{9.5}{4}$

$t = 2.38 \ sec$

Now the vertical displacement is mathematically represented as

$H = v_v t + \frac{1}{2} a_v t^2$

now the vertical velocity before the throw is zero

$H = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) * (2.375)^2$

$H = 27 .67 \ m$

Now the final vertical velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_v__{f}} = v_v + at$

substituting values

$v_v__{f}} = 0 + (9.8)* (2.375)$

$v_v__{f}} = 23.298 \ m/s$

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

F' = (3/2)F

Explanation:

the formula for the electric field strength is given as follows:

E = F/q

where,

E = Electric Field Strength

F = Force due to the electric field

q = magnitude of charge experiencing the force

Therefore,

F = E q ---------------- equation (1)

Now, if we half the electric field strength and make the magnitude of charge triple its initial value. Then the force will become:

F' = (E/2)(3 q)

F' = (3/2)(E q)

using equation (1)

How many photons are absorbed during the dental x-ray?

MariettaO [177]

<span>E=hc/wav. len
E = (6.62 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8)/0.0275 x 10^-9
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15 J
To convert to eV divide by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15/1.6 x 10^-19 eV
E =45.36 x 10^3 eV
Th energy, E, of a single x-ray photon in eV is = 45.36keV.

Number of photons, n = total energy/ energy of photon
n = 3.85 x 10^-6/7.22182 x 10^-15
n = 5.33 x 10^8 photons </span>
