The Gulf Stream off the east coast of the United States can flow at a rapid 3.3 m/s to the north. A ship in this current has a c

ruising speed of 8.0 m/s . The captain would like to reach land at a point due west from the current position.
Part B) At this heading, what is the ship's speed with respect to land?

Answer:

2.29 m/s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of the stream to north,x = 3.3 m/s

speed of the ship,z = 8 m/s

Speed of the stream is in north direction, to move the ship in west direction ship should move in south direction.

To solve this a right angle triangle is constructed.

where speed of the stream is base and speed of cruise is hypotenuse.

now, speed of ship with respect to ground

z² = x² + y²

y² = z² - x²

y² = 8² - 3.3²

y = \sqrt{53.11}

y = 2.29 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ship with respect to ground is equal to 2.29 m/s.

A mad scientist wants to collect massive amounts of charge on basketball sized aluminum balls. The scientist wants to place 6 C
vitfil [10]

The distance between two basket ball sized aluminium balls is 9714 m.

Explanation:

Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force .

Coulomb's law formula => F = (k * Qb1 * Qb2)/r²

Given data :-

charge on ball 1 Qb1 = 6C

charge on ball 2 Qb2 = 14C

Force exerted F = 8000 N

k =  8.988 x 10^9 Nm²C−²(coulomb's constant).

substituting given values in the coulomb's formula

8000 = (( 8.988 x 10^9)*6*14)/r²

shifting r and 8000 to other sides

r² = (756 * 10^9)/8000

r = 9714 m.

Therefore the distance between two balls is r = 9714 m.

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.

Which of the following objects has the greatest kinetic energy?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

a baseball flying through the air at 90 miles per hour

Explanation:

For the question, Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If the velocity is doubled the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.
