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

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.

1. Apply a constant force of 50 N directed to the right of the 50 kg Box. (2 pts)
kotegsom [21]

As the box is moving with a constant velocity, the two forces acting on the box are canceling each other.

Then   friction force = 80 Newtons              but in the opposite direction.

Friction force =  Mu  * Normal force exerted by ground  =  Mu * weight of box

So we find Mu.

Mu = coefficient of friction between box and horizontal surface

          = Force of friction / weight  =  80 / 50 * 9.81 = 0.163

When an identical box is placed on top, the force of friction is

      = Mu * total weight = 0.163 * (50+50) * 9.81 = 159.9 Newtons

The astronomer who first worked out the mathematical description of black hole event horizons was?
vovangra [49]

Karl Schwarzschild devised the first general relativity model that would adequately describe a black hole in 1916.

What is Black Hole?

A black hole is an area of spacetime with such intense gravitational pull that nothing can escape from it, not even light or other electromagnetic waves. According to general relativity theory, a compact enough mass can bend spacetime into a black hole. The event horizon is the line beyond which there is no escape.

Black holes were once thought to be a mathematical curiosity, but theoretical research in the 1960s revealed that they were actually a general prediction of general relativity.

A bucket of water is being raised from a well using a rope. If the bucket of water has a mass of 6.2 kg, how much force (in N) m
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

6.2N force

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, force is equal to the product of the mass of a body and its acceleration. Mathematically,

Force = mass × acceleration

Given mass of bucket of water = 6.2kg

acceleration of the bucket = 1m/s²

Force exerted on the rope = 6.2 × 1

= 6.2N

As you may well know, placing metal objects inside a microwave oven can generate sparks. Two of your friends are arguing over th
Fofino [41]

Answer:

5.04\cdot 10^8 A

Explanation:

The work function of the metal corresponds to the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the metal. In this case, it is:

\phi = 3.950\cdot 10^{-19}J

So, the energy of the incoming photon hitting on the metal must be at least equal to this value.

The energy of a photon is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

Using E=\phi and solving for \lambda, we find the maximum wavelength of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.950\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.04\cdot 10^{-7}m

And since

1 angstrom = 10^{-15}m

The wavelength in angstroms is

\lambda=\frac{5.04\cdot 10^{-7} m}{10^{-15} m/A}=5.04\cdot 10^8 A

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m
