A boat crossing a 153.0 m wide river is directed so that it will cross the river as quickly as possible. The boat has a speed of

5.70 m/s in still water and the river flows uniformly at 4.90 m/s. Calculate the total distance the boat will travel to reach the opposite shore.

Answer:

201.76266192 m

Explanation:

Distance traveled in the horizontal direction = 153 m

In the vertical direction the distance traveled

\dfrac{4.9\times 153}{5.7}=131.526315789\ m

Total distance from pythagoras theorem

d=\sqrt{153^2+(\dfrac{4.9\times 153}{5.7})^2}\\\Rightarrow d=201.76266192\ m

The total distance the boat will travel to reach the opposite shore is 201.76266192 m

An electric motor with a 1200 hp output drives a machine with an efficiency of 60%. What is the energy output of the machine per
kirill [66]

Answer:

536,904 J/s

Explanation:

The energy output from motor is the input energy in the machine.

We know that efficiency is percentage energy ouput to energy input, and expressed as

n=\frac {E_o}{E_i}

Where n and E represent efficiency and energy respectively, subscripts o and i represent output and input respectively. Since for the machine we have the input energy then the output will be the product of efficiency and input energy

Energy output=0.6*1200 hp=720 hp

Converting hp to J/s we multiply by 745.7

Energy is 720*745.7=536,904 J/s

Moving company uses a machine to raise a 900 Newton refrigerator to the second floor of a building machine consists of a single
Juliette [100K]
Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the output force over the input force or M=Fo/Fi. Since M=1, Fi=Fo, or the input force is equal to the output force. This means that to raise the refrigerator that weighs 900 N, we need the same input force of 900 N, or Fo=Fi=900 N.

A bag of marbles is hanging motionless on a spring scale. What prevents the bag from falling?​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

Match the lithification processes.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

ReCrystallization

Contact pressure causing grains to "grow" together.

It's a metamorphic process used to rearrange the atoms of the minerals in order to modify them in to the required form under the specific temperature and pressure. For example conversion of limestone into marble.

<em>Cementation:</em>

Precipitation of bonding agents between grains.

Cementation is the process in which the minerals in the form of fluid fills in spaces between the grains and binds them together upon crystallizing.

<em>Compaction:</em>

Increase in density due to weight of overburden.

Compaction as it's name indicate is the compaction of the sediments due to the heavy weight of the rocks which reduce their size and increase their density.
