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

The attractive electrostatic force between the point charges +8.44 ✕ 10-6 and q has a magnitude of 0.961 n when the separation b
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The electrostatic force between two charges Q1 and q is given by
F=k_e  \frac{Q_1 q}{r^2}
where 
ke is the Coulomb's constant
Q1 is the first charge
q is the second charge
r is the distance between the two charges

Re-arranging the formula, we have
q= \frac{F r^2}{k_e Q_1}
and since we know the value of the force F, of the charge Q1 and the distance r between the two charges, we can calculate the value of q:
q= \frac{(0.961 N)(0.67 m)^2}{(8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2})(+8.44\cdot 10^{-6}C)}=5.69 \cdot 10^{-6} C

And since the force is attractive, the two charges must have opposite sign, so the charge q must have negative sign.

How did planck find the correct curve for the specturm of light emitted by a hot obkect?
Neko [114]

Planck find the correct curve for the specturm of light emitted by a hot object by vibrational energies of the atomic resonators were quantized.

<h3>Briefing :</h3>
  • The energy density of a black body between λ and λ + dλ is the energy E=hc/λ of a mode times the density of states for photons, times the probability that the mode is occupied. 
  • This is Planck's renowned equation for a black body's energy density.
  • According to this, electromagnetic radiation from heated bodies emits in discrete energy units or quanta, the size of which depends on a fundamental physical constant (Planck's constant). The basis of infrared imaging is the correlation between spectral emissivity, temperature, and radiant energy, which is made possible by Planck's equation.

A rectangular copper strip 1.5cm wide and 0.10cn thick carries a current of 5.0A. Find the Hall voltage for a 1.2T magnetic fiel
Scrat [10]

Answer:

4.4345× 10^-7V

Explanation:

The computation of the half voltage for a 1.2T magnetic field applied is shown below

The volume of one mole of copper is

v = m ÷p

= 63.5 ÷ 8.92

= 7.12cm

Now the density of free electrons in copper is

n = Na ÷ V

= 6.02 × 10^23 ÷ 7.12

= 8.456× 10^28/m^3

Now the half voltage is

= IB ÷ nqt

= (5 × 1.20) ÷ (8.456× 10^28 × 1.6 × 10^-19 × 0.1× 10^-2)

= 4.4345× 10^-7V

A pump jack scaffold must be fitted with two ______ gripping mechanisms to prevent slippage.
FromTheMoon [43]
A pump jack scaffold must be fitted with two positive gripping mechanisms to prevent slippage. Pump jacks are a uniquely designed scaffold consisting of a platform supported by movable brackets on vertical poles. The brackets are designed to be raised and lowered in a manner similar to an automobile jack. It is important to make sure that pump jack brackets have two positive gripping mechanisms to prevent any failure or slippage.
