Answer:
12N to the right.
Explanation:
There is a force of 12N upwards and a force of 12N downwards: these cancel out.
Assign a negative value to forces towards the left, and a positive value to the forces towards the right: -3N and +15N
Combine them: -3N+15N = 12N
The net force has a magnitude of 12N, and since our answer was positive, it acts towards the right.
SONAR stands for "sound navigation and ranging,” and it is used to map and explore the ocean floor.
Answer:
t = 4.08 s
R = 40.8 m
Explanation:
The question is asking us to solve for the time of flight and the range of the rock.
Let's start by finding the total time it takes for the rock to land on the ground. We can use this constant acceleration kinematic equation to solve for the displacement in the y-direction:
We have these known variables:
- (v_0)_y = 0 m/s
- a_y = -9.8 m/s²
- Δx_y = -20 m
And we are trying to solve for t (time). Therefore, we can plug these values into the equation and solve for t.
- -20 = 0t + 1/2(-9.8)t²
- -20 = 1/2(-9.8)t²
- -20 = -4.9t²
- t = 4.08 sec
The time it takes for the rock to reach the ground is 4.08 seconds.
Now we can use this time in order to solve for the displacement in the x-direction. We will be using the same equation, but this time it will be in terms of the x-direction.
List out known variables:
- v_0 = 10 m/s
- t = 4.08 s
- a_x = 0 m/s
We are trying to solve for:
By using the same equation, we can plug these known values into it and solve for Δx.
- Δx = 10 * 4.08 + 1/2(0)(4.08)²
- Δx = 10 * 4.08
- Δx = 40.8 m
The rock lands 40.8 m from the base of the cliff.
Answer:
A bug must swim as fast as the wave speed to keep up with the waves it produces. Moreso, a boat must be moving faster than the waves it creates to produce a bow wave.
