Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

A series RC circuit contains a 1,000 ohm resistor and a 0.025 microfarad capacitor. What is the time constant of this circuit?

stiks02 [169]

The RC time constant, also called tau, the time constant (in seconds) of an RC circuit, is equal to the product of the circuit resistance (in ohms) and the circuit capacitance (in farads), i.e.

$\tau = RC$

Here,

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

Replacing we have that

$\tau = (1000)(0.025*10^{6})$

$\tau = 25*10^{-6}$

$\tau = 25\mu s$

Therefore the time constant of this circuit is $\tau = 25\mu s$

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock as you prepare to dock, which line should you secure first?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Bow Line

Explanation:

If the wind or current is pushing your boat away from the dock, bow line should be secured first.

1- We should cast off the bow and stern lines.

2-With the help of an oar or boat hook, keep the boat clear of the dock.

3-Leave the boat on its own for sometime and let the wind or current carry the boat away from the dock.

4 - As you see there is sufficient clearance, shift into forward gear and slowly leave the area.

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done

Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

$A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)$

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and $\alpha$ is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.
