Traveling against currents usually takes longer. Kinda like walking against the wind, you feel the heaviness against your jacket as you push through it. Where when you walking with the wind, it kind of gives your a push. Same for with currents.

A bug is sitting on the edge of a rotating disk. At what angular velocity will the bug slide off the disk if its radius is 0.241
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

ω = 3.61 rad/sec

Explanation:

Firstly, we should know that the bug will not slip if friction can provide sufficient opposing force.

μmg = mv^2/r = mω^2r

Thus;

μg = ω^2r

ω^2 = μg/r

ω = √(μg/r)

ω = √(0.321 * 9.8)/0.241

ω = √(13.05)

= 3.61 rad/sec

Which measure of an earthquake depends on how close you are to the focus?
Vsevolod [243]
<span>The intensity of an earthquake is dependent on one's proximity to the focus of the quake, also called the "epicenter" and is based on observations of the shaking of the ground on humans, structures, and the natural landscape.</span>

2. As a pendulum swings, its energy is constantly converted between kinetic
Alex

Answer:

at point F

Explanation:

To know the point in which the pendulum has the greatest potential energy you can assume that the zero reference of the gravitational energy (it is mandatory to define it) is at the bottom of the pendulum.

Then, when the pendulum reaches it maximum height in its motion the gravitational potential energy is

U = mgh

m: mass of the pendulum

g: gravitational constant

The greatest value is obtained when the pendulum reaches y=h

Furthermore, at this point the pendulum stops to come back in ts motion and then the speed is zero, and so, the kinetic energy (K=1/mv^2=0).

A) answer, at point F

Why do ice cubes always float at the top of a glass of water?
AnnZ [28]

Because water is a very very very very very unusual substance ... It's
the only known substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid
form near the same temperature.

In other words, water is the only known substance for which a solid lump
of it floats in a liquid glass of it.

If that were not true ... if the behavior of the density of water around its
freezing temperature were the same as the density of all other known
substances ... then life on Earth would be impossible.

Think about that for a while !  Ya gotta admire whoever it was that designed water !

4. A hiker leaves camp and using a compass walks 4 km East, 6 km South, 3 km East, 5 km North, 10 km West, 8 km North and 3 km S
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Because the hiker walked directly west and then directly north the two legs of the hike forms a right triangle. Therefore we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

 

c=5

The hiker is 5km from camp and should head in a generally south-east direction
