Answer:

The one which falls on feet.

Explanation:

Because it exerts higher pressure as

P= F/ A

Larger the area less will be the pressure and less is the area larger will be the pressure.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

(a). The width of the river is 90.5 m.

The current speed of the river is 3.96 m.

(b). The shortest time is 15.0 sec and we would end 59.4 m east of our starting point.

Explanation:

Given that,

Constant speed = 6.00 m/s

Time = 20.1 sec

Speed = 9.00 m/s

Time = 11.2 sec

We need to write a equation for to travel due north across the river,

Using equation for north

$v^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{t^2}$

Put the value in the equation

$6.00^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{(20.1)^2}$

$36-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{404.01}$ ....(I)

We need to write a equation for to travel due south across the river,

Using equation for south

$v^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{t^2}$

Put the value in the equation

$9.00^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{(11.2)^2}$

$81-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{125.44}$ ....(II)

(a). We need to calculate the wide of the river

Using equation (I) and (II)

$45=\dfrac{w^2}{125.44}-\dfrac{w^2}{404.01}$

$45=w^2(0.00549)$

$w^2=\dfrac{45}{0.00549}$

$w=\sqrt{\dfrac{45}{0.00549}}$

$w=90.5$

We need to calculate the current speed

Using equation (I)

$36-c^2=\dfrac{(90.5)^2}{(20.1)^2}$

$36-c^2=20.27$

$c^2=20.27-36$

$c=\sqrt{15.73}$

$c=3.96\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the shortest time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{90.5}{6}$

$t=15.0\ sec$

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

$d=vt$

$d=3.96\times15.0$

$d=59.4\ m$

Hence, (a). The width of the river is 90.5 m.

The current speed of the river is 3.96 m.

(b). The shortest time is 15.0 sec and we would end 59.4 m east of our starting point.

Driving along in your car, you take your foot off the gas, and your speedometer shows a reduction in speed. Describe an inertial

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

v ’= v + v₀

a system can be another vehicle moving in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

In an inertial reference frame the speed of the vehicle is given by the Galileo transformational

v ’= v - v₀

where v 'is the speed with respect to the mobile system, which moves with constant speed, v is the speed with respect to the fixed system and vo is the speed of the mobile system.

The vehicle's speedometer measures the harvest of a fixed system on earth, in this system v decreases, for a system where v 'increases it has to be a system in which the mobile system moves in the negative direction of the x axis, whereby the transformation ratio is

v ’= v + v₀

Such a system can be another vehicle moving in the opposite direction.

nalin [4]

<span>1.7 rad/s The key thing here is conservation of angular momentum. The system as a whole will retain the same angular momentum. The initial velocity is 1.7 rad/s. As the person walks closer to the center of the spinning disk, the speed will increase. But I'm not going to bother calculating by how much. Just remember the speed will increase. And then as the person walks back out to the rim to the same distance that the person originally started, the speed will decrease. But during the entire walk, the total angular momentum remained constant. And since the initial mass distribution matches the final mass distribution, the final angular speed will match the initial angular speed.</span>
