Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from. Hence, a wind that "blows towards the east", logically should come from the west and is called a "west wind".

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the Westerlies, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Constant speed of Jane=12.6 m/s

a.When Fred can throw the ball 30 m/s

We have to find the angle relative to the horizontal when he throw the ball in order for Sue to see the ball travel vertically upward.

Let $\theta$ be the angle .

Therefore,

$30 cos\theta=12.6$

$cos\theta=\frac{12.6}{30}=0.42$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(0.42)=65.165^{\circ}$

b.We have to find the height to which ball reach.

$v^2-v^2_0=2aS$

$S=\frac{v^2-v^2_0}{2a}=\frac{0-(30 sin65.165)^2}{2(-9.81)}$

$S=37.78 m$

A 32-kg child decides to make a raft out of empty 1.0-L soda bottles and duct tape. Neglecting the mass of the duct tape and pla

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

32 bottles

Explanation:

If we create a free body diagram on the child we have his weight and the bouyant force

W-B=0

They must be equal to mantain equilibrium on the body and he can stay floating, this force is equivalent to the weight of water displaced

W=B=Ww

Mg=mg

32 kg=mass of water displaced

1 kilogram per liter (kg/L) is the density of water, this means that 32 Liters of water are displaced and since the bottles can retain 1 liter, the child needs 32 bottles

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The number of turns of wire needed is 573.8 turns

Explanation:

Given;

maximum emf of the generator, = 190 V

angular speed of the generator, ω = 3800 rev/min =

area of the coil, A = 0.016 m²

magnetic field, B = 0.052 T

The number of turns of the generator is calculated as;

emf = NABω

where;

N is the number of turns

$\omega = 3800 \frac{rev}{min} \times \frac{2\pi}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s } = 397.99 \ rad/s$

$N = \frac{emf}{AB\omega } \\\\N = \frac{190}{0.016 \times 0.052\times 397.99} \\\\N = 573.8 \ turns$

Therefore, the number of turns of wire needed is 573.8 turns
