A cruise ship is moving at constant speed through the water. The vacationers on the ship are eager to arrive at their next desti

nation. They decide to try to speed up the cruise ship by gathering at the bow (the front) and running together toward the stern (the back) of the ship.(a) While they are running toward the stern, what is the speed of the ship?1.higher than it was before they started running
2. unchanged from what it was before they started running

3. lower than it was before they started running

4. impossible to determine

Answer: 1. higher than it was before they started running

Explanation: As the vacationers run towards the back(stern) of the ship the exerting more pressure against the pressure exerted by the wave supporting the moving ship,the pressure exerted on the moving ship will be increased, leading to a slight increase in the speed of the ship compared to the speed before they started running towards the back(stern) of the ship.

Why isn’t a bird sitting on a high-voltage power line electrocuted? Contrast this with the situation in which a large bird hits
Grace [21]

Answer:

The reason the bird is not electrocuted is due to some facts about circuit:

1. Completeness of circuit- This circuit needs to be

complete in order for current to flow. The bird standing on only one wire has not completed the circuit.

2. A potential difference: Another factor deciding

the direction of flow of current is (electric)

potential. Current always flows from a higher

potential to a lower potential. In other words it

can be said that electrons flow from lower

potential to higher one. (the direction of electric

current is opposite to that of the electrons). So

we need the potential difference for current to

flow. The bird standing on only one wire has no potential difference.

3. Path of least Resistance- Factor that decides

the path a current will flow in case of parallel

paths is the (electric) resistance offered by the

path. Current will always flow in the path that

offers least resistance. The leg of a bird has high resistance.

Explanation:

It has no potential difference as both the legs of bird are touching the same wire at same constant potential. ... If the bird would touch the ground while sitting on the wire or flap its wings and touch another electric wire with a different voltage, then it would get shocked and likely die by electrocution.

while in the other hand, the Bird that touches two wires with it wings at the same time will get electrocuted because it has completed a circuit and the its feathers created a potential difference .

Your electric drill rotates initially at 5.21 rad/s. You slide the speed control and cause the drill to undergo constant angular
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The drill's angular displacement during that time interval is 24.17 rad.

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the electric drill, \omega _i = 5.21 rad/s

angular acceleration of the electric drill, α = 0.311 rad/s²

time of motion of the electric drill, t = 4.13 s

The angular displacement of the electric drill at the given time interval is calculated as;

\theta = \omega _i t \ + \ \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\\\theta = (5.21 \ \times \ 4.13) \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(0.311)(4.13)^2\\\\\theta = (21.5173 ) \ + \ (2.6524)\\\\\theta =24.17 \ rad

Therefore, the drill's angular displacement during that time interval is 24.17 rad.

When sanitizing dishcloths or cutting boards at home using chlorine bleach, how much bleach should be added, per quart of water?
ahrayia [7]

When using chlorine bleach, the proper amount for one gallon of water is 8 ounces, or one cup. Now, since there's 4 quarts in a gallon,divide the 8 ounces by 4. You get 2. So you should put 2 ounces (or 1/4 cup) of chlorine bleach in a quart of water. Hope this helps!

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903
