The world speed record on water was set on October

Physics
1 answer:
Luda [366]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Remember speed is distance divided by time, so if he travels 1000 m in 7.045 s, his speed is

(1000 m)/(7.045 s) = 141.9 m/s.

Note there are 1609 metres in a mile, or 1 mi = 1609 m, so m = 1/1609 mi, or

141.9/1609 mi/s = 0.08822 mi/s. Now, note that 1 h = 3600 s, so the speed is

0.08822*3600 mi/h = 317.6 mi/h.

Microwaves have a higher frequency than radio waves, so why is it that they don't travel faster?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: Energy requirement or consumption also increases as frequency goes higher. Hence, those low-frequency to mid-frequency waves are commonly referred to as radio waves and essentially, they have longer wavelengths. On the other hand, microwaves have higher frequencies and shorter wavelengths.

Explanation: therefore that's why they don't travel faster.

You and your friends find a rope that hangs down 19m from a high tree branch right at the edge of a river. You find that you can
tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of rope L=19\ m

velocity while running v=2\ m/s

when the person jumps off the bank and hang on the rope then we can treat the person as pendulum with Time period T which is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{19}{9.8}}

T=2\pi \times 1.392

T=8.74\ m/s

Greatest Possible distance will be covered when person reaches the other extreme end  of assumed pendulum (velocity=zero)

therefore he must hang on for 0.5 T time

time=0.5\times 8.74=4.37\ s

Energy is conserved. This means that in any system, _________. a) energy is constantly recycled b) total energy input equals tot
tangare [24]

Answer:

b) total energy input equals total energy output

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is a generalization of the conservation of energy in thermal processes. It is based on Joule's conclusion that heat and energy are equivalent. But to get there you have to get around some traps along the way.

From Joule's conclusion we might be tempted to call heat "internal" energy associated with temperature. We could then add heat to the potential and kinetic energies of a system, and call this sum the total energy, which is what it would conserve. In fact, this solution works well for a wide variety of phenomena, including Joule's experiments. Problems arise with the idea of ​​heat "content" of a system. For example, when a solid is heated to its melting point, an additional "heat input" causes the melting but without increasing the temperature. With this simple experiment we see that simply considering the thermal energy measured only by a temperature increase as part of the total energy of a system will not give a complete general law.

Instead of "heat," we can use the concept of internal energy, that is, an energy in the system that can take forms not directly related to temperature. We can then use the word "heat" to refer only to a transfer of energy between a system and its environment. Similarly, the term work will not be used to describe something contained in the system, but describes a transfer of energy from one system to another. Heat and work are, therefore, two ways in which energy is transferred, not energies.

In an isolated system, that is, a system that does not exchange matter or energy with its surroundings, the total energy must remain constant. If the system exchanges energy with its environment but not matter (what is called a closed system), it can do so only in two ways: a transfer of energy either in the form of work done on or by the system, either in the form of heat to or from the system. In the event that there is energy transfer, the change in the energy of the system must be equal to the net energy gained or lost by the environment.

The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors, X, Y and Z. Vector X is along a measured trail and is 1430
poizon [28]

Answer:

  • magnitude : 1635.43 m
  • Angle: 130°28'20'' north of east

Explanation:

First, we will find the Cartesian Representation of the \vec{X} and \vec{Y} vectors. We can do this, using the formula

\vec{A}= | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

where | \vec{A} | its the magnitude of the vector and θ the angle. For  \vec{X} we have:

\vec{X}= 1430 m \ ( \ cos( 42 \°) \ , \ sin (42 \°) \ )

\vec{X}= ( \ 1062.70 m \ , \ 956.86 m \ )

where the unit vector \hat{i} points east, and \hat{j} points north. Now, the \vec{Y} will be:

\vec{Y}= - 2200 m \hat{j} = ( \ 0 \ , \ - 2200 m \ )

Now, taking the sum:

\vec{X} + \vec{Y} + \vec{Z} = 0

This is

\vec{Z} = - \vec{X} - \vec{Y}

(Z_x , Z_y) = - ( \ 1062.70 m \ , \ 956.86 m \ ) - ( \ 0 \ , \ - 2200 m \ )

(Z_x , Z_y) = ( \ - 1062.70 m \ ,  \ 2200 m \ - \ 956.86 m \ )

(Z_x , Z_y) = ( \ - 1062.70 m \ ,  \ 1243.14 m\ )

Now, for the magnitude, we just have to take its length:

|\vec{Z}| = \sqrt{Z_x^2 + Z_y^2}

|\vec{Z}| = \sqrt{(- 1062.70 m)^2 + (1243.14 m)^2}

|\vec{Z}| = 1635.43 m

For its angle, as the vector lays in the second quadrant, we can use:

\theta = 180\° - arctan(\frac{1243.14 m}{ - 1062.70 m})

\theta = 180\° - arctan( -1.1720)

\theta = 180\° - 45\°31'40''

\theta = 130\°28'20''
