Answer:

William Ferrel created a tide-prediction machine.

Explanation:

William Ferrel create a machine in late 19th century that was the best combination of mechanical parts and computer coding.
It was a mechanical analog computer that could predict the ebb of tides and even the height of tides that could be irregular.
It was widely used for marine networks and navigation. Later on many improvisations and additional features were added on it.
During the world war times, this tide prediction machine was of great use for military purpose.

Imagine a small child whose legs are half as long as her parent’s legs. If her parent can walk at maximum speed V, at what maxim

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

Explanation:

We know that speed is given by dividing distance by time or multiplying length and frequency. The speed of the father will be given by Lf where L is the length of the father’s leg ad f is the frequency.

We know that frequency of simple pendulum follows that $f=\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}$

Now, the speed of the father will be $V=Lf= L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})$ while for the child the speed will be $v=\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})$

The ratio of the father’s speed to the child’s speed will be

$\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})}{ L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})}\\\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\\\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

Alfredo makes a diagram to organize his notes about charging objects.

konstantin123 [22]

The region marked X in the diagram shows that the objects have the same charge.

<h3>What is conduction?</h3>

The term conduction has to do with the manner of charging in which charge is passed from one object to another. Induction involves charging objects without the objects touching each other.

The region marked X in the diagram shows that the objects have the same charge.
