Explanation:

Given that,

Mr. Hershman has purchased a farm that is in the shape of a rectangle. The dimensions of the piece of land are 4.3 km by 4.85 km. The area of the rectangle is given by :

$A=l\times b$

$A=4.3\times 4.85$

$A=20.855\ km^2$

So, she must buy $20.855\ km^2$ of area.

Since, $1\ km^2=100\ hectares$

So, the area of rectangle is 2085.5 hectares. Hence, this is the required solution.

Vinil7 [7]

Elastic potential energy is given by formula

$U = \frac{1}{2} kx^2$

here we know that

$k = 800 N/m$

$x = 6 m$

Now using above formula we have

$U = \frac{1}{2}(800)(6^2)$

$U = 14400 J$

So elastic potential energy in the chord is 14400 J

Answer: $37^{\circ}$ North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

$20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta$

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

$v\cos \theta =10----1$

Conserving Momentum in North direction

$10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta$

$v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2$

divide 1 and 2

$\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}$

$\theta =37^{\circ}$

so search in the area $37^{\circ}$ North of west to find the ship

If a proton were released from rest at the sphere's surface, what would be its speed far from the sphere?

balu736 [363]

Let the sphere is having charge Q and radius R

Now if the proton is released from rest

By energy conservation we can say

$U = K$

$\frac{kQe}{R} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$\frac{2kQe}{mR} = v^2$

now take square root of both sides

$v =\sqrt{\frac{2kQe}{mR}}$

so the proton will move by above speed and

here Q = charge on the sphere

R = radius of sphere

$k = 9 * 10^9$

Two equal resistors are connected in series with a 1.50V battery. In order to keep the current at 0.030 A, the resistors much ea

AlexFokin [52]

Answer: 25 Ohms

Explanation:

From this question, the following parameters are given:

Voltage V = 1.5 v

Current I = 0.03A

From Ohm's law;

V = IR

Where R = resultant resistance of the two resistors.

Substitute V and I into the formula and make resultant R the subject of formula.

1.5 = 0.03 × R

R = 1.5/0.03

R = 50 Ohms

From the question, it is given that Thr two equal resistors are connected in series.

R = R1 + R2

But R1 = R2

50 = 2R1

R1 = 50/2

R1 = 25

R1 = R2 = 25 Ohms

Therefore, the resistors must each have a value of 25 Ohms
