Answer:24 m

Explanation:

Given

Distance of Fran from home is 7 miles

Distance between Ben and Fran is 1 mile more than the distance of ben from home

let distance of ben from home is x miles

therefore distance between ben and Fran is x+1 miles

using Pythagoras

7^2+x^2=(x+1)^2

49+x^2=x^2+1+2x

48=2 x

x=24

A space probe is fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 2.05 104 m/s. What will its speed be wh
Elanso [62]

Answer:

The value is  v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  initial speed is u =  2.05 *10^{4} \  m/s

 Generally the total energy possessed by the space probe when on earth is mathematically represented as

             T__{E}} =  KE__{i}} +  KE__{e}}

Here  KE_i is the kinetic energy of the space probe due to its initial speed which is mathematically represented as

          KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  u^2

=>       KE_i =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  (2.05 *10^{4})^2

=>       KE_i =  2.101 *10^{8} \ \ m \ \ J

And  KE_e is the kinetic energy that the space probe requires to escape the Earth's gravitational pull , this is mathematically represented as

       KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v_e^2

Here v_e is the escape velocity from earth which has a value v_e =  11.2 *10^{3} \  m/s

=>    KE_e =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  (11.3 *10^{3})^2

=>    KE_e =  6.272 *10^{7} \  \  m  \ \   J

Generally given that at a position that is very far from the earth that the is Zero, the kinetic energy at that position is mathematically represented as

        KE_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

Generally from the law energy conservation we have that

        T__{E}} =  KE_p

So

       2.101 *10^{8}  m  +  6.272 *10^{7}  m  =   \frac{1}{2}  *  m *  v^2

=>     5.4564 *10^{8} =   v^2

=>     v =  \sqrt{5.4564 *10^{8}}

=>     v  =  2.3359 *10^{4} \ m/s

A triangular plate with height 6 ft and a base of 7 ft is submerged vertically in water so that the top is 2 ft below the surfac
xenn [34]

Answer:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)  } \, dy = 7875 lb

Explanation:

For this problem to be easier to calculate, we can represent the triangle as a right triangle whose right angle is located at the origin of a coordinate system. (See picture attached).

With this disposition of the triangle, we can start finding our integral. The hydrostatic force can be set as an integral with the following shape:

\int\limits^a_bγhxdy

we know that γ=62.5 lb/ft^{3}

from the drawing, we can determine the height (or depth under the water) of each differential area is given by:

h=8-y

x can be found by getting the equation of the line, which we'll get by finding the slope of the line and using one of the points to complete the equation:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x{1}}

when substituting the x and y-values given on the graph, we get that the slope is:

m=\frac{0-6}{7-0}=-\frac{6}{7}

once we got this slope, we can substitute it in the point-slope form of the equation:

y_{2}-y_{1}=m(x_{2}-x_{1})

which yields:

y-6=-\frac{6}{7}(x-0)

which simplifies to:

y-6=-\frac{6}{7}x

we can now solve this equation for x, so we get that:

x=-\frac{7}{6}y+7

with this last equation, we can substitute everything into our integral, so it will now look like this:

\int\limits^6_0{(62.5)(8-y)(-\frac{7}{6}y+7)}\,dy

Now that it's all written in terms of y we can now simplify it, so we get:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)}dy

we can now proceed and evaluate it.

When using the power rule on each of the terms, we get the integral to be:

62.5[\frac{7}{18}y^{3}-\frac{49}{6}y^{2}+56y]^{6}_{0}

By using the fundamental theorem of calculus we get:

62.5[(\frac{7}{18}(6)^{3}-\frac{49}{6}(6)^{2}+56(6))-(\frac{7}{18}(0)^{3}-\frac{49}{6}(0)^{2}+56(0))]

When solving we get:

62.5\int\limits^6_0 {(\frac{7}{6}y^{2}-\frac{49}{3}y+56)  } \, dy = 7875 lb

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 2.99 × 108 m/s, and the speed of light through a piece of glass is approximately
exis [7]

Option (b) is correct.The index of refraction for the glass is 1.52

Explanation:

velocity of light in vacuum= C= 2.99 x 10⁸m/s

Velocity of light in glass = V= 1.97 x 10⁸m/s

The refractive index is given by n=\frac{c}{v}

n= 2.99 x 10⁸/1.97 x 10⁸m/s

n= 1.52

Thus the refractive index of glass is 1.52
