A child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0.

6 km from the shore and 2.5 km upstream from the dock. A rescue boat with speed 24.8 km/hr (with respect to the water) sets off from the dock at the optimum angle to reach the child as fast as possible. How far from the dock does the boat reach the child?

In a problem where a child is danger form drowning from a river who has a current of 3.1km/hr to east and the child is 0.6km fro the shore and the upstream is 2,5km from the dock. So base on the question the boat with a speed of 24.8 km/hr is 1.9 km because the child is 0.6 km off the dock so 2.5 minus 0.6

A block of mass M is connected by a string and pulley to a hanging mass m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between block M a
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

a)  y = 0.98 t², t=1s y= 0.98 m,  

b) he two blocks must move the same distance

c) v = 1.96 m / s,  d)  a = -1.96 m / s², e)  x = 0.98 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Newton's second law

Big Block

Y axis

             N-W = 0

             N = M g

X axis

             T- fr = Ma

the friction force has the expression

             fr = μ N

             fr = μ Mg

small block

             w- T = m a

             

we write the system of equations

             T - fr = M a

             mg - T = m a

we add and resolved

             mg-  μ Mg = (M + m) a

             a = g \ \frac{m - \mu M}{m+M}

             a = 9.8 \ \frac{10- 0.2 \ 20}{ 10 \ +\ 20}

             a = 9.8 (6/30)

             a = 1.96 m / s²

a) now we can use the kinematic relations

             y = v₀ t + ½ a t²

the blocks come out of rest so their initial velocity is zero

             y = ½ a t²

             y = ½ 1.96 t²

             y = 0.98 t²

for t = 1s y = 0.98 m

       t = 2s y = 1.96 m

b) Time is a scale that is the same for the entire system, the question should be oriented to how far the big block will move.

As the curda is in tension the two blocks must move the same distance

c) the velocity of the block M

           v = vo + a t

           v = 0 + 1.96 t

for t = 1 s v = 1.96 m / s

       t = 2 s v = 3.92 m / s

d) the deceleration if the chain is cut

when removing the chain the tension becomes zero

           -fr = M a

          - μ M g = M a

          a = - μ g

          a = - 0.2 9.8

          a = -1.96 m / s²

e) the distance to stop the block is

         v² = vo² - 2 a x

        0 = vo² - 2a x

        x = vo² / 2a

        x = 1.96² / 2 1.96

        x = 0.98 m

the time to travel this distance is

        v = vo - a t

        t = vo / a

        t = 1.96 /1.96

        t = 1 s

Given parameters:

Mass on earth  = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

         Weight  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

 This translated gives \frac{9.8}{2}   = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight =  mass x acceleration due to gravity  = 50 x 4.9  = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

A student has a thin copper beaker containing 100 g of a pure metal in the solid state. The metal is at 215°C, its exact melting
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The metal will melt but their will be no change in temperature.

Explanation:

The metal is at its melting temperature which means it is still in solid phase but have to cross the enthalpy of its condensation at this same temperature to convert into liquid phase.

<u>On supplying heat, the metal's temperature will not change as the heat will be required as enthalpy of condensation to melt the solid to liquid at the melting temperature.</u>
