Three swimmers can swim equally fast relative to the water. They have a race to see who can swim across a flowing river in the l

east time. Swimmer A swims perpendicular to the current and lands on the opposite shore downstream, because the current has swept him in that direction. Swimmer B swims upstream at angle to the current, so that when she reaches the other side, she is straight across from where she started. Swimmer C swims downstream at an angle theta in an attempt to take advantage of the current. Who crosses the river in the least time?

If the intensity of a loud car horn is 0.005 W/m^2 when you are 2 meters away from the source. Calculate the sound intensity lev
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

(c) 97 dB sound intensity level

Explanation:

We have given the intensity of the loud car horn I=0.005w/m^2

We know that I_O=10^{-12}w/m^2

Now the sound intensity level is given by \beta =10log\frac{I}{I_0}=10log\frac{0.005}{10^{-12}}=96.98dB , which is nearly equal to 97

So the sound intensity level will be 97 dB

So option (c) will be the correct option

Why do fundamental needs form the foundation of Maslow’s hierarchy
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

After we satisfy our basic needs, they no longer serve as motivators and we can begin to satisfy higher-order needs. Maslow organized human needs into a pyramid that includes (from lowest-level to highest-level) physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization needs.

You throw a stone horizontally at a speed of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff that is 78.4 m high.
Monica [59]

a)You throw a stone horizontally at a speed of 5.0 m/s from the top of a cliff that is 78.4 m high.

from above statement we got

height = 78.4 m

since the ball is thrown, so its vertical velocity would be zero

u = 0

taking g = 9.8m/s^2

now, using the equation of motion

h = ut + gt^2/2

now putting all the values in it

we got ,

78.4 = 9.8 * t^2/ 2

by solving we got,

t = 4 sec

b) now, since along the horizontal , no force acting and accelaration is zero so

R = ut , R is RANGE

R = 5 * 4

range =  20 m

c)  vertical components of the stone’s velocity just before it hits the ground = v sin θ =

horizontal   components of the stone’s velocity  just before it hits the ground = v cos θ
