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?

A ball thrown with 50N of force accelerates at 25 m/s2.  What is the mass of the ball?
MrRissso [65]
F=ma
Force is 50N. Acceleration is 25 m/s^2.
50N=m*25 m/s^2
Divide both sides by 25.
mass=2 kg

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q  8q / L²

Q = 8q  (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q  (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Calculate the constant acceleration a in g’s which the catapult of an aircraft carrier must provide to produce a launch velocity
goblinko [34]
The solution to the problem is as follows:

<span>First, I'd convert 188 mi/hr to ft/s. You should end up with about ~275.7 ft/s.
 
So now write down all the values you know:

Vfinal = 275.7 ft/s

Vinitial = 0 ft/s

distance = 299ft
</span>
<span>Now just plug in Vf, Vi and d to solve
</span>
<span>Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2 a d 

</span><span>BTW: That will give you the acceleration in ft/s^2. You can convert that to "g"s by dividing it by 32 since 1 g is 32 ft/s^2.</span>

A 5.0 V battery contains 775 C of charge. How much electricity energy can it produce?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

3875J

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the power × time

And it's defined as

Power = IV - I- current and V- voltage

Now quantity of electricity; Q = I × t

Where I is current and t is time

Now Energy = I ×V×t = V× I×t = V× Q;

where Q is quantity of electricity 775C and V is 5.0volt

Hence 775 × (5) =3875J

05. The time required to complete one lap around a perfectly circular track having a radius of 1,835 meters is 86
likoan [24]

Answer:

v = 134.06 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a circular track is 1,835 m

Time required to complete one lap around a perfectly circular track is 86 seconds

We need to find the car's velocity. Velocity is equal to,

v=d/t

On circular path,

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{2\pi \times 1835}{86}\\\\v=134.06\ m/s

So, car's velocity is 134.06 m/s.
