To cross the river a swimmer chooses the direction minimizing the amount of time spent in the water. The swimmer swims at a cons

Lynna [10]

Answer:

304 meters downstream

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The speed of the swimmer = 2.00 m/s

The width of the river = 73.0 m

The speed of the river = 8.00 m/s

Therefore;

The direction of the swimmer's resultant velocity = tan⁻¹(8/2) ≈ 75.96° downstream

The distance downstream the swimmer will reach the opposite shore = 4 × 73 = 304 m downstream

The distance downstream the swimmer will reach the opposite shore = 304 m downstream

A mass of 240 grams oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface at a frequency of 2.5 Hz and with amplitude of 4.5 cm.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

(a) The spring constant is 59.23 N/m

(b) The total energy involved in the motion is 0.06 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass, m = 240 g = 0.24 kg

frequency, f = 2.5 Hz

amplitude of the oscillation, A = 4.5 cm = 0.045 m

The angular speed is calculated as;

ω = 2πf

ω = 2 x π x 2.5

ω = 15.71 rad/s

(a) The spring constant is calculated as;

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega ^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m\omega ^2\\\\where;\\\\k \ is \ the \ spring \ constant\\\\k = (0.24) \times (15.71)^2\\\\k = 59.23 \ N/m$

(b) The total energy involved in the motion;

E = ¹/₂kA²

E = (0.5) x (59.23) x (0.045)²

E = 0.06 J

Give two examples of chemical energy being transformed into electrical energy

julsineya [31]

It can be used to create electricity and heat and can be found in propane , jet fuel, gasoline and other products. Wood - Dry wood stores chemical energy . This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is burns, and it is converted into heat, which is also called thermal energy, and light energy. ( hope this be helpful)

Evaluate A car company wants to build a wind-powered car that converts 100 percent of the mechanical energy in the wind to the m

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient. There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 84.0 units and a y-component of -67.0 units.

melomori [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Magnitude = $\sqrt{(x1-y2)^{2} + (x1-x2)^{2} }$

84= $\sqrt{(0- (-67))^{2} + (x-0)^{2} }$

x= +50.67 or -50.67 units

b) We are given that the resultant is entirely in the -ve x direction which means that the y-component of the resultant is 0; It means that the y-component of the next vector = -ve of the y component of the initial vector i.e 67.

To make the magnitude 80 units in the negative x direction where the y component is 0, the x component must be -130.67(-50.67 - 80) as the x component is + 50.67units.

Magnitude = $\sqrt{(0- (67))^{2} + (-130.67)^{2} }$ = 146.85 units

c) The direction vector = 67/146.85 i - 130.67/146.85 j where i corresponds to the vector in y direction and j corresponds to the vector in x direction. Or this vector is at an angle of 180 - $Tan^{-1}(67/130.67)degrees$ i.e 152.85 degrees from the +ve x-axis.
