Defiance Drake, Space Adventurer, desperately needs to reach a cargo vessel 100m away, or run out of air and die in deep space.

For our purposes, there are two relevant directions, the direction Defiance is traveling in (the x-direction, at 1 m/s), and direction of the cargo ship's motion, which is perpendicular to her motion (y-direction, 10 m/s). Defiance uses her jet boots, choosing to accelerate directly in the x-direction at 0.25g (she starts at (x=100,y=0)). If the cargo vessel is 25 m long, and its nose cone starts at x=0,y=0, will Defiance reach the ship or miss? If she misses, how should she have chosen her path (assume she cannot exceed 1 g)?

She misses. She should have accelerated faster in order to get to her target.

A stuffed toy with a mass of 0.900 kilograms sits on the edge of a bed at a height of 0.830 if the toy falls off the bed what wi
Olenka [21]
Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.

Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).

At the start:

ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J

Use wave equation calculate the speed of sound in the air if frequency of 110 hz has a wave length of 3 m
kirill115 [55]
Answer = 330 m/s

The wave equation is as follows:

Wave speed = wavelength x frequency

The known values are:
Wavelength = 3m
Frequency = 110 Hz

Substitute the known values into the wave equation to find the wave speed.

Wave speed = 3 x 110

Wave speed = 330 m/s

How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?
Lapatulllka [165]
To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.

If the resultant force acting on a 2.0 kg object is equal to (3.0î + 4.0ĵ) N, what is the change in kinetic energy as the object
12345 [234]

Answer:

ΔK = 24 joules.

Explanation:

ΔK = Work done on the object

Work is equal to the dot product of force supplied and the displacement of the object.

W = F * Δs

Δs can be found by subtracting the vectors (7.0, -8.0) and (11.0, -5.0), which is written as Δs = (11.0 - 7.0, -5.0 - -8.0) which equals (4.0, 3.0).

This gives us

W = < 3, 4 > * < 4, 3 > = (3*4)+(4*3) = 24 J
