In his motorboat, Bill Ruhberg travels upstream at top speed to his favorite fishing spot, a distance of 120120 mi, in 33 hr.
1 answer:
Answer:
The rate of the boat in still water is 44 mph and the rate of the current is 4 mph
Explanation:
x = the rate of the boat in still water
y = the rate of the current.
Distance travelled = 120 mi
Time taken upstream = 3 hr
Time taken downstream = 2.5 hr
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed upstream
Speed downstream
Adding both the equations
The rate of the boat in still water is <u>44 mph</u> and the rate of the current is <u>4 mph</u>

Answer:
From question (a) and (b) the pendulum motion is perpendicular to the force so the normal force will do no work and the tension in the string of the pendulum will not work
And so
c
An example will be a where a stone is attached to the end of a string and is made to move in a circular motion while keeping the other end of the string in a fixed position
d
A dog walking along a surface which has friction, here the frictional force would acting in the direction of the motion and this would do positive work

Explanation:
The efficiency of a machine is the percentage of energy input that was turned into useful energy.
The power rating of this lamp is (same as
,) meaning that
of energy is supplied to this lamp every second.
The question states that out of that
of energy input would be turned into heat, which is not useful energy output in this scenario. Assuming that all other forms of energy loss is negligible. The rest of the
of energy supplied to this lamp would be turned into useful energy output.
Thus, every second, this lamp would receive of energy input and would outputs
of useful work. The efficiency of this lamp would be:
