Two ships leave a harbor at the same time, traveling on courses that have an angle of 110∘ between them. If the first ship trave

ls at 22 miles per hour and the second ship travels at 34 miles per hour, how far apart are the two ships after 1.2 hours?

Answer:

49.07 miles

Explanation:

Angle between two ships = 110° = θ

First ship speed = 22 mph

Second ship speed = 34 mph

Distance covered by first ship after 1.2 hours = 22×1.2 = 26.4 miles = b

Distance covered by second ship after 1.2 hours = 34×1.2 = 40.8 miles = c

Here the angle between the two sides of a triangle is 110° so from the law of cosines we get

a² = b²+c²-2bc cosθ

⇒a² = 26.4²+40.8²-2×26.4×40.8 cos110

⇒a² = 2408.4

⇒a = 49.07 miles

If something is 50% efficient, how many joules of wasted energy will there be if 750J of energy is put in?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

375J of wasted energy

Explanation:

Efficiency=work output/work input×100%

50=w.o/750×100

750×50=100w.o

w.o=750×50/100

w.o=75×5

w.o=375J

Wasted energy=750J-375J

=375J

Aliter

If the machine is 50% efficient then it is also 50% inefficient

50%×750J=375J

The amplitude of oscillation is the maximum distance between the oscillating weight and the equilibrium position. Determine the
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The frequency does not depend on the amplitude for any (ideal) mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

In electromagnetism we have that the relation is:

Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.

So the amplitude of the wave does not have any effect here.

For a mechanical system like an harmonic oscillator (that can be used to describe almost any oscillating system), we have that the frequency is:  

f = (1/2*pi)*√(k/m)

Where m is the mass and k is the constant of the spring, again, you can see that the frequency only depends on the physical properties of the system, and no in how much you displace it from the equilibrium position.

This happens because as more you displace the mass from the equilibrium position, more will be the force acting on the mass, so while the "path" that the mass has to travel is bigger, the mas moves faster, so the frequency remains unaffected.

Which of the following are possible causes of mass extinctions that scientists have identified
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

over harvesting, pollution, introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors

Explanation:

The main cause of mass extinction is Humans cause extinction of a species through overharvesting. The second main  cause is pollution ., introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, habitat destruction, overhunting and other influences. Another very important cause of mass extinction is the unsustainable human population growth.

The five mass extinction events are

Ordovician Mass Extinction

Devonian Mass Extinction

 Permian Mass Extinction

Triassic -Jurassic Mass Extinction

and Cretaceous -Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.
