Answer:

B

Explanation:

The sailor, the boat and the wrench are all moving at he same constant rate, so the wrench will appear to fall straight down. This due to that fact there is no relative motion among them and all are at rest w.r.t to one another. Hence the correct answer would be B.

High-altitude mountain climbers do not eat snow, but always melt it first with a stove. To see why, calculate the energy absorbe
Vikki [24]

Answer:

a) Q=467443.8\ J

b) Q_m=299700\ J

c) Q_2=131859\ J

Explanation:

Given:

  • specific heat of ice, c_i=2100\ J.kg^{-1}.^{\circ}C^{-1}
  • latent heat of fusion of ice, L=333000\ J.kg^{-1}
  • specific heat of water, c_w=4186\ J.kg^{-1}.^{\circ}C^{-1}

(a)

  • mass of snow, m_s=0.9\ kg
  • initial temperature of snow, T_{is}=-15^{\circ}C
  • Final temperature of the consumed mass, T_f=37^{\circ}C

<u>Now the energy absorbed from the body after eating this snow:</u>

Q=m_s.c_i.\Delta T_i+m_s.L+m_s.c_w.\Delta T_w

Q=0.9\times 2100\times (0-(-15))+0.9\times 333000+0.9\times 4186\times (37-0)

Q=467443.8\ J

(b)

<u>Energy absorbed from the body in melting the ice is the total latent heat:</u>

Q_m=m_s.L

Q_m=0.9\times 333000

Q_m=299700\ J

(c)

  • initial temperature of water, T_{iw}=2^{\circ}C
  • final temperature of water, T_{iw}=37^{\circ}C

<u>Now, the amount of energy invested by body for the water at this condition:</u>

Q_2=m_s.c_w.\Delta T_2

Q_2=0.9\times 4186\times (37-2)

Q_2=131859\ J

We're going to remedy it with the parallelogram law. 
\alpha = one hundred eighty - 30 - 70 = eighty degrees
R = sqrt(2^2 + 3^2 - 2(2)(three) cos(80)
R = three.30 kN, we can conclude now that the value of the ensuing of R is 3.30 kN

sin\beta/3 = sin(eighty)/three.304 = 63.4 stages

3.3 kN 
180 + 33.4 = 213.4 degrees
63.4 - 30 = 33.4

You spy on an anchor on the bottom of a lake. What is the direction and amount of force the water exerts on it: a) zero
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

c) up, less than the weight of the anchor

Explanation:

An object floats when the weight of the water the object displaces is equal to the weight of the object. In this case the weight of the anchor and the weight of the water it displaces is not the same so it sinks. Buoyancy is the force that acts on body when it is in water.

When buoyancy is less than the force that the object is generating due to gravity the object sinks. Buoyancy always acts up.

What is the formula that is used to find the velocity of a wave?
Hoochie [10]

Answer: Wave speed is related to wavelength and wave frequency by the equation: Speed = Wavelength x Frequency. This equation can be used to calculate wave speed when wavelength and frequency are known.
