Answer:

D = 30.625 m

Explanation:

given,

Speed of the climber = 1.3 m/s

time = 2.5 s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

initial speed of the kit = 1.3 m/s

velocity of the kit after 2.5 s

using equation of motion

v = u + a t

v = 1.3 + 9.8 x 2.5

v = 25.8 m/s

distance travel by the kit in 2.5 s

v² = u² + 2 g h

25.8² = 1.3² + 2 x 9.8 x h

19.6 h = 663.95

h = 33.875 m

distance travel by the rock climber in 2.5 s

distance = speed of climber x time

h' = 1.3 x 2.5

h' = 3.25 m

Distance between kit and rock climber

D = h - h'

D = 33.875 - 3.25

D = 30.625 m

The kit is 30.625 m below climber.

Suppose a straight 1.00-mm-diameter copper (density = 8.9 x103 kg/m3) wire could just “float” horizontally in air because of the
deff fn [24]
We are given
diameter, d = 1.00 mm
density, ρ = 8.9 x10^3 kg/m3
magnetic field, B = 5.0 x 10^-5 T

We are asked to determine the current that would be carried by the wire
We use the formula
B = I R / A
where I is the current
R is the resistance and R = πρd / A
So,
B = I (πρd /A) / A
B = I πρd / A²

and
A is the area, A = πd²/4
So,
B = I πρd / (πd²/4)²
B = I πρd / (π² d⁴ / 16)
B = 16 I ρ / πd²

Substituting the given and solving for I
5.0 x 10^-5 = 16 I (8.9 x10^3 kg/m3) / π (1 x 10^-3)²
I = 1.1 x 10^-15 A

You are pushing a 60 kg block of ice across the ground. You exert a constant force of 9 N on the block of ice. You let go after
kotykmax [81]

Answer: d = 33 cm or 0.33 m

Explanation: In physics, Work is the amount of energy transferred to an object to make it move. It can be expressed by:

W = F.d.cosθ

F is the force applied to the object, d is the displacement and θ is the angle formed between the force and the displacement.

For the ice block, the angle is 0, i.e., force and distance are at the same direction, so:

W = F.d.cos(0)

W = F.d

To determine d:

d = \frac{W}{F}

d = \frac{3}{9}

d = 0.33 m

The distance d the block ice moved is 33 cm.

How long would it take to walk 10000 miles?
SpyIntel [72]
Well if you take 10 minutes to walk each mile and you don't stop by continuously walking... it would take approximately 69 and a half daysSource(s):<span>10 minutes x 10,000 miles= 100,000 minutes 
100,000 minutes/ 60 minutes (1 hour)= 1,666.66667 hours 

1,666.66667 hours/ 24 hours (1 day)= 69.4444446 days 
69.4444446 days rounds to 69.5 days which means that would be about 2 months and a week.</span>
