How many times should the power develop by the engine of a ship increases to double is velocity i the resistance of the water to

the motion of the ship increases in proportion to the square of the velocity.
Physics
1 answer:
Setler79 [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

If the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

Explanation:

ship power is roughly proportional to the cube of the speed, so

P ∝ v³

If the speed is doubled, then the power developed becomes

P  ∝ (2)³ = 8 times

Therefore, if the ship speed is doubled, then the power developed is 8 times the initial value.

You could use newton’s second law to calculate the force applied to an object if you knew the objects mass and its _____.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

You could use newton’s second law to calculate the force applied to an object if you knew the objects mass and its <u>acceleration.</u>

Explanation:

By, Newtons second law, the force applied on an object directly varies with the acceleration caused and the mass of the object.

This is given by :

F=m\ a

Where F represents force applied on the object , m represents mass of the object and a represents the acceleration.

In order to calculate force applied on object we require the mass of the object and its acceleration. The force can be calculated by finding the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

3 light-years =________.
KATRIN_1 [288]

               ( 3 yr) · (186,282.397 mile/s) · (86,400 s/day) · (365 day/yr)

           =  (3 · 186,282.397 · 86,400 · 365)  mile

           =      1.762380502 x 10¹³  miles

           =      1.8 x 10¹³  miles    (rounded to the nearest trillion miles)

Two objects with masses m and 3m are connected by a compressed spring so that the energy stored in the spring is 375 joules. If
cluponka [151]

Answer:

281.25 J

Explanation:

We are told that the two objects with masses m and 3m.

Also that energy stored in the spring is 375 joules.

Now, initially the centre of mass of the system took place at rest, it means v1 = v and v2 = v/3

Thus, from principle of conservation of energy, we have;

½mv² + ½(3m)(v/3)² = 375J

(m + 3m/9)½v² = 375

(4/3)m × ½v² = 375

Multiply both sides by ¾ to get;

½mv² = 375 × ¾

½mv² = 281.25 J

Therefore, energy of lighter body is 281.25 J

3. How do astronomers explain the lack of a meteorite in Tunguska? What evidence exists to support this
Vaselesa [24]
No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.

But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.
