What sound signal tells a river lock attendant that you wish to go through the lock?

1 answer:

6 0

In order to tell a river lock attendant that you wish to go through the lock, you should sound one prolonged blast followed by one short blast.

You should wait about 400 feet away from the lock and wait for the flashing light signal that allows you to enter.
Also note that commercial traffic always have the first priority in entering the locks.

An unknown additional charge q3 is now placed at point B, located at coordinates (0 m, 15.0 m ). Find the magnitude and sign of

Finger [1]

The first part of the question is:

Two point charges are placed on the x axis. (Attached file)The first charge, q1 = 8.00 nC , is placed a distance 16.0 m from the origin along the positive x axis; the second charge, q2 = 6.00 nC , is placed a distance 9.00 m from the origin along the negative x axis.

Answer:

q3 = +0.3nc

Explanation:

Due to the vector symbols in the solution, I've decided to attach the explanation to this answer.

While skateboarding at 19 km/h, Alana throws a tennis ball at 11 km/h to her friend Oliver. If Alana is the reference frame, the

statuscvo [17]

When Alana moving 19km/h, a stationary object will be perceived by her as moving toward her with 19km/h velocity. If the object is not stationary(velocity isn't zero), the speed will increase by the object velocity.

the relative speed of the tennis ball=
the speed of Alana + true speed of the tennis ball
19km/h+ 11km/h= 30km/h

A 129-kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.51 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 67.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

I = 274.75 kg-m²

Explanation:

given,

mass of horizontal platform = 129 Kg

radius of the disk = 1.51 m

mass of the person(m_p) = 67.5 Kg

standing at distance(r_p) = 1.09 m

mass of dog(m_d) = 25.3 Kg

sitting near the person(r_d) = 1.37 m from center

moment of inertia = ?

Moment of inertia of disc = $\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2$

Moment of inertia of the system

$I = MOI\ of\ disk + m_p r_p^2 + m_d r_d^2$

$I = \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2 + m_p r_p^2 + m_d r_d^2$

$I = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 129 \times 1.51^2 + 67.5 \times 1.09^2 + 25.3\times 1.37^2$

I = 274.75 kg-m²

A mass accelerates uniformly when the resultant force on it:

WARRIOR [948]

F = ma
So if you want the "a" to stay constant (as it is then uniform acceleration), the F must also be constant to apply a constant force.
