Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.4 m, depth of 3.5 m, and current speed of 2.2 m/s. The other stre

am is 6.6 m wide and 3.6 m deep, and flows at 2.7 m/s. If the river has width 11.2 m and speed 2.8 m/s, what is its depth

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem on the basis of pinciple that water is incompressible so volume of flow will be equal at every point .

rate of volume flow of one stream

= cross sectional area x velocity

= 8.4 x 3.5 x 2.2 = 64.68 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of other stream

= 6.6 x 3.6 x 2.7

= 64.15 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of rive , if d be its depth

= 11.2 x d x 2.8

= 31.36 d

volume flow of river = Total of volume flow rate of two streams

31.36 d  = 64.15 + 64.68

31.36 d  = 128.83

d = 4.10 m /s .

A 10kg box is sliding at 50m/s. Find the momentum
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The momentum of the ball is 500 kg·m/s

Explanation:

The momentum is given by Mass × Velocity

The given parameters are;

The mass of the box = 10 kg

The velocity by which the box is sliding = 50 m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the ball is given as follows;

The momentum of the ball = 10 kg × 50 m/s = 500 kg·m/s

The momentum of the ball = 500 kg·m/s

Which of the following types of technologies has best helped scientists to study very high-energy objects in outer space, such a
erica [24]

Very high-energy objects and events spit out very high-energy photons, so the instrument you need in order to detect them is the       X-ray telescope. <em>(C)  </em>

Inconveniently, X-ray telescopes only work when they're up in orbit, because X-rays get seriously soaked up in Earth's atmosphere, and most of them never make it down to the surface ... (lucky for us !) .

Vladimir [108]
<span>The first stage in the Gas model of stress is alarm and mobilization. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option “d”. Hans Selye is the person that evolved this model and he has explained this model in complete details.  He has broken down his model into three stages. The first stage involves alarm and mobilization. The second stage includes resistance. The third and the final stage include the exhaustion stage. These are the stages that an organism goes through to restore back the balance when stress is exerted from outside. </span>

A helicopter flies with an air speed of 175 km/h, heading south. The wind is blowing at 85 km/h to the east relative to the grou
spayn [35]

Answer:

154° at 195 km/h

Explanation:

The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.

But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.

This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.

Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.

This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.

Refer to the triangle b1.

The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.

d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)

Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.

To calculate the direction we use,

tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175

So the angle x is,

x = arctan (\frac{85}{175} ) = 25.9°

Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)
