As part of an interview for a summer job with the Coast Guard, you are asked to help determine the search area for two sunken sh

ips by calculating their velocity just after they collided. According to the last radio transmission from the 40,000-ton luxury liner, the Hedonist, it was going due west at a speed of 20 knots in calm seas through a rare fog just before it was struck broadside by the 60,000-ton freighter, the Ironhorse, which was traveling north at 10 knots. The transmission also noted that when the freighter's bow pierced the hull of the liner, the two ships stuck together and sank together.

Answer:37^{\circ} North of west

Explanation:

Given

40,000-ton luxury line traveling 20 knots towards west and

60,000 ton freighter traveling towards North with 10 knots

suppose v is the common velocity after collision

conserving momentum in west direction

20\times 40,000=(20,000+60,000)v\cos \theta

suppose the final velocity makes \theta angle with x axis

v\cos \theta =10----1

Conserving Momentum in North direction

10\times 60,000=80,000\times v\sin\theta

v\sin \theta =\frac{15}{2}----2

divide 1 and 2

\tan \theta =\frac{3}{4}

\theta =37^{\circ}

so search in the area 37^{\circ} North of west to find the ship

Find an expression for the electric field e⃗ at the center of the semicircle. hint: a small piece of arc length δs spans a small
ahrayia [7]
Let l = Q/L = linear charge density. The semi-circle has a length L which is half the circumference of the circle. So w can relate the radius of the circle to L by 

<span>C = 2L = 2*pi*R ---> R = L/pi </span>

<span>Now define the center of the semi-circle as the origin of coordinates and define a as the angle between R and the x-axis. </span>

<span>we can define a small charge dq as </span>

<span>dq = l*ds = l*R*da </span>

<span>So the electric field can be written as: </span>

<span>dE =kdq*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>dE = k*I*R*da*(cos(a)/R^2 I_hat + sin(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = k*I*(sin(a)/R I_hat - cos(a)/R^2 j_hat) </span>

<span>E = pi*k*Q/L(sin(a)/L I_hat - cos(a)/L j_hat)</span>

A positively-charged object with a mass of 0.129 kg oscillates at the end of a spring, generating ELF (extremely low frequency)
9966 [12]

Answer:308 N/m

Explanation:

Given

mass\left ( m\right )=0.129 kg

wavelength\left ( \lambda \right )=3.86\times 10^7

We know frequency =\frac{c}{\lambda }=\frac{3\times 10^8}{3.86\tmes 10^7}

f=7.772 Hz

As the frequency of radio waves is same as the frequency at which object oscillates

f=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

7.772=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}

7.772\times 2\times \pi =\sqrt{\frac{k}{0.129}}

k=307.70\approx 308 N/m

What unita are used to measure electrical current​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

It's called an ampere!

Explanation:

The SI unit of electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. The ampere (symbol: A) is an SI base unit Electric current is measured using a device called an ammeter.
