Answer: 208.3 s

Explanation:

Hi!

You need to calculate the velocity of the boat relative to the shore, in each trip.

Relative velocities are transformed according to:

$V_{b,s} = V_{b,w} + V_{w,s}\\ V_{b,s} = \text{velocity of boat relative to shore}\\V_{b,w} = \text{velocity of boat relative to water} \\V_{b,w} = \text{velocity of water relative to shore}\\$

Let's take the upstram direction as positive. Water flows downstream, so it's velocity relative to shore is negative , -2 m/s

In the upstream trip, velocity of boat relative to water is positive: 10m/s. But in the downstream trip it is negatoive: -10m/s

In upstream trip we have:

$V_{b,s} = (10 - 2)\frac{m}{s} = 8 ms$

In dowstream we have:

$V_{b,s} = (-10 - 2)\frac{m}{s} = -12 ms$

In both cases the distance travelled is 1000m. Then the time it takes the round trip is:

$T = T_{up} + T_{down} = \frac{1000}{8}s + \frac{1000}{12}s = 208.3 s$

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are $1.86\times10^{8}$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter $D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm$

$D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m$

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

$Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}$

$Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}$

Hence, The number of atoms are $1.86\times10^{8}$ .

I'm walking 1.6m/s to 7-11 and it started to rain so I sped up to 2.7m/s in 1.2

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

$a = \frac{v_f-v_0}{t}$ which is the final velocity minus the initial velocity in the numerator, and the change in time in the denominator. For us:

$a=\frac{2.7-1.6}{1.2}$ so

a = .92 m/s/s (NOT negative because you're speeding up)

A ball has a mass of 1.5kg and is thrown straight up with a speed of 60m/s, what is the ball’s momentum:

madam [21]

Answer:

Assumption: the air resistance on this ball is negligible. Take $g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

a. The momentum of the ball would be approximately $60\;\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ two seconds after it is tossed into the air.

b. The momentum of the ball would be approximately $\rm \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right)$ three seconds after it reaches the highest point (assuming that it didn't hit the ground.) This momentum is smaller than zero because it points downwards.

Explanation:

The momentum $p$ of an object is equal its mass $m$ times its velocity $v$ . That is: $\vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}$ .

Assume that the air resistance on this ball is negligible. If that's the case, then the ball would accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant $g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ . In other words, its velocity would become approximately $10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ more negative every second.

The initial velocity of the ball is $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . After two seconds, its velocity would have become $60\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 2\; \rm s \times \left(-10\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right) = 40\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . The momentum of the ball at that time would be around $p = m \cdot v \approx 60\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

When the ball is at the highest point of its trajectory, the velocity of the ball would be zero. However, the ball would continue to accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant $g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ . That's how the ball's velocity becomes negative.

After three more seconds, the velocity of the ball would be $0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 3\; \rm s \times \left(-10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right) = -30 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . Accordingly, the ball's momentum at that moment would be $p = m \cdot v \approx \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right)$ .

The near point of a farsighted person's uncorrected eyes is 80 cm. what power contact lens should be used to move the near point

makvit [3.9K]

To solve this problem, we will get f and then we will use it to calculate the power.

So, for this farsighted person,
do = 25 cm and di = -80
Therefore:
1/f = (1/25) + (1/-80) = 0.00275 = 0.275 m

Power = 1/f = 1/0.275 = +3.6363 Diopeters.
This means that the lens is converging.
