<u>Answer</u>:

The stream flowing  at a speed of 2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given:  

Distance = 2km (both in upstream and downstream)  

The speed in still water be x km/hr.  

The speed in upstream = 4-x  

Speed in downstream = 4+x  

Solution:

We know that, Speed = distance/time  

So, Time = distance/speed

Therefore,  

2=\left(\frac{2}{4-x}\right)+\left(\frac{2}{4+x}\right)

2=\frac{2(4+x)+2(4-x)}{(4-x)(4+x)}

2(4-x)(4+x)=2(4+x)+2(4-x)

2(4-x)(4+x)=2(4+x+4-x)

By cancelling 2 on both sides,

16-x^{2}=8

x^{2}=16-8=8

x=\sqrt{8}

x=2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}

Result:

Thus the speed of the stream is 2.828 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{hr}

The ceiling of your lecture hall is probably covered with acoustic tile, which has small holes separated by about 5.9 mm. Using
timurjin [86]

Answer:

45.88297 m

Violet

Explanation:

x = Gap between holes = 5.9 mm

\lambda = Wavelength = 527 nm

D = Diameter of eye = 5 mm

L= Distance of observer from holes

From Rayleigh criteria we have the relation

\frac{x}{L}=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{xD}{1.22\lambda}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{5.9\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 527\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow L=45.88297\ m

A person could be 45.88297 m from the tile and still resolve the holes

Resolving them better means increasing the distance between the observer and the holes. It can be seen here that the distance is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Violet has a lower wavelength than red so, violet light would resolve the holes better.

a 1-kg discus is thrown with a velocity of 19 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees from the vertical direction. calculate the vertical
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Vx =  10.9 m/s ,  Vy = 15.6 m/s

Explanation:

Given velocity V= 19 m/s

the angle 35 ° is taken from Y-axis so the angle with x-axis will be 90°-35° = 55°

θ = 55°

to Find Vx = ? and Vy= ?

Vx = V cos θ

Vx = 19 m/s  × cos 55°

Vx =  10.9 m/s

Vx = V sin θ

Vy = 19 m/s  × sin 55°

Vy = 15.6 m/s

A wire along the z axis carries a current of 4.9 A in the z direction Find the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

<h2>0.069 N, in the X direction</h2>

Explanation:

According to Flemming's left hand rule, it sates that if the first three fingers of the left hand are held mutually at right angles to one another, the fore finger will point in the direction of magnetic field, the middle finger will point in direction of current, while the thumb will point to the direction of force.

Mathematically the law is stated as

F= BIL

given data

Magnetic field B=  0.43T

Current I= 4.9 A

length of conductor L= 3.3cm to meter , 3.3/100=  0.033 m

Applying the formula the force is calculated as

F= 0.43*4.9* 0.033= 0.069 N

According to Flemming's rule the direction of all parameters are mutually perpendicular to one another, then the Force is in the X direction
