Answer:
t = 180 / 1.4 = 129 sec (time to swim horizontally across river)
S = 129 sec * V where V is speed of current and S is the distance he will be carried downstream
The problem does not specify V the speed of the river
Answer:
E=252J
Explanation:
The total mechanical energy of an object or system is given by:
E mech=K+U
Where K is the kinetic energy of the object and U is the potential energy of the object. The carriage, sitting motionless at the top of the hill, has only potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy is given by:
Ug=mgh
Where m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, and h is the height of the object above some specific reference point, in this case the ground 21 m below.
The weight of a stationary object at the surface of the earth is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.
W=→Fg=mg
We are given that the carriage weighs 12 N, therefore mg=12N.
Ug=12N⋅21m
⇒Ug=252Nm=252J

Answer:

Explanation:
Given:
dimension of uniform plate, 
mass of plate, 
Now we find the moment of inertia about the center of mass of the rectangular plate is given as:

where:
length of the plate
breadth of the plate


We know that the center of mass of the rectangular plane is at its geometric center which is parallel to the desired axis XX' .
Now we find the distance between the center of mass and the corner:


Now using parallel axis theorem:



Answer:
S = 122.5m
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²
Time, t = 5 seconds
Since it's a free fall, initial velocity, u = 0
To find the displacement, we would use the second equation of motion given by the formula;

Where;
- S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.
- u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.
- t represents the time measured in seconds.
- a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
Substituting into the equation, we have;

S = 122.5m.
Answer:

Explanation:
Assume that the distance travelled initially is d.
In order to stop the block you need some external force which is friction.
If we use the law of energy conservation:

a)
Looking at the formula you can see that the mass doesn't affect the distance travelled, as lng as the initial velocity is constant (Which indicates that the force must be higher to push the block to the same speed) therefore the distance is the same.
b) If the velocity is doubled, then the distance travelled is multiplied by 4, because the distance deppends on the square of the velocity.
