5. A family of ducks is swimming in a pond at a speed of 3 m/s when a gust of wind hits them. By the time they reach the other s

ide of the lack, the ducks are moving at a speed of 7 m/s. How long did it take for them to cross the lake if they accererated at a rate of 1 m/s2

Answer:

The time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

Explanation:

Given data,

The initial speed of the ducks, u = 3 m/s

The final speed of the ducks, v = 7 m/s

The acceleration of the duck, a = 1 m/s²

The formula for the acceleration is,

                               a = (v - u) / t

∴                               t = (v - u) / a

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                t = (7 - 3) / 1

                                  = 4 s

Hence, the time taken by the duck to cross the lake is, t= 4 s

Otrada [13]
List out all the variables that you do know; 

acceleration=-9.8 ms⁻¹ (this remains constant on Earth)
Final velocity=?
Displacement (s)= -2.1 m 
Initial Velocity(u)=2.5 ms⁻¹

v²=u²+2as 
v²=(2.5)²+2(-9.8)(-2.1)
v²=47.41 
v=√47.41 
v=6.88549 ≈ 6.9 ms⁻¹ 

Hope I helped :)

An air-plane has an effective wing surface area of 17.0 m² that is generating the lift force. In level flight the air speed over
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Surface area A= 17m²

The speed at the top v" = 66m/s

Speed beneath is v' =40 m/s

The density of air p =1.29kg/m³

Weight of plane?

Assuming that,

the height difference between the top and bottom of the wind is negligible and we can ignore any change in gravitational potential energy of the fluid.

Using Bernoulli equation

P'+ ½pv'²+ pgh' = P'' + ½pv''² + pgh''

Where

P' is pressure at the bottom in N/m²

P" is pressure at the top in N/m²

v' is velocity at the bottom in m/s

v" is velocity at the top in m/s

Then, Bernoulli equation becomes

P'+ ½pv'² = P'' + ½pv''²

Rearranging

P' — P'' = ½pv"² —½pv'²

P'—P" = ½p ( v"² —v'²)

P'—P" = ½ × 1.29 × (66²-40²)

P'—P" = 1777.62 N/m²

Lift force can be found from

Pressure = force/Area

Force = ∆P ×A

Force = (P' —P")×A

Since we already have (P'—P")

Then, F=W = (P' —P")×A

W = 1777.62 × 17

W = 30,219.54 N

The weight of the plane is 30.22 KN

What . Slides are placed upside down in a slide projector to correct for the _______ image produced. A. magnified B. inverted C.
Yuri [45]
<span>The correct answer is B. Inverted image. This is because of all the lenses and light refractions and what not. The same things happens with our eyes except our brains fix the inverted image automatically. Since there are no brains in a projector, you have to fix it on your own by putting it in reverse.</span>
