A motorboat embarks on a trip, heading downstream in a river in which the current flows at a rate of 1.5m/s. After 30.0 minutes,

the boat has traveled a distance of 24.3 km downstream. How long will it take the boat to travel upstream to its original point of embarkation

Answer:

$t=2413s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Velocity $v=1.5m/s$

Time $t=30min=>30*60=>1800$

Distance $d=24.3km$

Generally the Newton's equation for Speed going down the stream is mathematically given by

$v + u = \frac{d}{t}$

$1.5+v=frac{24300}{1800}$

$v=12m/s$

Therefore

$v + u = \frac{d}{t}$

$t=\frac{24300}{12-1.5}$

$t=2413s$

If Frequency F, velocity v, and density D are considered fundamental units, the dimensional formula for momentum will be :

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Let's see

Momentum be P

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow P=[Frequency]^a[velocity]^b[Density]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [P]=[F]^a[v]^b[D]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow [M^1L^1T^{-1}]=[T^{-1}]^a[L^1T^{-1}]^b[M^1L^{-3}]^c$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a}L^bT^{-b}M^cL^{-3c}$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow MLT^{-1}=T^{-a-b}L^{b-3c}M^c$

On comaparing

c=1

So

b-3c=1
b-3=1
b=1+3
b=4

and

-a-b=-1
-a-4=-1
-a=-1+4=3
a=-3

So the unit is

DV⁴/F³

A teacher asks her students to jump off of the ground. Once the students complete the task, she says, "All of you just made Eart

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

A) Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or continue in its current state of motion except it is acted upon by another force.

Now using this law, when you jump off the ground, the earth will move a tiny bit and accelerate due to the force applied by the jumping.

B) Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of a system is directly proportional to the net external force acting on that system, is in the same direction with it and also inversely proportional to the mass.

In this case, when one jumps, an external force is exerted on the earth and we are told it is directly proportional to the acceleration of the system which in this case it's the earth, then it means that there is some motion by the earth even though you didn't see it move.

C) Newton's third law of motion states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this case the motion of the jumper will lead to an equal and opposite reaction of the earth.

A mountain climber, in the process of crossing between two cliffs by a rope, pauses to rest. She weighs 514 N. As the drawing sh

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$T_L = 155.4 N$

Part b)

$T_R = 379 N$

Explanation:

As we know that mountain climber is at rest so net force on it must be zero

So we will have force balance in X direction

$T_L cos65 = T_R cos80$

$T_L = 0.41 T_R$

now we will have force balance in Y direction

$mg = T_L sin65 + T_Rsin80$

$514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985T_R$

Part a)

so from above equations we have

$514 = 0.906T_L + 0.985(\frac{T_L}{0.41})$

$514 = 3.3 T_L$

$T_L = 155.4 N$

Part b)

Now for tension in right string we will have

$T_R = \frac{T_L}{0.41}$

$T_R = 379 N$

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why?

Lisa [10]

Answer:

Hydraulic press is called an instrument for multiplication of force. Why? Because it uses Pascal's idea and principle: F=p*S. If we apply small force to small piston you will generate a pressure. According to Pascal's law pressure is the same everywhere in closed system so the same pressure will act on large piston on the other side too.
