A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to

the victim with an initial velocity of 2.12 m/s and observes that it takes 1.5 s to reach the water.
(a) List the knowns in this problem.
(b) How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable.

A water-skier is being pulled by a tow rope attached to a boat. As the driver pushes the throttle forward, the skier accelerates
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

4334.4 J

Explanation:

Work done equals to kinetic energy change

KE=½mv²

Change in KE is given by

∆KE=½m(v²-u²)

Where m is mass of water-skier, KE is kinetic energy, ∆KE is the change in kinetic energy, v is final velocity and u is initial velocity.

Substituting 72 kg for m, 12.1 m/s for v and 5.10 m/s for u then

∆KE=½*72(12.1²-5.10²)=4334.4J

Therefore, the work done by the net external force acting on the skier is equal to 4334.4 J

What is a scientific model?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

A <u>scientific model</u> is a physical and/or mathematical and/or conceptual representation of a system of ideas, events or processes. Scientists seek to identify and understand patterns in our world by drawing on their scientific knowledge to offer explanations that enable the patterns to be predicted.

How/is climate change/human interaction affecting mutualism
Umnica [9.8K]
Most mutualisms involve partnerships between ectothermic organisms. Therefore, they are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature, and most will be strongly affected by climate change. A mutualism will retain stability and function only under a particular set of environmental conditions.

A Doppler radar sends a pulse at
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on the concept of Doppler's effect of em wave .

Expression for apparent frequency can be given as follows

n = N x (V - v ) / ( V + v )

n is apparent frequency , N is real frequency , V is velocity of light  and v is velocity of cloud.

n = 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ - 8.52 ) / ( 3 x 10⁸ + 8.52 )

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ ) ( 3 x 10⁸ + 8.52 )⁻¹

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ ) ( 3 x 10⁸)⁻¹ ( 1  + 8.52/3 x 10⁸ )⁻¹

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 1  - 8.52/3 x 10⁸ )

= 6 x 10⁹    - 6 x 10⁹x  8.52/ (3 x 10⁸ )

= 6 x 10⁹  1  - 170 .

So change in frequency = 170 approx.
