Two boats leave the same port at the same time, with boat A traveling north at 15 knots (nautical miles per hour) and boat B tra

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The chance in distance is 25 knots

Explanation:

The distance between the two particles is given by:

$s^2 = (x_A - x_B)^2+(y_A - y_B)^2$ (1)

Since A is traveling north and B is traveling east we can say that their displacement vector are perpendicular and therefore (1) transformed as:

$s^2 = x_B^2+y_A^2$ (2)

Taking the differential with respect to time:

$\displaystyle{2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt}}$ (3)

where $\displaystyle{\frac{dx_B}{dt}}=v_B$ and $\displaystyle{\frac{dx_A}{dt}}=v_A$ are the respective given velocities of the boats. To find $s$ and $x_B$ we make use of the given position for A, $y_A=30$ , the Pythagoras theorem and the relation between distance and velocity for a movement with constant velocity.

$\displaystyle{y_A = v_A\cdot t\rightarrow t = \frac{y_A}{v_A}=\frac{30}{15}=2 h$

with this time, we know can now calculate the distance at which B is:

$\displaystyle{x_B = v_B\cdot t= 20 \cdot 2 = 40\ nmi$

and applying Pythagoras:

$\displaystyle{s = \sqrt{x_B^2+y_A^2}=\sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50}$

Now substituting all the values in (3) and solving for $\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} }$ we get:

$\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{1}{2s}(2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt})}\\\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = 25 \ knots}$

A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobber

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate the volume of the lead

$V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\=\frac{10g}{11.3g'cm^3}$

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead

$F_L = Vpg$

$F_L=(\frac{10g}{11.3g/cm^3} )(1g/cm^3)(9.8m/s^2)\\\\=8.673\times 10^{-3}N$

This force will act in upward direction

Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass will act in downward direction

Hence the difference of this two force

$T=mg-F_L\\\\=(10\times10^{-3}kg(9.8m/s^2)-8.673\times 10^{-3}\\\\=8.933\times10^{-3}N$

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

$F_B=V'pg$

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

$F_B=T_mg\\\\V'pg=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg} \\\\V'=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg}$

Now Total volume of bobble is

$\frac{V'}{V^B} =\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+Mg}{pg} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 }\times100\\\\=\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+(3)(9.8)}{(1000)(9.8)} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi (4.0\times10^{-2})^3 }\times100\\\\$

= $\large\boxed{4.52 \%}$

Sidana [21]

The circuit change when the wire is added will see a short circuit occur and makes bulbs 1 and 2 turn off but keeps bulbs 3 and 4 lit. Option D. This is further explained below.

<h3>How does the circuit change when the wire is added?</h3>

Generally, Electronic circuits consist of a series of interconnected parts that form a closed loop through which electricity may flow.

In conclusion, If two wires are linked together, a short circuit will develop, cutting power to bulbs 1 and 2. But there is no impact on bulbs 3 and 4. There is no problem with bulbs 3 and 4.
