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:

Explanation:

From the given information:

a) the distance(D) showing how dar downstream he will land can be computed as follows:

Assuming the current of the river = 0.2 m/s

$D = \dfrac{180 \ m \times 0.2 \ m/s}{1.4 \ m/s}$

D = 36 m ÷ 1.4

D = 25.71 m

The required time (t) to reach the other side is:

time (t) = 180 m/ 1.4 m/s

time (t) = 128.57 seconds

At an instant a traffic light turns green an automobile that has been waiting at an intersection of the road accelerates with 5m

joja [24]

1) The car overtakes the truck at a distance of 160 m far from the intersection.

2) The velocity of the car is 40 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The car is travelling with a constant acceleration starting from rest, so its position at time t (measured taking the intersection as the origin) is given by

$x_c(t) = \frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

$a=5 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

t is the time

On the other hand, the truck is travelling at a constant velocity, therefore its position at time t is given by

$x_t(t) = vt$

where

v = 20 m/s is the velocity of the truck

t is the time

The car overtakes the truck when the two positions are the same, so when

$x_c(t) = x_t(t)\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = vt\\t=\frac{2v}{a}=\frac{2(20)}{5}=8 s$

So, after a time of 8 seconds. Therefore, the distance covered by the car during this time is

$x_c(8) = \frac{1}{2}(5)(8)^2=160 m$

So, the car overtakes the truck 160 m far from the intersection.

2)

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion, so the velocity of the car at time t is given by the suvat equation

$v=u+at$

where

v is the velocity at time t

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

For the car in this problem, we have:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$a=5 m/s^2$

And we know that the car overtakes the truck when

t = 8 s

Substituting into the equation,

$v=0+(5)(8)=40 m/s$

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 4.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The charge resides on the outer surface = $1.245 \times 10^{-12}$ C

Explanation:

Surface area of cell $(A) = 4.3\times 10^{-9} m^{2}$

Separation between two plate $(d) = 1.1 \times 10^{-8} m$

Dielectric constant $(k) = 4.2$

Potential difference $(\Delta V) = 85.7 \times 10^{-3} V$

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor in free space is given by,

$C = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A }{d}$

Where $\epsilon_{o} =$ permittivity of free space = $8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

The Capacitance of capacitor is increase by $k$ times when it placed in dielectric medium.

$C_{dielectric} = \frac{k \epsilon_{o} A }{d}$

And we know that, $C = \frac{Q}{ \Delta V}$

So charge on the outer surface is given by,

$Q = \frac{k \epsilon A \Delta V }{d}$

$Q = \frac{4.2 \times 4.3 \times 10^{-9} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 85.7\times 10^{-3} }{1.1 \times 10^{-8} }$

$Q = 1.245 \times 10^{-12}$

A meter stick is balanced at the 50 cm mark. You tie a 20 N weight at the 20 cm mark. Where should a 30 N weight be placed so th

vivado [14]

Answer:

20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.

Explanation:

The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm

Balance point on 50 cm

From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm

Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance

As the force is conserved we have

$\dfrac{20}{30}\times 30=20\ cm$

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.
