Answer:

(θ) = 60°

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of canoe Vc = 2 m/s

Speed of River Vr = 1 m/s

Computation:

Vc (Cosθ) = Vr

2 (Cosθ) = 1

(Cosθ) =  1 / 2

(Cosθ) = (Cos60)

(θ) = 60°

The altitude of the International Space Station ttt minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by \qquad
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

T = 92.8 min

Explanation:

Given:

The altitude of the International Space Station t minutes after its perigee (closest point), in kilometers, is given by:

                               A(t) = 415 - sin(\frac{2*\pi (t+23.2)}{92.8})

Find:

- How long does the International Space Station take to orbit the earth? Give an exact answer.

Solution:

- Using the the expression given we can extract the angular speed of the International Space Station orbit:

                                 A(t) = 415 - sin({\frac{2*\pi*t }{92.8} + \frac{23.2*2*\pi }{92.8} )

- Where the coefficient of t is angular speed of orbit w = 2*p / 92.8

- We know that the relation between angular speed w and time period T of an orbit is related by:

                                T = 2*p / w

                                T = 2*p / (2*p / 92.8)

Hence,                     T = 92.8 min

Recall the topography of the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of California's central valley. Which of the following locations would
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3. western slope

Explanation:

If we investigate the physical features (such as natural and artificial features) of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located at the California's central valley eastern part, the western slope has the highest value of the precipitation level yearly. This is due to the location of the slope and the relevant conditions such as temperature and humidity.

A thin hoop is hung on a wall, supported by a horizontal nail. The hoop's mass is M=2.0 kg and its radius is R=0.6 m. What is th
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the thin hoop

M = 2kg

Radius of the hoop

R = 0.6m

Moment of inertial of a hoop is

I = MR²

I = 2 × 0.6²

I = 0.72 kgm²

Period of a physical pendulum of small amplitude is given by

T = 2π √(I / Mgd)

Where,

T is the period in seconds

I is the moment of inertia in kgm²

I = 0.72 kgm²

M is the mass of the hoop

M = 2kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity

g = 9.8m/s²

d is the distance from rotational axis to center of of gravity

Therefore, d = r = 0.6m

Then, applying the formula

T = 2π √ (I / MgR)

T = 2π √ (0.72 / (2 × 9.8× 0.6)

T = 2π √ ( 0.72 / 11.76)

T = 2π √0.06122

T = 2π × 0.2474

T = 1.5547 seconds

T ≈ 1.55 seconds to 2d•p

Then, the period of oscillation is 1.55seconds
