30 + 6 = 36

36/12 = 3



So, it would take it 3 hours to go 12 kms downstream.



Note that we added 30 and 6 because it was going downstream. If it was going upstream, then we would have had to subtract.

A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 330 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstret
Nataly [62]

Answer:

a)32.34 N/m

b)10cm

c)1.6 Hz

Explanation:

Let 'k' represent spring constant

'm' mass of the object= 330g =>0.33kg

a) in order to find spring constant 'k', we apply Newton's second law to the equilibrium position 10cm below the release point.

ΣF=kx-mg=0

k=mg / x

k= (0.33 x 9.8)/ 0.1

k= 32.34 N/m

b) The amplitude, A, is the distance from the equilibrium (or center) point of motion to either its lowest or highest point (end points). The amplitude, therefore, is half of the total distance covered by the oscillating object.

Therefore, amplitude of the oscillation is 10cm

c)frequency of the oscillation can be determined by,

f= 1/2π \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

f= 1/2π \sqrt{\frac{32.34}{0.33} }

f= 1.57

f≈ 1.6 Hz

Therefore,  the frequency of the oscillation is 1.6 Hz

Why does eating less meat conserve more water than just eating plants?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Studies show that eating fewer animal-based products could reduce water use since animal production uses more water than crops do. In addition, reducing the amount of food that's lost or wasted at various points in the food supply chain could feed about 1 billion extra people while simultaneously reducing water use.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

∆U = 2.296×10^10Joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is defined as the energy possessed by an object under the influence of gravity due to its virtue of position.

Potential energy U = Fr where;

F is the force of attraction between the masses of the moon and the rocket.

r is the radius or height of the object.

From Newton's law of universal gravitation, F = GMm/r²

Potential energy U = (-GMm/r²)×r

Potential energy U = -GMm/r

The force is negative because the objects act upward.

M is the mass of the rocket

m is the mass of the moon

Gravitational potential energy possessed by the rocket

U1 = -GMm/r1

r1 is the altitude covered by the rocket

Gravitational potential energy possessed by the Moon

U2 = -GMm/(r2+r1)

r2 is the radius of the moon

Change in gravitational potential energy ∆U = U2-U1

∆U = -GMm/(r2+r1)-(-GMm/r1)

∆U = -GMm/(r2+r1) + GMm/r1

∆U = -GMm{1/(r2+r1)-1/r1}

Given

G = 6.67×10^-11m³/kgs²

M = 1130kg

m = 7.36×10²²kg

r1 = 215km = 215,000m

r2 = 1740km = 1,740,000m

∆U = -6.67×10^-11× 7.36×10²² × 1130{1/(215,000+1,740,000)-1/215000}

∆U= -55.47×10¹⁴{1/1955000-1/215000}

∆U = -55.47×10¹⁴{5.12×10^-7 - 4.65×10^-6}

∆U = -284×10^7 + 257.94×10^8

∆U = 22,954,000,000Joules

∆U = 2.296×10^10Joules
