Answer:

17.46° W of N

Explanation:

His prow must point westward so that the westward component of his total velocity is equal to the eastward river speed.

3 = 10sinθ

sinθ = 3/10

θ = 17.4576... or about 17.46° W of N

it will take him 5 / 10cos17.46 = 0.52414... hrs. or about 31 min 27 s to cross.

If 27 J of work are needed to stretch a spring from 15 cm to 21 cm and 45 J are needed to stretch it from 21 cm to 27 cm, what i
kupik [55]

Answer:

9 cm.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretch the spring from 15 cm to 21 cm will be , E_{1}=27J

The energy used for stretch the spring from 21 cm to 27 cm will be , E_{2}=45J

using the energy of spring formula ,we find that

27 = \frac{1}{2}K((21-L^{2})-(15-L^{2}))

45 = \frac{1}{2}K((27-L^{2})-(21-L^{2}))

Dividing both the equation will get,

\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2}}{(27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2}}\\5((21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2})=3((27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2})\\3(729 - 54L + L^{2}- 441 + 42L - L^{2} ) = 5(441 - 42L + L^{2} - 225 + 30L - L^{2} )\\3(288 - 12L) = 5(216 - 12L)\\24L = 216\\L = 9 cm

Therefore, the natural length of the spring is, 9 cm.

The diagram shows two charged objects, X and Y.
masya89 [10]

The missing diagram is in the attachments.

Answer: X: positive Y: positive

Explanation: Electric field is a vector quantity, which means it can be represented by a vector arrow: the arrow points in the direction of electric field and its length represents the magnitude at a given location. There are another representation of the electric field called electric field lines, <u>in which the line points away from a positively charged source and towards a negatively charged source</u>. This occurs because it follows a pattern, where the lines points in the direction that a positive test charge would have if it is accelerating on the line.

Analyzing the diagram, it can be observed that the lines are pointing away from both of the charged objects. Therefore, both X and Y are <u>positively charged</u>.

ow long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly ten swings per second? (That is, one complete vibration takes exactly
Igoryamba
The period T of a pendulum is given by:
T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{L}{g} }
where L is the length of the pendulum while g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration.

In the pendulum of the problem, one complete vibration takes exactly 0.200 s, this means its period is T=0.200 s. Using this data, we can solve the previous formula to find L:
L=g ( \frac{T}{2\pi} )^2=(9.81 m/s^2)( \frac{0.2 s}{2 \pi} )^2=1 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1 mm

 Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.Displacement<span> is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

</span>To calculate displacement<span>, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your </span>displacement<span> is 0. In physics, </span>displacement<span> is represented by Δs.
 
 For me to solve this I would need to know the time, but I can give you a handy displacement calculator I used that helped me.
