Anita and Nick are playing tug-of-war near a mud puddle. They are each holding on to an end of a taut rope that has a knot exact

ly in the middle. Anita's position is 6.2 meters east of the center of the puddle and Nick's position is 3.0 meters west of the center of the puddle. What is the location of the knot relative to the center of the puddle? Treat east as positive and west as negative.

Answer:

1.6 meters east

Explanation:

Note: Image attached.

As we can see on the data, Anita is further from the puddle than Nick. Additionally, the distances relatives to the center of the puddle allow us to now the lenght of the rope which is the sum of these two, 9.2 meters. We also know that the knot is at the middle of the rope, so it means it is at 4.6 meters of  both Anita and Nick. Now what is next? Well, we now have everything we know. We have the distance between Anita and the puddle and we also know the distance between Anita and the knot (4.6 meters). We just need to subtract the distance to the knot from the distance to the puddle which is equal to 1,6 meters east direction.

If you guys have any questions, just let me know.

An Olympic diver drops from the 10 meter platform with an initial velocity of 0.0m/s. What was the vertical velocity of the dive
sammy [17]

Answer:

v=14.14 m/s

t=1.141 s    

Explanation:

Given that

h = 10 m

Initial velocity ,u = 0 m/s

We know that acceleration due to gravity g= 10 m/s²

Lets take final velocity = v

Final velocity v is given as

v² = u²+ 2 g h

v²= 0² + 2 x 10 x 10

v²= 200

v=14.14 m/s

Time taken t is given as

v= u +  a t

a=acceleration

t=time

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

14.14= 0 + 10 x t

14.14 = 10 t

t=1.141 s

A rocket with a mass of 62,000 kg (including fuel) is burning fuel at the rate of 150 kg/s and the speed of the exhaust gases is
mezya [45]

Answer:

h≅ 58 m

Explanation:

GIVEN:

mass of rocket M= 62,000 kg

fuel consumption rate =  150 kg/s

velocity of exhaust gases v= 6000 m/s

Now thrust = rate of fuel consumption×velocity of exhaust gases

=6000 × 150 = 900000 N

now to need calculate time t = amount of fuel consumed÷ rate

= 744/150= 4.96 sec

applying newton's law

M×a= thrust - Mg

62000 a=900000- 62000×9.8

acceleration a= 4.71 m/s^2

its height after 744 kg of its total fuel load has been consumed

h= \frac{1}{2}at^2

h= \frac{1}{2}4.71\times4.96^2

h= 58.012 m

h≅ 58 m

A straight wire lies along the y-axis initially carrying a current of 10 A in the positive y-direction. The current decreases an
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to straight wire is into the square coil.

As the current in straight wire decreases the magnetic flux in the coil decreases . The induced magnetic field is into the coil.The induced current is along +y direction

A physics demo launches a ball horizontally while dropping a second ball vertically at exactly the same time. 1) which ball hits
Simora [160]

Answer:

Both balls will hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

The factor which leads to ball falling is the gravity acting on the ball;

The motions along the path of both balls are independent and both balls will obey the following illustration

Using the third equation of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where s = distance covered by both balls.

u = initial velocity of both balls. Since both balls start from rest, u = 0m/s

a = acceleration; and it's equal to acceleration due to gravity.

a = g

By substituton

s = 0 * t + ½gt²

s = 0 + ½gt²

s = ½gt²

Make t the subject of formula

gt² = 2s

t² = 2s/g

t = ±√(2s/g)

But time can't be less than 0 (in other words, negative)

So,

t = √(2s/g)

It'll take both balls √(2s/g) time to hit the floor
