Answer:

1700 kg

Explanation:

Let’s use conservation of momentum

32.5 * 388 = 7.42 * mc

mc = 1699.46

mc = 1700 kg

In his motorboat, Bill Ruhberg travels upstream at top speed to his favorite fishing spot, a distance of 120120 mi, in 33 hr.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The rate of the boat in still water is 44 mph and the rate of the current is 4 mph

Explanation:

x = the rate of the boat in still water

y = the rate of the current.

Distance travelled = 120 mi

Time taken upstream = 3 hr

Time taken downstream = 2.5 hr

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed upstream

$\frac{120}{3}=x-y\\\Rightarrow 40=x-y$

Speed downstream

$\frac{120}{2.5}=x+y\\\Rightarrow 48=x+y$

Adding both the equations

$48+40=x-y+x+y\\\Rightarrow 88=2x\\\Rightarrow 44=x$

$40=44-y\\\Rightarrow 40-44=-y\\\Rightarrow y=4$

The rate of the boat in still water is <u>44 mph</u> and the rate of the current is <u>4 mph</u>

Calculate the pressure on the ground from an 80 kg woman leaning on the back of one of her shoes with a 1cm diameter heel, and c

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Pressure of woman will be $99.87\times 10^5N/m^2$

Pressure of the elephant will be $1716560.50N/m^2$

Explanation:

We have given that mass of the woman m = 80 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Diameter of shoes = 1 cm =0.01 m

So radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.01}{2}=0.005m$

So area $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.005^2=7.85\times 10^{-5}m^2$

We know that force is given F = mg

So $F=80\times 9.8=784N$

Now we know that pressure is given by $P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{784}{7.85\times 10^{-5}}=99.87\times 10^5N/m^2$

Now mass of elephant m = 5500 kg

So force of elephant = 5500×9.8 = 53900 N

Diameter = 20 cm

So radius r = 10 cm

So area will be $A=3.14\times 0.1^2=0.0314m^2$

So pressure will be $P=\frac{53900}{0.0314}=1716560.50N/m^2$
