A Navy vessel is traveling due north during wartime. A torpedo has been launched by an enemy directly toward the stern (rear) of

the vessel. Can the vessel outrun the torpedo if both continue in a straight line due north?
A) Yes, the Navy vessel is faster

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

C) Maybe, since both travel at the same speed

D) Maybe, based on the temperature of the water

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

Explanation:

The speed of some torpedoes can be as high as 370 km/h. The average speed of a fast Navy vessel is approximately 110 km/h

Therefore, the torpedoes travel approximately 3 times as fast as the (slower) Navy vessel, such that the torpedo covers three times the distance of the Navy vessel in the same time and therefore, if the Navy vessel and the torpedo continue in a straight line (in the same direction) due north the vessel can not outrun the torpedo

Therefore, no the Navy vessel travels slower than a torpedo.

Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsive force
Rasek [7]

Answer:

36.1 nC

Explanation:

The electrostatic force F = kqq'/r² since q = q', F = kq²/r² where q = charge on tape, r = distance between tapes = 1.00 cm = 1 × 10⁻² m and k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C².

Given that F = weight of 12.0 mg piece of tape, F = mg where m = mass of tape = 12.0 mg = 12 × 10⁻³ kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

So, kq²/r² = mg

q²/r² = mg/k

q² = mgr²/k

taking square-root of both sides,

q = √(mg/k)r

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

q = √(mg/k)r

q = √(12 × 10⁻³ kg × 9.8 m/s²/ 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²)1 × 10⁻² m

q = √(117.6 × 10⁻³ kgm/s²/9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²)1 × 10⁻² m

q = √(13.07 × 10⁻¹² C²/m²)1 × 10⁻² m

q = 3.61 × 10⁻⁶ C/m × 1 × 10⁻² m

q =  3.61 × 10⁻⁸ C

q = 36.1 × 10⁻⁹ C

q = 36.1 nC
