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.

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 10 m in 4 s?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

500 watts

Explanation:

Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.

In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:

200 N x 10 m = 2000  Nm

then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:

Power = 2000 / 4   Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts

Most people can detect frequencies as high as 20 000 Hz. Assuming the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, determine the wavelength
Gekata [30.6K]

Wavelength = speed / frequency

(345 m/s) / (20,000 Hz) = 0.017 m

Answer:

Althought it us possible to have more then one state, it's also possible to have only one state of matter

Explanation:

You can make solutions of only one state if matter, for example , it two liquids can be mixed to form a solution they are called miscible.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1.7\cdot 10^3 N

Explanation:

The impulse theorem states that the product between the force and the time interval of the collision is equal to the change in momentum:

F \Delta t = m \Delta v

where

F is the force

\Delta t is the time interval

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

Here we have

m = 84 kg

\Delta t = 1.2 s

\Delta v = 24 m/s

So we can solve the equation to find the force:

F= \frac{m \Delta v}{\Delta t }=\frac{(84 kg)(24 m/s)}{1.2 s}=1680 N \sim 1.7\cdot 10^3 N
