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.

Scrat [10]

337493603.8m/s²

Explanation:

Radius of the earth = 6.38 x 10¹⁶m

time = 24hr (86400s)

Unknown:

Centripetal acceleration = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is directed inward to keep the body from falling off the surface of the earth.

     centripetal acceleration  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

  where v is the velocity and r is the radius

   also;

            v  = wr

  where w is the angular velocity

substituting in the equation for centripetal acceleration gives;

                 

          a = w²r

 also w = \frac{2 x pi}{T}

      therefore;

                 a = \frac{4 \pi  ^{2} r }{T^{2} }

 a = \frac{ 4 x 3.142^{2}  x 6.38 x 10^{16} }{86400^{2} }

 a = 337493603.8m/s²

The electron's velocity at that instant is purely horizontal with a magnitude of 2 \times 10^5 ~\text{m/s}2×10 ​5 ​​ m/s then ho
Lesechka [4]

Complete question:

At a particular instant, an electron is located at point (P) in a region of space with a uniform magnetic field that is directed vertically and has a magnitude of 3.47 mT. The electron's velocity at that instant is purely horizontal with a magnitude of 2×10​⁵​​ m/s then how long will it take for the particle to pass through point (P) again? Give your answer in nanoseconds.

[<em>Assume that this experiment takes place in deep space so that the effect of gravity is negligible.</em>]

Answer:

The time it will take the particle to pass through point (P) again is 1.639 ns.

Explanation:

F = qvB

Also;

F = \frac{MV}{t}

solving this two equations together;

\frac{MV}{t} = qVB\\\\t = \frac{MV}{qVB} = \frac{M}{qB}

where;

m is the mass of electron = 9.11 x 10⁻³¹ kg

q is the charge of electron = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

B is the strength of the magnetic field = 3.47 x 10⁻³ T

substitute these values and solve for t

t = \frac{M}{qB} = \frac{9.11 *10^{-31}}{1.602*10^{-19}*3.47*10^{-3}} = 1.639 *10^{-9}  \ s \ = 1.639 \ ns

Therefore, the time it will take the particle to pass through point (P) again is 1.639 ns.

Suppose a 2.0kg bird is flying at a speed of of 1m/s. It’s kinetic energy would be what?
Ganezh [65]

As we know that the formula of kinetic energy will be

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

now here we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 1 m/s

so from the above equation we have

KE = \frac{1}{2}(2)(1^2)

KE = 1 J
