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.

RC time constant circuit if R 50 KOC-21 a TOSS c. 1.05 s . what is the expected RC value b. 10.55 d. 0.105 s
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Time constant of RC circuit is 0.105 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R=50\ K\Omega=5\times 10^4\ \Omega

Capacitance, C=2.1\ \mu F=2.1\times 10^{-6}\ F

We need to find the expected time constant for this RC circuit. It can be calculated as :

\tau=R\times C

\tau=5\times 10^4\times 2.1\times 10^{-6}

\tau=0.105\ s

So, the time constant for this RC circuit is 0.105 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total
Lynna [10]

Explanation:

Given Data

Total mass=93.5 kg

Rock mass=0.310 kg

Initially wagon speed=0.540 m/s

rock speed=16.5 m/s

To Find

The speed of the wagon

Solution

As the wagon rolls, momentum is given as

P=mv

where

m is mass

v is speed

put the values

P=93.5kg × 0.540 m/s

P =50.49 kg×m/s

Now we have to find the momentum of rock

momentum of rock = mv

momentum of rock = (0.310kg)×(16.5 m/s)

momentum of rock =5.115 kg×m/s  

From the conservation of momentum we can find the wagons momentum So

wagon momentum=50.49 -5.115 = 45.375 kg×m/s  

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

Speed of wagon=45.375/(93.5-0.310)

Speed of wagon= 0.487 m/s

Throwing rock backward,

momentum of wagon = 50.49+5.115 = 55.605  kg×m/s

Speed of wagon = wagon momentum/(total mass-rock mass)

speed of wagon = 55.605  kg×m/s/(93.5kg-0.310kg)

speed of wagon= 0.5967 m/s

A mass is placed at the end of a spring. It has starting velocity of V & allowed to oscillate freely. If the mass has a star
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Equation for SHM can be written

V = w A cos w t        where w is the angular frequency and the velocity is a                                         maximum at t = 0

V1 = w1  A cos w1 t

V2 = w2 A cos w2 t

V2 / V1 = w2 / w1     since cos X t = 1 if t = zero

V2 / V1 = 2 pi f2 / (2 pi f1) = f2 / f1 = T1 / T2

If the velocity is twice as large the period will be 1/2 long
