A boat can travel in still water at 56 m/s. If the boats sails directly across a river that flows at 126 m/s. What is the boats

speed relative to the ground
Physics

MAVERICK [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The speed of the boat in still water is perpendicular to the speed of the water flow. Therefore the speed relative to the ground (V), the speed of flow and the speed of the boat in still water form a right angled triangle. Hence the speed relative to the ground is given as:

V² = 56² + 126²

V² = 19012

V = 137.9 m/s

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

2.72*10-3 Joules

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

\tau=I*\alpha

given

\tau= 0.11Nm\\\\I=0.034kgm^2\\\\t= 8s\\\\\alpha=?

\alpha =0.11/0.034\\\\\alpha=3.23 rad/s^2

the angular velocity is

\omega = \alpha/t\\\\\omega =3.23/8\\\\\omega =0.4 rad/s

KE= 1/2*I* \omega^2

KE=1/2*0.034*0.4^2\\\\KE=1/2*0.034*0.16\\\\KE=0.00272\\\\KE=2.72*10^-3J

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of _______
mina [271]

Answer:

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of fluid particles.

Explanation:

Transfer of heat energy by the movement of fluid particles is called convection. Convection takes place in liquids and gases due to kinetic energy. When heat is provided to liquids and gases they expand and move faster.

Molecules with higher kinetic energy become less dense and rise up to the surface of liquid, whereas molecules with lower energy move towards the bottom. This up and down movement of molecules causes convection currents in fluids.

How do you make a magnet with wire and electricity ?
AVprozaik [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>By wrapping the wire along a solenoid and connecting it to electricity</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

If you wrap a copper wire into coils and run an electrical current through it, you will create a magnetic field. If you rotate a permanent magnet as opposed to an item that has been magnetized inside a coil of copper wire, you can create an electrical current. The strength of magnetic field generated is proportional to the amount of current through the winding.
