Answer:

a) t = 1.75 s

b) x = 31.5 m

Explanation:

a) The time at which Tom should drop the net can be found using the following equation:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{oy}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y_{f}: is the final height = 0

y₀: is the initial height = 15 m

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v_{0y}: is the initial vertical velocity of the net = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

0 = 15m - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*t^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*15 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.75 s

Hence, Tom should drop the net at 1.75 s before Jerry is under the bridge.

b) We can find the distance at which is Jerry when Tom drops the net as follows:

v = \frac{x}{t}

x = v*t = 18 m/s*1.75 m = 31.5 m

Then, Jerry is at 31.5 meters from the bridge when Jerry drops the net.

I hope it helps you!

Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of 104 km/h for half an hour (0.500 h), th
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The blue boat traveled 6.1 km farther west than the green boat

The green boat traveled 10.7 km farther south than the blue boat

Explanation:

The equation for linear uniform speed movement is

X(t) = X0 + v * t

Since we have two coordinates (X, Y) we use

X(t) = X0 + vx * t

Y(t) = Y0 + vy * t

The dock will be the origin of coordinates so X0 and Y0 will be zero. The X axis will be pointing west and the Y axis south.

The blue boat moves with a direction 24° south of west, so it will have speeds:

vxb = 104 * cos(24) = 95 km/h

vyb = 104 * sin(24) = 42.3 km/h

And the green boat:

vxg = 104 * cos(37.7) = 82.3 km/h

vyg = 104 * sin(37.7) = 63.6 km/h

After half hour the boats will have arrived at positions

Xb = 95 * 0.5 = 47.5 km

Yb = 42.3 * 0.5 = 21.1 km

And

Xg = 82.3 * 0.5 = 41.4 km

Yg = 63.6 * 0.5 = 31.8 km

The difference in positions of the boats

47.5 - 41.4 = 6.1 km

31.8 - 21.1 = 10.7 km

If John travels 2,387 miles in 2 days, what's his average speed per hour?
klasskru [66]
In 2 days there are 48 hours
to find the average speed per hour, divide 2,387 by 48
Which gets you the answer 49.72
Which rounds up to 50

         Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

           5 N  =  (9 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side
by  9 kg :              5 N / 9 kg  =  acceleration

                           Acceleration = (5/9)  kg-meter/sec²-kg

which of these best explains why the hydrogen atoms in a water molecule are attracted to CI ions in sodium chloride
matrenka [14]
The oxygen has more electronegativity (3.44), making hydrogen more 'positive'. Hydrogen will be attracted to Cl since it is more 'negative'. Electronegativity(EN) of H is 2.2 whereas Cl has EN of 3.16
