3. A boat at sea is being moved by the ocean current at 5 metres/minute directly to the east. At the same time it is being moved

directly to
the north at 3 metres/minute by a strong wind. Determine the magnitude and direction of the boat's overall velocity.

5 0

Explanation:

A boat at sea is being moved by the ocean current at 5 metres/minute directly to the east.

At the same time, it is being moved directly to  the north at 3 metres/minute by a strong wind.

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the boat's overall velocity.

As both velocities are moving perpendicular to each other. The resultant velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{5^2+3^2} \\\\=\sqrt{25}\\\\=5\ \text{metres/minute}

For direction,

\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_y}{v_x}\\\\=\dfrac{3}5{}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{3}5{})\\\\=30.96^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solutin.

An elevator of massmis initially at rest onthe first floor of a building. It moves upward,and passes the second and third floors
Varvara68 [4.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Work. Work is understood as the force applied to travel a determined distance, in this case the height. The force in turn can be expressed by Newton's second law as the ratio between mass and gravity, as well

W = mgh

Where,

m = mass

h = height

g = Gravitational constant

When it ascends to the second floor it has traveled the energy necessary to climb a height, under this logic, until the 4 floor has traveled 3 times the height h of each of the floors therefore

h = 3h

Replacing in our equation we have to

W = mgh\\W = mg(3h)\\W = 3mgh

The correct answer is 4.

Optical astronomers need a clear, dark sky to collect good data. Explain why radio astronomers have no problem observing in the
gregori [183]

Answer:

In the clarification portion elsewhere here, the definition of the concern is mentioned.

Explanation:

So like optical telescopes capture light waves, introduce it to concentrate, enhance it, as well as make it usable through different instruments via study, so radio telescopes accumulate weak signal light waves, introduce that one to focus, enhance it, as well as make this information available during research. To research naturally produced radio illumination from stars, galaxies, dark matter, as well as other natural phenomena, we utilize telescopes.

Optical telescopes detect space-borne visible light. There are some drawbacks of optical telescopes mostly on the surface:

  • Mostly at night would they have been seen.
  • Unless the weather gets cloudy, bad, or gloomy, they shouldn't be seen.

Although radio telescopes monitor space-coming radio waves. Those other telescopes, when they are already typically very massive as well as costly, have such an improvement surrounded by optical telescopes. They should be included in poor weather and, when they travel through the surrounding air, the radio waves aren't obscured by clouds. Throughout the afternoon and also some at night, radio telescopes are sometimes used.

If it is fixed at C and subjected to the horizontal 60-lblb force acting on the handle of the pipe wrench at its end, determine
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

τ = 132.773 lb/in² = 132.773 psi

Explanation:

b = 12 in

F = 60 lb

D = 3.90 in (outer diameter)  ⇒ R = D/2 = 3.90 in/2 = 1.95 in

d = 3.65 in (inner diameter)  ⇒ r = d/2 = 3.65 in/2 = 1.825 in

We can see the pic shown in order to understand the question.

Then we get

Mt = b*F*Sin 30°

⇒ Mt = 12 in*60 lb*(0.5) = 360 lb-in

Now we find ωt as follows

ωt = π*(R⁴ - r⁴)/(2R)

⇒ ωt = π*((1.95 in)⁴ - (1.825 in)⁴)/(2*1.95 in)

⇒ ωt = 2.7114 in³

then the principal stresses in the pipe at point A is

τ = Mt/ωt ⇒ τ = (360 lb-in)/(2.7114 in³)

⇒ τ = 132.773 lb/in² = 132.773 psi

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Question 7: </h2>

 \huge\text{Graphs:}

The graph of  

• The I-V for Ohmic Metal wire conductor at constant temperature  always shows a straight line between the Current(I) plotted at Y axis and Voltage(V) plotted at X axis. Picture 1

• The I-V graph for Diode shows that first the current is zero but as we increase the potential difference(voltage), it results in the increase in the current. Picture 2

<h2>_____________________________________ </h2><h2>Question 8: </h2>

\Large\textbf{Diode:}  

A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

\Large\textbf{Forward and Reverse Biasing:}  

Forward Bias, When a diode is forward bias (a voltage in the "forward" direction) then the P-side of the diode is attached to the positive terminal and N-side is fixed to the negative side of the battery which is connected, current flows freely through the device. The forward bias decreases the thickness of potential barrier(The potential barrier barrier in which the charge requires additional force for crossing the region)

Reverse Bias, When a diode is Reverse bias(a voltage in the "backward direction) then the P-side of the diode is connected to the negative terminal and N-side is connected to the positive terminal of the battery which is connected. The reverse bias increases the thickness of the potential barrier resulting in the flow of no current.

 \Large\textbf{Answer to the Question "Resistance"}

The Forward bias decreases the resistance of the diode whereas the reversed bias increases the resistance of the diode. As in forward biasing the current is easily flowing through the circuit whereas reverse bias does not allow the current to flow through it.
