Imagine you leave the dock on a fishing boat that travels east for 30 kilometers when the captain realizes he left the fishing r

ods on the dock. It takes him 40 minutes to travel out against the current but only 20 minutes to return to the dock.

3 0

Answer:

Average speed is 60 km/hr whereas average velocity is 0 km/ hr.

Explanation:

The average speed of the boat is 60 km/ hr while on the other hand, the average velocity of the boat is 0 km/ hr because average speed is the total distance covered by the boat in total time and average velocity is the displacement covered by the boat in total time. The total distance covered by the boat is 60 km and the total time is 60 minutes which is equals to one hour so the answer is 60 km/hr whereas the displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position which is 0 in this case so 0 divided by 60 minutes or one hour is also 0.

A professional golfer hits a golf ball of mass 46 g with her 5-iron, and the ball first strikes the ground 155 m away. The ball
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 46 g = 0.046 kg

Terminal speed of the ball, v = 44 m/s

The drag force, F_r=Cv^2

Where, C is the drag coefficient. At terminal speed, the weight of the ball is balanced by the drag force.

Cv^2=mg

C=\dfrac{mg}{v^2}

C=\dfrac{0.046\times 9.8}{(44)^2}

C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

Neutron stars are extremely dense objects that are formed from the remnants of supernova explosions. Many rotate very rapidly. S
Alja [10]

Answer:

16294 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that

M(ns) = 2M(s), where

M(s) = 1.99*10^30 kg, so that

M(ns) = 3.98*10^30 kg

Again, R(ns) = 10 km

Using the law of gravitation, the force between the Neutron star and the sun is..

F = G.M(ns).M(s) / R²(ns), where

G = 6.67*10^-11, gravitational constant

Again, centripetal force of the neutron star is given as

F = M(ns).v² / R(ns)

Recall that v = wR(ns), so that

F = M(s).w².R(ns)

For a circular motion, it's been established that the centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force, hence

F = F

G.M(ns).M(s) / R²(ns) = M(s).w².R(ns)

Making W subject of formula, we have

w = √[{G.M(ns).M(s) / R²(ns)} / {M(s).R(ns)}]

w = √[{G.M(ns)} / {R³(ns)}]

w = √[(6.67*10^-11 * 3.98*10^30) / 10000³]

w = √[2.655*10^20 / 1*10^12]

w = √(2.655*10^8)

w = 16294 rad/s

A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Your answer is: K.E = 8.3 J

Explanation:

If the height (h) = 169.2 meters (m) and the mass (m) is 0.005 kilograms (kg) the total energy will be kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy.

K.E = P.E and also P.E equals to mgh

Then you substitute all the parameters into the formula  ↓

P.E = 0.005 × 9.81 × 169.2

P.E = 8.2908 J

So your answer is 8.2908 but if you round it is K.E = 8.3

A steel beam that is 5.50 m long weighs 332 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending
ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    Length of beam, (L) = 5.50 m

    Weight of the beam, (W_{b}) = 332 N

     Weight of the Suki, (W_{s}) = 505 N

After crossing the left support of the beam by the suki then at some overhang distance the beam starts o tip. And, this is the maximum distance we need to calculate. Therefore, at the left support we will set up the moment and equate it to zero.

                 \sum M_{o} = 0

     -W_{s} \times x + W_{b} \times 1.5 = 0

                x = \frac{W_{b} \times 1.5}{W_{s}}

                   = \frac{332 N \times 1.5}{505 N}

                   = 0.986 m

Hence, the suki can come (2 - 0.986) m = 1.014 from the end before the beam begins to tip.

Thus, we can conclude that suki can come 1.014 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip.
