Answer:

Vr = 20 [km/h]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to add the relative velocities. We must remember that velocity is a vector, therefore it has magnitude and direction. We will take the sea as the reference measurement level.

Let's take the direction of the ship as positive. Therefore the boy moves in the opposite direction (Negative) to the reference level (the sea).

$V_{r}=30-10\\V_{r}=20 [km/h]$

A standing wave is created on a string of length 1.2 m. If the speed of the wave on the string is 60.0 m/s, what is the fundamen

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Fundamental frequency in the string will be 25 Hz

Explanation:

We have given length of the string L = 1.2 m

Speed of the wave on the string v = 60 m/sec

We have to find the fundamental frequency

Fundamental frequency in the string is equal to $f=\frac{v}{2L}$ , here v is velocity on the string and L is the length of the string

So frequency will be equal to $f=\frac{v}{2L}=\frac{60}{2\times 1.2}=25Hz$

So fundamental frequency will be 25 Hz

A large container contains a large amount of water. A hole is drilled on the wall of the container, at a vertical distance h = 0

barxatty [35]

Answer:

Velocity = 3.25[m/s]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved if we use the Bernoulli equation: In the attached image we can see the conditions of the water inside the container.

In point 1, (surface of the water) we have the atmospheric pressure and at point 2 the water is coming out also at atmospheric pressure, therefore this members in the Bernoulli equation could be cancelled.

The velocity in the point 1 is zero because we have this conditional statement "The water surface drops very slowly and its speed is approximately zero"

h2 is located at point 2 and it will be zero.

$(P_{1} +\frac{v_{1}^{2} }{2g} +h_{1} )=(P_{2} +\frac{v_{2}^{2} }{2g} +h_{2} )\\P_{1} =P_{2} \\v_{1}=0\\h_{2} =0\\v_{2}=\sqrt{0.54*9.81*2}\\v_{2}=3.25[m/s]$

Infrared observations of the orbits of stars close to the galactic center indicate a small object at the center with a mass of a

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

(4.31±0.38) million Solar masses.

Explanation:

The galactic center is the center of the milky way around which the galaxy rotates. It is most likely the location of a supermassive black hole which has a mass of (4.31±0.38) million Solar masses. The location is called Sagittarius A*.

As there is interstellar dust in our line of sight from the Earth infrared observations need to be taken.
