A visitor is staying in a tent that is 11 kilometers west of the closest point on a shoreline to a coral reef. The coral reef is

3 kilometers due south of the shoreline. The visitor plans to travel from the tent to the coral reef by running and swimming. If the visitor runs at a rate of 7 kmph and swims at a rate of 2 kmph, how far should the visitor run to minimize the time it takes to reach the coral reef

Answer:

Explanation:

From the question, it says that their tent is 11 km away from the shore which is also 3 km away from the coral reef. Essentially, the tent us 11 + 3 km away from the coral reef, and that's 14 km. He has to run at a rate of 7 know to cover an 11 km length and swim at 2 kmph to cover a 3 km length.

All the visitor needs to do is run more than 7 kmph to reduce the days time. For example, running at 11 kmph takes him or her exactly 1 hour to reach the shore, before taking another swim of about an hour to reach the reef

A planet in elliptical orbit around a star moves from the point in its orbit furthest from the star (A) to the closest point (P)
Virty [35]

Answer:

Zero work done,since the body isn't acting against  or by gravity.

Explanation:

Gravitational force is usually  considered as work done against gravity (-ve) and work by gravity ( +ve ) and also When work isn't done by or against gravity work done in this case is zero.

Gravitational force can be define as that force that attracts a body to any other phyical body or system that have mass.

The planet been considered as our system in this case is assumed to have mass, and ought to demonstrate such properties associated with gravitational force in such system. Such properties include the return of every object been thrown up as a result of gravity acting downwards. The orbiting nature of object along an elliptical part when gravitational force isn't acting on the body and it is assumed to be zero.

The acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?
VladimirAG [237]

We have that for the Question "the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?"

  • it can be said that the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to the slope of the line connecting the origin and the point where the graph where the graph crosses the 0.7s grid line

From the question we are told

the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to which of the following?

Generally the equation for the Force  is mathematically given as

F=\frac{F}{dx}

Therefore

F=-kdx

k=600Nm^{-1}

now

K.E=0.5x ds^2

K.E=600*(-0.1^2)

K.E=3J

Therefore

the acceleration of the object at time t = 0.7 s is most nearly equal to the slope of the line connecting the origin and the point where the graph where the graph crosses the 0.7s grid line

A 1,200 kg car accelerates at 3 m/s2. What net force is the car experiencing during thisacceleration?0 3600 NO 2000 N0 2400 NOON
Mama L [17]

m = mass = 1,200 kg

A = acceleration = 3 m/s^2

Apply Newton's second law:

Force = mass x acceleration

F = 1,200 x 3 =3600 N

The net force the car experiences is 3600 N
