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

Weight is influenced by which of the following
nignag [31]

Out of the given options, weight is influenced by mass and gravity

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The object's mass is defined as the quantity of a matter with which the object is formed. It can change its state of matter but the quantity will remain the same. However, the weight is defined as how much force gravity exerts on the object's mass to pull it.

The mass is always same irrespective the location but the weight may vary from one place to the other while talking for the bigger picture. For example, the object's weight may be 60 kg on Earth but when it is measured on the moon, it will be lesser.

The weight of an object generally has nothing doing with the volume and it doesn't depend solely on the gravitational pull. The mass plays a crucial role.

At constant volume, the heat of combustion of a particular compound is − 3550.0 kJ / mol. When 1.075 g of this compound ( molar
swat32

Answer:

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

Explanation:

First of all let's define the specific molar heat capacity.

C = \frac{-Q}{n\cdot \Delta T} (1)

Where:

Q is the released heat by the system

n is the number of moles

ΔT is the difference of temperature of the system  

Now, we can find n with the molar mass (M) the mass of the compound (m).

n=\frac{m}{M}=6.95\cdot 10^{-3} moles      

Using (1) we have:

C=\frac{-3550}{6.95\cdot 10^{-3} 4.073}

C=1,25\cdot 10^{5} kJ/^{\circ}C

I hope it helps!

A penny is dropped from the top of a tower. It hits the ground below after 2.5 s. How tall was the tower?
pychu [463]

Answer:

C. 30.6m

Explanation:

To find the height of the tower, we are to use Newtons law of motion to solve this problem. Since the penny is falling from the top of the tower, it is acted by the acceleration due to gravity. The formula to be used is:

H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Where H is the height of the tower, t is the time taken to hit the ground, u is the initial velocity and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given that, t = 2.5 s, g =9.8 m/s², u = 0 m/s (at the top of tower)

H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\H=0(2.5)+ \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(2.5)^2\\\\H=30.6\ m

Assume that the position vector of A is r=i+j+k . Determine the moment about the origin O if the force F=(1)i+(0)j+(5)k . The mo
ddd [48]

Answer:

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Explanation:

Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e

M₀ = r x F

From the question,

r = i + j + k

F = 1i + 0j +  5k

Therefore,

M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j +  5k)

M₀ = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]

M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)

M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k
