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

Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
4 0

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

The bohr model of the atom addressed the problem of
cupoosta [38]
Rutherford's nuclear model stated that a cloud of negative electrons surround the nucleus however scientists realized that electrons in a cloud around the nucleus of an atom would be attracted to the nucleus, causing the atom to collapse. Thus Bohr's model proposed that electrons were contained in shells and they orbit the nucleus at fixed distances.

A skier with a mass of 63 kg starts from rest and skis down an icy (frictionless) slope that has a length of 50 m at an angleof
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the skier reaches the bottom of the slope , height lost by it

h = 50 sin32 m

= 26.5 m

potential energy lost

= mgh

Gain of kinetic energy

= 1/2 mv²

mgh = 1/2 mv²

v = √ 2gh

= √ (2x9.8 x 26.5)

= 22.8 m /s

b )

Let μ be the coefficient of kinetic friction required.

friction force acting

= μmg

work done by friction in displacement of  d (40 m ) on horizontal surface

- μmg x d

This negative work will be equal to positive kinetic energy of the skier on horizontal surface .

=  μmg x d  = (1/2) m v²

μ = v² / (2 gd)

= 519.4 / (2 x 9.8 x 140 )

= .19

An astronaut circling the earth at an altitude of 400 km is horrified to discover that a cloud of space debris is moving in the
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

One of the essential concepts to solve this problem is the utilization of the equations of centripetal and gravitational force.

From them it will be possible to find the speed of the body with which the estimated time can be calculated through the kinematic equations of motion. At the same time for the calculation of this speed it is necessary to clarify that this will remain twice the ship, because as we know by relativity, when moving in the same magnitude but in the opposite direction, with respect to the ship the debris will be double speed.

By equilibrium the centrifugal force and the gravitational force are equal therefore

F_c = F_g

\frac{mv^2_{orbit}}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where

m = mass spacecraft

v = velocity

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of earth

r \rightarrow R+h \Rightarrow Radius of earth and orbit

Re-arrange to find the velocity

\frac{mv^2_{orbit}}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

\frac{v^2_{orbit}}{r} = \frac{GM}{r^2}

v^2_{orbit}=\frac{GM}{r}

v_{orbit} = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

v_{orbit} = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

Replacing with our values we have

v_{orbit} = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{6.37*10^6+0.4*10^6}}

v_{orbit} = 7676m/s

From the cinematic equations of motion we have to

t = \frac{d}{2v_{orbit}} \rightarrow Remember that the speed is double for the counter-direction of the trajectories.

Replacing

t = \frac{29000m}{7676m/s}

t = 3.778s

Therefore the time required is 3.778s

An apple in a tree has a gravitational store of 8J. As it falls, it accelerates constantly until it hits the ground. What is the
Masja [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J
