A surfer is moving at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s north relative to a wave which is pushing him west at a constant velocity o

f 8.6 m/s toward the beach. The surfer begins at a distance of 41 meters away from the beach. How far north does the surfer make it (in meters) before becoming beached? Round answer to 1 decimal place.

The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y

An object is placed a distance of twice the focal length away from a diverging lens. What is the magnification of the image?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

Here we have a divering lens, so the focal length must be taken as negative (-f). Moreover, we know that the object is placed at a distance of twice the focal length, so

p=2f

So we can find q from the equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{(-f)}-\frac{1}{p}=-\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{2f}=-\frac{3}{2f}\\q=-\frac{2}{3}f

Now we can find the magnification of the image, given by:

M=-\frac{q}{p}=-\frac{-\frac{2}{3}f}{2f}=\frac{1}{3}

A crate is lifted vertically 1.5 m and then held at rest. The crate has weight 100 N (i.e., it is supported by an upward force o
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

5..No work is being done.

Explanation:

Hello!

Remember that the concept of work is defined as the force required to move a certain body distance, it is calculated as the product of force by distance.

therefore, the work required to raise the box is 150J.

However, the work required to keep the box lifted without moving is zero since although the box has a force due to the weight it does not move.

I am really struggling with this question because I can't find anything on aphelion and perihelion, it's not a topic we went ove
Hoochie [10]

I have a strange hunch that there's some more material or previous work
that goes along with this question, which you haven't included here.

I can't easily find the dates of Mercury's extremes, but here's some of the
other data you're looking for:

Distance at Aphelion (point in it's orbit that's farthest from the sun):
<span><span><span><span><span>69,816,900 km
0. 466 697 AU</span>

</span> </span> </span> <span> Distance at Perihelion (</span></span><span>point in it's orbit that's closest to the sun):</span>
<span><span><span><span>46,001,200 km
0.307 499 AU</span> </span>

Perihelion and aphelion are always directly opposite each other in
the orbit, so the time between them is  1/2  of the orbital period.

</span><span>Mercury's Orbital period = <span><span>87.9691 Earth days</span></span></span></span>

1/2 (50%) of that is  43.9845  Earth days

The average of the aphelion and perihelion distances is

     1/2 ( 69,816,900 + 46,001,200 ) = 57,909,050 km
or
     1/2 ( 0.466697 + 0.307499) = 0.387 098  AU
 
This also happens to be 1/2 of the major axis of the elliptical orbit.
