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

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903

The train passes point A with a speed of 30 m/s and begins to decrease its speed at a constant rate of at = - 0.25 m/s^2. Determ
prisoha [69]

Explanation:

At point B, the velocity speed of the train is as follows.

          \nu^{2}_{B} = \nu^{2}_{A} + 2a_{t} (s_{B} - s_{A})

                           = (30)^{2} + 2(-0.25(412 - 0))

                           = 26.34 m/s

Now, we will calculate the first derivative of the equation of train.

          y = 200 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}

      \frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}

Now, second derivative of the train is calculated as follows.

         \frac{dy}{dx} = 0.2 e^{\frac{x}{1000}}      

       \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = 0.2 (10^{-3}) e^{\frac{x}{1000}}    

Radius of curvature of the train is as follows.  

   \rho = \frac{[1 + (\frac{dy}{dx})^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}

               = \frac{[1 + 0.2e^{\frac{400}{1000}}^{2}]^{\frac{3}{2}}}{0.2(10^{-3})e^{\frac{400}{1000}}}

              = 3808.96 m

Now, we will calculate the normal component of the train as follows.

            a_{n} = \frac{\nu^{2}_{B}}{\rho}

                        = \frac{(26.34)^{2}}{3808.96}

                        = 0.1822 m/s^{2}

The magnitude of acceleration of train is calculated as follows.

            a = \sqrt{(a_{t})^{2} + (a_{n})^{2}}

               = \sqrt{(-0.25)^{2} + (0.1822)^{2}}

              = 0.309 m/s^{2}

Thus, we can conclude that magnitude of the acceleration of the train when it reaches point B, where sAB = 412 m is 0.309 m/s^{2}.

A length of copper wire carries a current of 14 A, uniformly distributed through its cross section. The wire diameter is 2.5 mm,
gavmur [86]

Answer:

a. ρ_\beta=1.996J/m^3

b. U_E=9.445x10^{-15} J/m^3

Explanation:

a. To find the density of magnetic field given use the gauss law and the equation:

i=14A, d=2.5mm, R=3.3Ω, l=1 km, E_o=8.85x10^{-12}F/m, u_o=4*x10^{-7}H/m

ρ_\beta=\frac{\beta^2}{2*u_o}

ρ_\beta=\frac{1}{2*u_o}*(\frac{u_o*i^2}{2\pi *r})^2

ρ_\beta=\frac{u_o*i^2}{8\pi*r}=\frac{4\pi *10^{-7}H/m*(14A)^2}{8\pi*(1.25x10^{-3}m)^2}

ρ_\beta=1.996J/m^3

b. The electric field can be find using the equation:

U_E=\frac{1}{2}*E_o*E^2

E=(\frac{i*R}{l})^2

U_E=\frac{1}{2}*8.85x10^{-12}*(\frac{14A*3.3}{1000m})^2

U_E=9.445x10^{-15} J/m^3

This rock, known as balance rock, sits on a thin spike of rock in a canyon in idaho. explain the forces that keep the rock balan
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Action force and Reaction force

Explanation:

The action force which is the balanced rock pushing down due to gravity and the reaction force pushing the equal amount of force. These two things are stated in Newtons third law, where he states that "Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first." Also, he states that "all forces acts in pairs," meaning that every force exerted, there is an opposite force on the first.
