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

A soccer ball with mass 0.450 kg is initially moving with speed 2.20 m/s. A soccer player kicks the ball, exerting a constant fo
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

0.187 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the acceleration of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.450 Kg

Force (F) = 38 N

Acceleration (a) =?

F = m × a

38 = 0.450 × a

Divide both side by 0.450

a = 38 / 0.450

a = 84.44 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the distance. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 2.20 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 6 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 84.44 m/s²

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

6² = 2.2² + (2 × 84.44 × s)

36 = 4.4 + 168.88s

Collect like terms

36 – 4.84 = 168.88s

31.52 = 168.88s

Divide both side by 168.88

s = 31.52 / 168.88

s = 0.187 m

Thus, the distance is 0.187 m

When are magnets attracted and when are they repelled.
vova2212 [387]
Magnets are attracted when each of the different sides, most commonly known as "North" and "South", are facing each other. They repel when North and North, or South and South are facing each other.

What is the purpose of experimentation in a research study
Nat2105 [25]
Hello,

The answer is to "prove your hypothesis".

Reason:

Researchers do experiments to prove there hypothesis they will most likely do the experiment a few times in older to have the conclusion valid therefore proving his or her experiment. 

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

1/012=1/0.05+1/d' hiiiiiiiiii
klasskru [66]

Correct question is;

1/0.12 = (1/0.05) + (1/d')

Answer:

d' = -1/700

Explanation:

1/0.12 = (1/0.05) + (1/d')

Let's rearrange to get;

(1/d') = (1/0.12) - (1/0.05)

(1/d') = (1/(12/100)) - (1/(5/100))

(1/d') = 100/12 - 100/5

Let's multiply through by 60 to get rid of the denominators on the right side;

> (1/d') = 500 - 1200

> (1/d') = -700

> d' = -1/700
