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

1. A kangaroo hops 84 m to the east in 7 seconds.
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance hopped  = 84m

Displacement  = 84m due east

Time  = 7s

Unknown:

Speed of kangaroo  = ?

Velocity of kangaroo  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time }   = \frac{84}{7}  = 12m/s

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}   = \frac{84}{7}   = 12m/s due east

What is the mass of a crate if a net force of 12 N gives the crate an acceleration of 0.20 m/s2?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A :-) for this question , we should apply
F = ma
Given - F = 12 N
a = 0.20 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
12 = m x 0.20
m = 12 by 0.20
m = 60 kg

.:. The mass is 60 kg.

What kind of light would be the best to use to look inside a cold dark cloud and see the warm stars forming inside?
lys-0071 [83]
<h2>Answer: Infrared light</h2>

A dark nebula is a cloud of dust and cold gas, which does not emit visible light and hides the stars it contains.

These types of nebulae are composed mainly of the hydrogen they obtain from nearby stars, which is their fuel.

It is using infrared light that we can "observe" and analyze in detail what happens in the inner parts of these nebulae.

If the voltage across a circuit of constant resistance is doubled, the power dissipated by that circuit will
densk [106]

Answer:

The voltage will quadruple

Explanation:

The power dissipated in a circuit is given by

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

In this problem, the voltage across the circuit is doubled:

V' = 2V

So the new power dissipated is

P'=\frac{V'^2}{R}=\frac{(2V)^2}{R}=4\frac{V^2}{R}=4 P

so, the power dissipated will quadruple.

Answer:

The Principle of Progression

(I searched it up since I never learned this)

Explanation:

The principle of progression states that a person should start slowly and increase exercise gradually. Since Mandy is just getting started on her exercise routine, she should begin with a few workouts over a large span of time, then work her way up so she can do more workouts in a shorter span of time.
