Answer :
The distance is 109.89 m.
Explanation :
Given that,
Height = 40 m
Angle = 20°
We need to calculate the base of the plateau
Using formula of angle

Where, h = height
x = base
= angle
Put the value into the formula



Hence, The distance is 109.89 m.
Answer:
a). A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.
TRUE
Because there is no energy loss in presence of conservative forces so energy conversion in two ways are possible.
b). A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.
TRUE
negative gradient of potential energy is equal to conservative force

c). A non-conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.
FALSE
here energy is lost against non-conservative forces
d). The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken.
FALSE
work done by conservative force is independent of path
e). The work done by a non-conservative force depends on the path taken.
TRUE
work done by non conservative forces depends on path.
f). A potential energy function can be specified for a non-conservative force.
FALSE
It is not defined for non conservative forces
Answer:
speed of current is 5 mile/hr
Explanation:
GIVEN DATA:
speed of motorboat = 15 miles/hr relative with water
let c is speed of current
15-c is speed of boat at upstream
15+c is speed of boat at downstream
we know that
travel time=distance/speed

150+10c+150-10c=1.5(15-c)(15+c)
300=1.5(225-c^2)
300=337.5-1.5c^2
200=225-c^2
c^2=25
c = 5
so speed of current is 5 mile/hr
