Answer:

dam/hydro power

Explanation:

estuary is the place where rivers meet the ocean, there are a lot of currents there (waves...) so it likely means thery use a dam or some sort of way of collecting electricity from the motion of the water there. many birds live in estuaries because of being able to find fish to feed from

If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20 m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder

kakasveta [241]

Question:

A 63.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 4.20m/s square. What is the net external force on him? If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder for the 100-m dash, what will be his time for the race?

Answer:

Time for the race will be t = 9.26 s

Explanation:

Given data:

As the sprinter starts the race so initial velocity = v₁ = 0

Distance = s₁ = 20 m

Acceleration = a = 4.20 ms⁻²

Distance = s₂ = 100 m

We first need to find the final velocity (v₂) of sprinter at the end of the first 20 meters.

Using 3rd equation of motion

(v₂)² - (v₁)² = 2as₁ = 2(4.2)(20)

v₂ = 12.96 ms⁻¹

Time for 20 m distance = t₁ = (v₂ - v ₁)/a

t₁ = 12.96/4.2 = 3.09 s

He ran the rest of the race at this velocity (12.96 m/s). Since has had already covered 20 meters, he has to cover 80 meters more to complete the 100 meter dash. So the time required to cover the 80 meters will be

Time for 100 m distance = t₂ = s₂/v₂

t₂ = 80/12.96 = 6.17 s

Total time = T = t₁ + t₂ = 3.09 + 6.17 = 9.26 s

T = 9.26 s

As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -

postnew [5]

Answer:

-2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

Explanation:

So, we are given the following data or information or parameters that is going to help us to solve the problem effectively and efficiently;

=> " the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -1.4 V during one revolution. "

=> " Assuming the shuttle is a conducting sphere of radius 15 m".

So, in order to estimate the value for the charge we will be making use of the equation below:

Charge, C =( radius × voltage or potential difference) ÷ Coulomb's law constant.

Note that the value of Coulomb's law constant = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

So, charge = { 15 × (- 1.4)} / 9 x 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2.

= -2.3 × 10^-9 Coulombs(C).

I don’t think we can answer this question with the information given. ANY ball thrown with ANY initial velocity v will be observed at a height h twice and with a time interval Δt.

A race is held between a sports car and a motorcycle. The sports car can accelerate at 5.0 m/s^2 and the motorcycle can accelera

Answer:

Vf₁ = 30 m/s

s₂ = 90 m

car wins the race.

Explanation:

To find the speed of car after 5 s, we use 1st equation of motion:

Vf₁ = Vi₁ + a₁t₁

where,

Vf₁ = Final Speed of Car = ?

Vi₁ = Initial Speed of Car = 0 m/s

a₁ = acceleration of car = 5 m/s²

t₁ = time = 5 s

Therefore,

Vf₁ = 0 m/s + (5 m/s²)(5 s)

Vf₁ = 25 m/s

To find the distance of motorcycle after 6 s, we use 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = Vi₂ t₂ + (1/2)a₂t₂²

where,

s₂ = distance covered by the motorcycle = ?

Vi₁ = Initial Speed of motorcycle = 0 m/s

a₂ = acceleration of motorcycle = 8 m/s²

t₂ = time = 6 s

Therefore,

s₂ = (0 m/s)(6 s) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)(6 s)²

s₂ = 90 m

We can use 2nd equation of motion to find time taken by each car and motorcycle to reach the finish point:

For Car:

s₁ = Vi₁ t₁ + (1/2)a₁t₁²

where,

s₁ = 200 m - 50 m = 150 m (since, car starts 50 m ahead)

Therefore.

150 m = (0 m/s)(t₁) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)t₁²

t₁ = √60 s²

t₁ = 7.74 s

For Motorcycle:

s₂ = Vi₂ t₂ + (1/2)a₂t₂²

where,

s₁ = 200 m

Therefore.

200 m = (0 m/s)(t₂) + (1/2)(5 m/s²)t₂²

t₂ = √80 s²

t₂ = 8.94 s

Since, the car takes less time to reach finish line.

Therefore, car wins the race.
