The English Channel is 35 km wide at its narrowest point, which is where most swimmers attempt to cross north to south from England to France. The current across this portion of the English Channel runs at about 2 km/h east to west.

a. If a swimmer has a relative velocity to the shore of 3 km/h north to south, how long will it take her to cross the 35 km distance?

b. What must be her velocity relative to the water if she has a velocity of 3 km/h north to south relative to the shore?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a.) 20.4 h

b.) 3.46 km/h

Explanation:

Given that an English Channel is 35 km wide at its narrowest point, which is where most swimmers attempt to cross north to south from England to France. The current across this portion of the English Channel runs at about 2 km/h east to west.

a.) If a swimmer has a relative velocity to the shore of 3 km/h north to south, The resultant velocity (Vr) will be achieved by using Pythagoras theorem  

Vr = [tex]\sqrt{2^{2} + 3^{2} }[/tex]

Vr = [tex]\sqrt{4 + 9}[/tex]

Vr = [tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex]

Vr = 3.46 m/s

To get how long it take her to cross the 35 km distance, Let us first find acceleration by using third equation of motion.

[tex]V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS[/tex]

Where U = 0

Substitute all the parameters into the equation

[tex]3.46^{2} = 2 x a x 35[/tex]

11.97 = 70a

a = 11.97/70

a = 0.17 km/h^2

The time can be found by using equation

V = U + at

let U = 0

3.46 = 0.17t

t = 3.46/0.17

t = 20.35h

b. What must be her velocity relative to the water if she has a velocity of 3 km/h north to south relative to the shore?

her velocity relative to the water will be

Vr = [tex]\sqrt{2^{2} + 3^{2} }[/tex]

Vr = [tex]\sqrt{4 + 9}[/tex]

Vr = [tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex]

Vr = 3.46 m/s

What is temperature? Using the example of the pot of boiling water, describe how you think temperature is related to thermal energy.

Answers

Answer:

An example would be "The soup is boiling hot and has a temperature of 100 °C, whereas the water in the tub is just comfortably warm, with a temperature of about 38 °C. Although the water in the tub has a much lower temperature, it has greater thermal energy".

Explanation:

Thermal energy and temperature are closely related. Both reflect the kinetic energy of moving particles of matter. However, temperature is the average kinetic energy of particles of matter, whereas thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles of matter.

An insulated rigid tank initially contains 1.4-kg saturated liquid water and water vapor at 200°C. At this state, 25 percent of the volume is occupied by liquid water and the rest by vapor. Now an electric resistor placed in the tank is turned on, and the tank is observed to contain saturated water vapor after 20 min. Determine:


(a) the volume of the tank

(b) the final temperature

(c) the electric power rating of the resistor

Answers

Solution:

Mass of liquid water and water vapor in the insulated tank initially = 1.4 kg

Temperature = 200 °C

And 25% of the volume by liquid water is steam.

State 1

[tex]$m=\frac{V}{v}$[/tex]

[tex]$m=m_f+m_g$[/tex]

[tex]$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{v_f}+\frac{0.75V}{v_g}$[/tex]

[tex]$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{1.1565 \times 10^{-3}}+\frac{0.75V}{0.1274}$[/tex]       (taking the value of [tex]$v_g$[/tex] and [tex]$v_g$[/tex] at 200°C  )

[tex]$V=6.304 \times 10^{-3}$[/tex]

Now quality of vapor

[tex]$x=\frac{m_g}{m}$[/tex]

  [tex]$=3.377 \times 10^{-3}$[/tex]

Internal energy at state 1 can be found out by

[tex]$u_1=u_f+xu_{fg}$[/tex]

    [tex]$=850.65+3.377\times10^{-3}\times 1744.65$[/tex]

    = 856.54 kJ/kg

After heating with the resistor for 20 minutes, at state 2, the tank contains saturated water vapor [tex]$v_2=v_g \text { and }\ x=1$[/tex]

Tank is rigid, so volume of tank is constant.

[tex]$v_g=v_2=\frac{V}{m}$[/tex]

[tex]$v_g=\frac{6.304\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}$[/tex]

[tex]$v_g=4.502 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3 /kg$[/tex]

Now interpolate the value to get temperature at state 2 with specific volume value to get final temperature

[tex]$T_2=360+(374.14-360)\left(\frac{0.004502-0.006945}{0.003155-0.006945}\right)$[/tex]

   = 369.11° C

Internal energy at state 2

[tex]$u_2=2154.9 \ kJ/kg$[/tex]

Now power rating of the resistor

[tex]$P=\frac{m(u_2-u_1)}{t}$[/tex]

[tex]$P=\frac{1.4(2154.9-856.54)}{20 \times 60}$[/tex]

  = 1.51 kW

You are an astronomer on planet tirth, which orbits a distant star. it has recently been accepted that tirth is spherical in shape, though no one knows its size. one day, you learn that on the equinox your sun is directly overhead in the city of tyene, located 750 kilometers due north of you. on the equinox, you go outside in alectown and observe that the altitude of your sun is 87.0 ∘.

Answers

Answer:

The circumference of planet tirth is [tex]C = 90000 \ km[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The distance of tyene from the observer is  [tex]d = 750 \ km[/tex]

   The altitude of the sun from the equinox is   [tex]\theta_s = 87.0^o[/tex]

Generally given that on the equinox your sun is directly overhead in the city of tyene , then the altitude of the tyene from the equinox is  [tex]\theta_e = 90 ^o[/tex]

Generally the angular distance between tyene and the sun as observed from the equinox is mathematically represented as

         [tex]\theta _d = \theta_e - \theta_s[/tex]

=>       [tex]\theta _d = 90 -87[/tex]

=>       [tex]\theta _d =3^o[/tex]

Generally the ratio of [tex]\theta _d =3^o[/tex] to  [tex]360^o[/tex] which is the total angle in a circle is equal to the ratio of  [tex]d = 750 \ km[/tex] to the circumference of the planet

So

         [tex]\frac{\theta_d}{360} = \frac{750}{C}[/tex]

=>      [tex]\frac{3}{360} = \frac{750}{C}[/tex]

=>     [tex]C = 90000 \ km[/tex]

Reena has rolled down her toy car through a ramp. When she increases the height of the ramp (10 cm ) the car has travelled 5 metres and she increases the height of the ramp (13 cm) the car has travelled 6 metres . What happened when she raises the height of the ramp?

Answers

Answer:

As she raises the height of the ramp, the speed of the toy car decreases.

Explanation:

Speed is the ratio of the distance traveled by an object to the time taken.

i.e speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

From the given question, it would be observed that:

i. when the height of the ramp was 10 cm, the car traveled 5 meters.

ii. when the height of the ramp was increased to 13 cm, the car traveled 6 meters.

Therefore, an increase in the height of the ramp causes a decrease in the speed of the toy car so that the distance traveled per unit time increases. Showing that there is an inverse relationship between the height of the ramp and the speed of the toy car.

Which type of carbohydrate is the body unable to digest, but is still important for lowering cholesterol, balances glucose levels, and helps prevent overeating.

Answers

Answer:

Cellulose

Explanation:

Cellulose is the carbohydrate which is unable to be digested by body. Adding fiber's (cellulose)  to one's diet reduces blood cholesterol level because soluble fiber  dissolves in water to form a gel, which moves slowly through the intestines binding up fat, dietary cholesterol, bile salts, and sugar to be excreted. Once excreted, these are no longer available to build more cholesterol. Also cellulose remains undigested but is effectively making one gain more calories, so it helps prevents over eating.

How does the observed pitch of the buzzer change as it moves
observer?
pitch of the buzzer increased (higher tone) as it moves towards the observer
The pitch of the buzzer decreased (lower tone) as it moves towards the observer
The pitch of the buzzer stayed the same no matter where it was in relationship
to the observer

Answers

The answer is

Pitch of the buzzer increased (higher tone) as it moves towards the observer

The correct option that explains the change in the observed pitch of the buzzer as it moves  towards the observer is;

A; pitch of the buzzer increased (higher tone) as it moves towards the observer

This is based on the concept of doppler effect which is defined as the change in frequency/pitch of a sound that is heard by an observer due to the fact that the sound source and the observer have different velocities with respect to the medium  through the sound travels.

Now, according to doppler effect, when the source of the sound moves towards the observer, the frequency will increase due to the fact that the time between successive sound waves is shortened. Thus, this means that the pitch will be higher.

However, when the sound source moves away from the observer, the frequency would decrease due to the fact that the time between successive sound waves or the crest is now longer. Thus, the pitch will decrease.

In conclusion, the pitch of the buzzer will increase as it moves towards the observer.

Vp = 66.67 [mi/h]

Explanation:

To solve this type of problem we must remember that speed is defined as the relationship of space between time.

speed = distance/time

7)

v = speed = 100 [km/h]

distance = 750 [km]

time = distance/speed

time = 750/100

t = 7.5 [h]

8)

v1 = 200/3 = 66.67[mi/h]

v2 = 100/1.5 = 66.67 [mi/h]

Vp = average speed = (v1+v2/2)

Vp = (66.67 + 66.67)/2

Vp = 66.67 [mi/h]

terms of a. Support your answer with reasoning and reference to Newton's Second Law.

Answers

Answer:

a' = 3a

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law gives the magnitude of the unbalanced force applied to an object as follows:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied

m = Mass of Object

a = acceleration

FOR RAMONA'S PUSH:

F = F

m = m

a = a

Therefore,

F = ma  

a = F/m   ---------------- equation (1)

FOR FRANSICO'S PUSH:

F = 3F

m = m  (mass of turtle will be same)

a = a'

Therefore,

3F = ma'  

a' = 3F/m

using equation 1

a' = 3a
