Answer:

The time taken will be 243.92 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 1500 km/h

We know that,

The radius of Saturn is 58232 km.

We need to calculate the circumference of Saturn

Using formula of circumference

$C= 2\pi r$

Pu the value into the formula

$C=2\pi\times 58232$

$C=365882.44\ km$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of distance

$v = \dfrac{d}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Where, d = circumference

v = velocity

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{365882.44}{1500}$

$t=243.92\ hours$

Hence, The time taken will be 243.92 hours.

Answer:

252.45 hours or 908820 seconds

Explanation:

The equatorial radius of Saturn is 60,268 km

The length of the equator will be circumference

$2\pi 60268$

Speed of the equatorial flow = 1500 km/h

$Time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}\\\Rightarrow Time=\dfrac{2\pi 60268}{1500}\\\Rightarrow Time=252.45\ h=252.45\times 60\times 60=908820\ s$

It will take 252.45 hours or 908820 seconds for the equatorial flow to encircle the planet.

In springboard diving, the diver strides out to the end of the board, takes a jump onto its end, and uses the resultant spring-l

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the diver in the problem, we have:

$u=+6.3 m/s$ is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)

$a=g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:

$v=+6.3 + (-9.8)(1.7)=-10.4 m/s$

And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.

A curtain hangs straight down in front of an open window. A sudden gust of wind blows past the window; and the curtain is pulled

VikaD [51]

Answer:

option B.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B.

The phenomenon of the curtains to pull out of the window can be explained using Bernoulli's equation.

According to Bernoulli's Principle when the speed of the moving fluid increases the pressure within the fluid decrease.

When wind flows in the outside window the pressure outside window decreases and pressure inside the room is more so, the curtain moves outside because of low pressure.

Human muscles have an efficiency of about __________. A. 9 to 17% B. 18 to 26% C. 27 to 35% D. 36 to 44%

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer would be B. 18 to 26%.

The muscle efficiency is calculated by dividing mechanical work output by total metabolic cost.

It is estimated that human muscles have an efficiency of about 18% to 26%.

The efficiency is low because most of the energy is lost when food energy is converted into ATP (adenosine triphophate).

In addition, there is second energy loss when energy in the form of ATP is converted into the mechanical energy such as rowing, cycling et cetera.
