The drag force F on a boat varies jointly with the wet surface area A of the boat and the square of the speed s of the boat. A b

oat with a wet surface area of 83 ft 2 traveling at 20 mph experiences a drag force of 996 N . Find the wet surface area of a boat traveling 18 mph and experiencing a drag force of 1215 N .

Answer:

Wet surfaces areaA=+25.3ft^2

Explanation:

Using F= K×A× S^2

Where F= drag force

A= surface area

S= speed

Given : F=996N S=20mph A= 83ft^2

K = F/AS^2=996/(83×20^2)

K= 996/33200 = 0.03

1215= (0.03)× A × 18^2

1215=9.7A

A=1215/9.7=125.3ft^2

The howler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 8.9 km. Assume the
exis [7]

Answer:

113.7

Explanation:

maximum distance (s) = 8.9 km

reference intensity (I0) = 1 x 10^{-12} W/m^{2}

power of a juvenile howler monkey (p) = 63 x 10^{-6} W

distance (r) = 210 m

intensity (I) = power/area

where we assume the area of a sphere due to the uniformity of the output in all directions

area = 4πr^{2} =  4π x 210^{2} = 554,176.9 m^{2}

intensity (I) = \frac{63 x 10^{-6} }{554,176.9} = 113.7 x 10^{-12}

therefore the desired ratio I/I0 = \frac{113.7 x 10^{-12}}{1 x 10^{-12}} = 113.7

Kenny and Candy decided to sit on a see-saw while visiting a local play park. Candy, of mass
pochemuha

Answer:

(i) 208 cm from the pivot

(ii) Move further from the pivot

Explanation:

(i) Sum of the moments about the pivot of the seesaw is zero.

∑τ = Iα

(50 kg) (10 N/kg) (2.5 m) + (60 kg) (10 N/kg) x = 0

1250 Nm + 600 N x = 0

x = -2.08 m

Kenny should sit 208 cm on the other side of the pivot.

(ii) To increase the torque, Kenny should move away from the pivot.

satela [25.4K]
<span>First, we use the kinetic energy equation to create a formula: Ka = 2Kb 1/2(ma*Va^2) = 2(1/2(mb*Vb^2)) The 1/2 of the right gets cancelled by the 2 left of the bracket so: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*Vb^2 (1) By the definiton of momentum we can say: ma*Va = mb*Vb And with some algebra: Vb = (ma*Va)/mb (2) Substituting (2) into (1), we have: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*((ma*Va)/mb)^2 Then: 1/2(ma*Va^2) = mb*(ma^2*Va^2)/mb^2 We cancel the Va^2 in both sides and cancel the mb at the numerator, leving the denominator of the right side with exponent 1: 1/2(ma) = (ma^2)/mb Cancel the ma of the left, leaving the right one with exponent 1: 1/2 = ma/mb And finally we have that: mb/2 = ma mb = 2ma</span>
