Can you check this? Samantha swam upstream for some distance in one hour. She then swam downstream the same river for the same d

istance in only 12 minutes. If the river flows at 4 mph, how fast can Samantha swim in still water?

Choose the most logical value for the variable to represent. Let x= Kelli's swimming speed in still water

A frictionless inclined plane is 8.0 m long and rests on a wall that is 2.0 m high. How much force is needed to push a block of
adoni [48]

Given Information:  

Inclined plane length = 8 m

Inclined plane height = 2 m

Weight of ice block = 300 N

Required Information:  

Force required to push ice block = F = ?  

Answer:  

Force required to push ice block =  75 N

Explanation:  

The force required to push this block of ice on a inclined plane is given by

F = Wsinθ

Where W is the weight of the ice block and θ is the angle as shown in the attached image.

Recall from trigonometry ratios,

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

Where opposite is height of the inclined plane and hypotenuse in the length of the inclined plane.

sinθ = 2/8

θ = sin⁻¹(2/8)

θ = 14.48°

F = 300*sin(14.48)

F = 75 N

Therefore, a force of 75 N is required to push this ice block on the given inclined plane.

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}

where

\Delta L is the change in length of the object

L_0 is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have L_0 = 4 m and \Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m, therefore the strain is

S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}

A water-skier with weight Fg = mg moves to the right with acceleration a. A horizontal tension force T is exerted on the skier b
Degger [83]

Answer:

The correct relationships are T-fg=ma and L-fg=0.

(A) and (C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight Fg = mg

Acceleration = a

Tension = T

Drag force = Fa

Vertical force = L

We need to find the correct relationships

Using balance equation

In horizontally,

The acceleration is a

T-Fd=ma...(I)

In vertically,

No acceleration

w=L

mg-L=0

Put the value of mg

L-fg=0....(II)

Hence,  The correct relationships are T-fg=ma and L-fg=0.

(A) and (C) is correct option.

the flow energy of 124 L/min of a fluid passing a boundary to a system is 108.5 kJ/min. Determine the pressure at this point
Andreyy89

Answer:

The pressure at this point is 0.875 mPa

Explanation:

Given that,

Flow energy = 124 L/min

Boundary to system P= 108.5 kJ/min

P=1.81\ kW

We need to calculate the pressure at this point

Using formula of pressure

P=F\times v

P=A_{1}P_{1}\times v_{1}

Here, A_{1}v_{1}=Q_{1}

Where, v = velocity

Put the value into the formula

1.81 =P_{1}\times0.124\times\dfrac{1}{60}

P_{1}=\dfrac{1.81\times60}{0.124}

P_{1}=875.80\ kPa

P_{1}=0.875\ mPa

Hence, The pressure at this point is 0.875 mPa
