In this case, the two vectors are in the same direction, so they simply add:

F the boat's velocity is 18m/sec relative to the water in the river and not the shore, it would need to be added the river speed of 2.5m/sec to get a total of 20.5m/sec. The 20.5m/sec would then be the total velocity of the boat relative to the shore. From personal experience, I know that when one runs with the tide, one is adding the tide flow speed to one's boat speed (what it would be in neutral waters) to get a sometimes much faster speed.

By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:
 K = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 where
 m = mass
 v = speed
 We must then find the speed of both objects:
 blue puck
 v = root ((0) ^ 2 + (- 3) ^ 2) = 3
 gold puck
 v = root ((12) ^ 2 + (- 5) ^ 2) = 13
 Then, the kinetic energy of the system will be:
 K = (1/2) * m1 * v1 ^ 2 + (1/2) * m2 * v2 ^ 2
 K = (1/2) * (4) * (3 ^ 2) + (1/2) * (6) * (13 ^ 2)

A stunt car driver testing the use of air bags drives a car at a constant speed of25 m/s for a total of 100m. He applies his bra
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

The graphs are attached

Explanation:

We are told that he starts with a constant speed of 25 m/s for a distance of 100 m.

At constant velocity, v = distance/time

time(t) = distance(d)/velocity(v)

t1 = 100/25

t1 = 4 s

Now, we are told that he applies his brakes and accelerates uniformly to a stop just as he reaches a wall 50m away.

It means, he decelerate and final velocity is zero.

Thus;

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 25² + 2a(50)

25² = - 100a

625 = - 100a

a = - 625/100

a = - 6.25 m/s²

v = u + at

0 = 25 + (-6.25t)

25 = 6.25t

t = 25/6.25

t = 4 s

With the values gotten, kindly find attached the distance-time and velocity-time graphs.

Hot combustion gases enter the nozzle of a turbojet engine at 260 kpa, 747oc, and 80 m/s. the gases exit at a pressure of 85 kpa
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Hot combustion gases are accelerated in a 92% efficient adiabatic nozzle from low velocity to a specified velocity. The exit velocity and the exit temp are to be determined.

 

 

Given:

 

T1 = 1020 K à h1 = 1068.89 kJ/kg, Pr1 = 123.4

P1 = 260 kPa

T1 = 747 degrees Celsius

V1 = 80 m/s ->nN = 92% -> P2 = 85 kPa

Solution:

From the isentropic relation,

Pr2<span> = (P2 / P1)PR1 = (85 kPa / 260 kPa) (123.4) = 40.34 = h2s = 783.92 kJ/kg</span>

 

There is only one inlet and one exit, and thus, m1 = m2 = m3. We take the nozzle as the system, which is a control volume since mass crosses the boundary.

 

h2a = 1068.89 kJ/kg – (((728.2 m/s)­2 – (80 m/s)2) / 2) (1 kJ/kg / 1000 m2/s2) = 806.95 kJ/kg\

From the air table, we read T2a  = 786.3 K

Two flat conductors are placed with their inner faces separated by 6.0 mm. If the surface charge density on one of the inner fac
dangina [55]

Explanation:

Relation between electric field and charge density is as follows.

           E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \epsilon}

where,    \sigma = charge density

              \epsilon = permittivity of free space = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

So,  E_{\text{outside}} = 0

      E_{inside} = \frac{+\sigma}{2 \epsilon} - \frac{-\sigma}{2 \epsilon}

or,     E_{inside} = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}

Now, formula to calculate the potential difference of two conductors is as follows.

         V_{1} - V_{2} = \frac{\sigma \times d}{\epsilon}

It is given that,

           d = 6.0 mm = 6 \times 10^{-3} m

        \sigma = 40 \times 10^{-12} C/m^{2}

Hence, we will calculate the magnitude of the electric potential differences between the two conductors as follows.

        V_{1} - V_{2} = \frac{\sigma \times d}{\epsilon}

                     = \frac{40 \times 10^{-12} \times 6 \times 10^{-3}}{8.85 \times 10^{-12}}      

                     = 0.0271 volts

thus, we can conclude that value of the magnitude of the electric potential differences between the two conductors is 0.0271 volts.
