The climber move 0.19 m/s  faster than surfer on the nearby beach.

Since both the person are on the earth, and moves with the constant angular velocity of earth, however there linear velocity is different.

Number of seconds in a day, t=24*60*60=86400 sec

The linear speed on the beach is calculated as

V1=\frac{2πr}{t}

Here, t is the time

Plugging the values in the above equation

V1=\frac{2π*6.4*10^6}{86400}=465.421 m/s

Velocity on the mountain is calculated as

V2=\frac{2π(r+h)}{t}

Plugging the values in the above equation

V2=\frac{2π(6.4*10^6+2600}{86400}=465.61 m/s

Therefore person on the mountain moves faster than the person on the beach by 465.61-465.421=0.19 m/s

anastassius [24]

Answer:

minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner is 4000 W

Explanation:

given data

students  n = 160

power p = 125 W

COP = 5.0

to find out

what minimum power should be used

solution

we know the COP formula that is given below

COP = students × power  / minimum power

minimum power = n × p / COP

put all value

minimum power = n × p / COP

minimum power = 160 × 125 / 5

minimum power = 4000 W

minimum power should be used to operate the air conditioner is 4000 W

If Emily throws the ball at an angle of 30∘ below the horizontal with a speed of 14m/s, how far from the base of the dorm should
liubo4ka [24]

Emily throws the ball at 30 degree below the horizontal

so here the speed is 14 m/s and hence we will find its horizontal and vertical components

v_x = 14 cos30 = 12.12 m/s

v_y = 14 sin30 = 7 m/s

vertical distance between them

\delta y = 4 m

now we will use kinematics in order to find the time taken by the ball to reach at Allison

\delat y = v_y *t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

here acceleration is due to gravity

a = 9.8 m/s^2

now we will have

4 = 7 * t + \frac{1}{2}*9.8 * t^2

now solving above quadratic equation we have

t = 0.44 s

now in order to find the horizontal distance where ball will fall is given as

d = v_x * t

here it shows that horizontal motion is uniform motion and it is not accelerated so we can use distance = speed * time

d = 12.12 * 0.44 = 5.33 m

so the distance at which Allison is standing to catch the ball will be 5.33 m

The seeds were sown (change the voice)​
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

He sowed the seeds

Explanation:

While the question should have given the person who did the sowing for example the seeds were sown by him/ her/ the farmer/ or any name. Therefore, voice is given in passive and to change passive voice to active voice then the sentence will read as follows assuming that the seeds were sown by him

He sowed the seeds

The drawing shows a person (weight W = 588 N, L1 = 0.838 m, L2 = 0.398 m) doing push-ups. Find the normal force exerted by the f
zhenek [66]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Force on each hand is 196.22 N

Force on each foot is 95.8 N

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding of this question let us explain some concepts

Normal Force:

We can define normal force Fn as that type of force which makes a 90 degree angle with the surface on which it is exerted.

Torque:

We can define torque as the moment of forces that tends to produce or cause rotation

From the question we are given that

Weight of body is (W) = 584 N

The normal force on both hands (Ha) = ?

The normal force on both legs (Lg) = ?

Looking at the diagram the person is at equilibrium so

                 584 = Ha + Lg

an also this mean that torques acting on the body is balanced

         So,   0.410 Ha  = 0.840 Lg

    Making Lg the subject of formula in the equation above we

   Lg = 0.4881 Ha

 Considering the first equation and replacing Lg with this recent equation we have

                      584 = Ha + 0.4881 Ha

          Therefore Ha = 392.44 N

This value obtained is  for both hands for each hand we divide by 2

Therefore we have for each hand = 392.44/2 =196.55 N

Since we have been able to get the force on both hands we can substitute it in to the equation where we made Lg the subject of formula and we have

             Lg = 0.4881 ×  392.44

                  = 191.22 N

The value above is the force on both legs to obtain the force on each leg we have

                  191.22/2 = 95.8 N.

A beam of electrons is sent horizontally down the axis of a tube to strike a fluorescent screen at the end of the tube. On the w
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Explanation:

The answer to this question can be found by applying the right hand rule for which the pointer finger is in the direction of the electron movement, the thumb is pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, so the effect that this will have on the electrons is the direction that the middle finger points in which is right in this example.

So as a result of the magnetic field directed vertically downwards which is at a right angle with the electron beams, the electrons will move to the right and the spot will be deflected to the right of the screen when looking from the electron source.

I hope this answer helps.
