Paula is sailing across a lake. As the boat accelerates, she thinks about how
the wind is pushing on the sail. Which statement below best represents
what is happening between the sail and the air?
A. The sail is pushing the wind back and slowing down the air.
B. The sail and air are not pushing each other, they are just moving together.
C. The air is pushing on the sail, but the sail is not pushing the air.
D. The sail is pushing the wind forward with the air.
Which statement do you most agree with? Explain you reasoning.
Answers
The answer is (A.) The sail is pushing the wind back and slowing down the air. The wind is pushing the sail and the sail pushes the wind back and slows the air down.
As the boat is sailing, the wind will be faster than the boat. This fast wind is obstructed by the sail. That is, the fast wind gets slowed down by the sail because the sail pushes the wind backwards which slows down the wind. This will make the wind push the boat forward thereby accelerating the boat.

A 1.80-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 15.0 N is required to hold the object at rest when it is pulled 0.200 m from its equilibrium position (the origin of the x axis). The object is now released from rest from this stretched position, and it subsequently undergoes simple harmonic oscillations.

Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Force constant = force/displacement = 15/0.2
=75 N/m
(b) For SHM with spring, the angular frequency = sqrt ( force constant / mass )
= sqrt ( 75 / 1.8 )
= 6.455
Frequency = Angular frequency / 2pi
= 1.03Hz
(c) Maximum speed is when object's potential energy is at minimum.
1/2*mass*speed^2 = 1/2*force constant*displacement^2
speed^2 = 75*0.2^2/1.8 = 1.67
speed = sqrt (1.67)
= 1.29 m/s
(d) It occurs at x=0
(e) Maximum acceleration = Force / m = 15/1.8
= 8.33 m/s^2
(f) It occurs at x=0.2m
Answer:
Explanation:
given:
The mass of the object attached to the spring: m = 1.80 kg
The magnitude of the maximum horizontal force exerted: F = 15.0 N
The amplitude of the spring-object oscillation: A = 0.200 m
a. k=15/.2=75N/m
b. (2pi*frequency)^2 = k/m = 75/1.8 = 41.67
frequency = 1.03Hz
c. max speed^2 = amplitude^2*k/m = 0.2^2 * 41.67
max speed = 1.29 m/s
d. x=0m
e. max accel = F/m = 15/1.8 = 8.33 m/s^2
f. x=0.2m
e. energy = 1/2*k*A^2
= 1/2*75*0.2^2
= 1.5J
explain why the rate of diffusion of a gas decreases with decrease in temperature

Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the energy and therefore the movement of the molecules, increasing the rate of diffusion. Lower temperatures decrease the energy of the molecules, thus decreasing the rate of diffusion. Solvent density: As the density of a solvent increases, the rate of diffusion decreases.

On the dog's return trip (between t = 10 and t = 12.5 seconds), the slope of the position function is steeper than during the first 5 seconds, which means the dog ran home faster. The only option that captures this is D.
You can check to make sure that the dog indeed runs twice as fast on the return trip. The slope of the position function during the first 5 seconds is
(change in position) / (change in time) = (5 - 0) / (5 - 0) = 5/5 = 1
while during the return trip, it is
(0 - 5) / (12.5 - 10) = -5/2.5 = -2
Ignoring the sign (which only indicates the direction in which the dog was running), we see that the dog's speed on the return trip was indeed twice as high as during the first 5 s.

hello your question has some missing values attached below is the complete question with the missing values
answer :
a) 0.083 secs
b) 0.33 secs
c) 3e^-4/3
Explanation:
Given that
g = 32 ft/s^2 , spring constant ( k ) = 2 Ib/ft
initial displacement = 1 ft above equilibrium
mass = weight / g = 4/32 = 1/8
damping force = instanteous velocity hence β = 1
a)Calculate the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position.
time mass passes through equilibrium = 1/12 seconds = 0.083
b) Calculate the time at which the mass attains its extreme displacement
time when mass attains extreme displacement = 1/3 seconds = 0.33 secs
c) What is the position of the mass at this instant
position = 3e^-4/3

1.) The only unbalanced force acting on it is air resistance.
2.) The forces acting on it are balanced so the net force is zero.
3.) The upward force is greater than the combined downward forces of gravity and air resistance, making it move upward.
4.) There are no forces acting on it so the net force is zero.

If ans is correct reply for explanation.
The typical focal length formula looks as follows: 1/Focal length = 1/Image distance + 1/Object distance , where: Image distance and Object distance are given in mm.
1/f = 1/u + 1/v
1/f = 1/133 + 1/22.5
= 0.007 + 0.044
= 0.0514 mm
What is focal length ?"The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light; it is the inverse of the system's optical power. A positive focal length indicates that a system converges light, while a negative focal length indicates that the system diverges light."

A 35 g block of ice is cooled to −83 ◦C. It is added to 565 g of water in an 87 g copper calorimeter at a temperature of 22◦C. Find the final temperature. The specific heat of copper is 387 J/kg · ◦C and of ice is 2090 J/kg · ◦C . The latent heat of fusion of water is 3.33 × 105 J/kg and its specific heat is 4186 J/kg · ◦C . Answer in units of ◦C.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Heat gained by ice in warming up to 0⁰C = .035 x 2090 x (83-0)= 6071.45 J
heat used up by ice to melt at 0⁰C = .035 x 3.33 x 10⁵ J = 11655 J
Heat used up in warming up water to t⁰C = .035 x 4186 x t = 146.51 t
heat released by warm water to cool from 22⁰C to t = .565 x 4186 x ( 22 - t )
=52032 -2365.1 t
heat released by copper calorimeter to cool from 22⁰C to t = .087 x 387 x ( 22 - t ) = 740.72 - 33.7 t
total heat released = 52032 -2365.1 t + 740.72 - 33.7 t
= 52772.72 - 2398.8 t
Heat lost = heat gained
52772.72 J- 2398.8 t = 6071.45 J + 11655 J + 146.51 t
2545.31 t = 35046.27
t = 13.8°C.

E = hf
Where:
E => is the energy
h => is the Planck's constant
f => is the frequency
From the equation i.e E = hf, we can conclude that the energy of a wave is directly proportional to it's frequency. This implies that an increase in the frequency of the wave will lead to an increase in the energy of the wave and also, a decrease in the frequency will lead to a decrease in the energy of the wave.
23. Gamma ray and radio wave are both electromagnetic waves. All electromagnetic waves has a constant speed of 3×10⁸ m/s in space.
