Traveling upstream, which means going against the current of the river, involves important navigation decisions. Buoys and markers indicate how to proceed safety. If you see a buoy with number 4 flashing red as you navigate at dusk, you should pass it on your starboard side (right side). Another buoy, for example, number 5, would have a different indication.

serg [2598]

Answer:

4.1\cdot 10^8 N

Explanation:

To begin with, we must determine the pressure acting on the sphere, which is calculated using:

p=p_0 + \rho g h

where

p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa denotes the atmospheric pressure

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3 represents the density of the water

g=9.8 m/s^2 signifies the acceleration due to gravity

h=11,000 m indicates the depth

By substituting these values,

p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa

The sphere's radius is calculated as r = d/2 = 1.1 m/2 = 0.55 m

Thus, the sphere's total surface area can be expressed as

A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2

Consequently, the inward force acting on the sphere equals

F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N

Select the areas that would receive snowfall because of the lake effect.
Keith_Richards [2268]

Result:

- Grand Marais

- Two Harbors

- Duluth

Explanation:

The locations likely to receive snowfall due to lake effect include Grand Marais, Two Harbors, and Duluth. These areas are situated directly along the shores of Lake Superior, one of the world’s largest lakes. Its substantial water volume significantly influences the local climate, generating a lot of humidity in the air and considerable evaporation, both of which lead to cloud formation and, when temperatures drop adequately, result in significant snowfall rather than rain.

A champion athlete can produce one horsepower (746 W) for a short period of time. The number of 16-cm-high steps a 70-kg athlete
Sav [2230]

Answer:

407 steps

Explanation:

Based on the question,

P = mgh/t........... Equation 1

Where P stands for power, m is mass, g denotes gravity, h is height, and t represents time.

Rearranging the equation to solve for h, we have:

h = Pt/mg............. Equation 2

Providing values: P = 746 W, t = 1 minute = 60 seconds, m = 70 kg.

Given constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

By substituting into equation 2

h = 746(60)/(70×9.8)

h = 44760/686

h = 65.25 m

h = 6525 cm

Calculating number of steps: 6525/16

The resulting number of steps = 407 steps

a pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 seconds later. using the equations for motion with constant acceleration,
inna [2210]
Definamos h como la distancia que hay desde el borde del pozo hasta la superficie del agua (en metros).

Consideremos la gravedad g como 9.8 m/s² y despreciemos la resistencia del aire.

La velocidad inicial vertical del guijarro es nula.
Ya que el guijarro impacta el agua tras 1.5 segundos, entonces:
h = 0.5 * (9.8 m/s²) * (1.5 s)² = 11.025 m

Resultado: 11.025 m

A ski lift is used to transport people from the base of a hill to the top. If the lift leaves the base at a velocity of 15.5 m/s
Yuliya22 [2446]
This can be determined using the principle of energy conservation. The ski lift begins with a velocity of v= 15.5 m/s, and all of its kinetic energy Ek converts into potential energy Ep, thus we set Ep equal to Ek.
Because Ek is given by (1/2)*m*v², where m denotes mass and v represents speed, while Ep equals m*g*h, where m is mass, g is 9.81 m/s², and h is height. Now:

Ek=Ep 

(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, canceling out the mass,

(1/2)*v²=g*h, rearranging for height by dividing by g,

(1/2*g)*v²=h and substituting the values:

h=12.245 m. The hill's height rounded to the nearest tenth is h=12.25 m.
