A woman launches a boat from one shore of a straight river and wants to land at the point directly on the opposite shore. If the

speed of the boat is 10 mph and the river is flowing east at 5mph, in what direction should she head the boat in order to arrive at the desired landing point

Answer:

If she stands on the North side of a river flowing to the East at 5 mph,

she must head towards the SouthWest to arrive on the South side of the river directly across from her starting point and we have

x^2 + 5^2 = 10^2 where x is her speed directly across the river

x = (75)^1/2 = 8.66 mph towards the South

sin theta = 5 / 10 = 1/2

She must angle the boat at 30 deg from straight South

The position of a particle moving along the x axis varies in time according to the expression x = 4t 2, where x is in meters and
Pie

Answer:

a) X = 17.64 m

b) X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

c) Velocity = lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 16.8 m/s

Explanation:

a) The position at t = 2.10s is:  

                 X = 4t^2

                 X = 4(2.10)^2

                 X = 17.64 m

b) The position at t = 2.10 + ∆t s  will be:

                 X = 4(2.10 + ∆t)^2

                 X = 17.64 + 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t  m

c) ∆X is the difference between position at t = 2.10s and t = 2.10 + ∆t so,

                 ∆X= 4∆t^2 + 16.8∆t

Divide by ∆t on both sides:  

                ∆X/∆t =  4∆t + 16.8

 Taking the limit as ∆t approaches to zero we get:  

              Velocity =lim(∆t→0)⁡〖∆X/∆t〗 = 4(0) + 16.8

              Velocity = 16.8 m/s

A car speeds up from 13 m/s to 23 m/s in 30 seconds. What is the
Lapatulllka [165]

acceleration of the car = 0.33 m/s²

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration of the car we use the following formula:

acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

change in velocity = 23 m/s - 13 m/s = 10 m/s

change in velocity = 10 m/s

acceleration = 10 m/s / 30 s

acceleration = 0.33 m/s²
