A man is crossing a river of width 100 m on a motorboat. The velocity of the motor boat is 4 m/s eastward and the velocity of th

e water current is 3 m/s northward. What is the resultant velocity of the boat and how much time will it take for the man to reach the other shore of the river?

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the boat = 5 m/s

The time it will take for the man to reach the other shore of the river =  25 s

Explanation:

width of river = 100 m

The velocity of the motorboat = 4 m/s eastward

The velocity of the water current = 3 m/s northward

The resultant velocity of the boat is:

R^2 = 4^2 + 3^2

= √ (4^2) + (3^2)

= √16 + 9

=√25

= 5 m/s

The time it will take for the man to reach the other shore of the river is:

d = 100 m

v = 4 m/s

t = d / v

t = 100 / 4

t =  25 s

What voltage battery would you need to send 2.5A of current through a light bulb of resistance 3.6 ohm
nadezda [96]
<h3><u>Given</u> :</h3>

Current flow light bulb = 2.5\sf{A}

Resistance of light bulb = 3.6Ω

<h3><u>To Find </u>:</h3>

We have to find voltage of battery.

<h3><u>Solution</u> :</h3>

➠ As per ohm's law, current flow through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied potential difference.

➝ V ∝ I

➝ <u>V = I × R</u>

Where, R is the resistance of conductor.

⇒ V = I × R

⇒ V = 2.5 × 3.6

⇒ <u>V = 9 volt</u>

A car, starting from the origin, travels
sweet [91]

Answer:

The net displacement of the car is 3 km West

Explanation:

Please see the attached drawing to understand the car's trajectory: First in the East direction for 4 km (indicated by the green arrow that starts at the origin (zero), and stops at position 4 on the right (East).

Then from that position, it moves back towards the West going over its initial path, it goes through the origin and continues for 3 more km completing a moving to the West a total of 7 km. This is indicated in the drawing with an orange trace that end in position 3 to the left (West) of zero.

So, its NET displacement considered from the point of departure (origin at zero) to the final point where the trip ended, is 3 km to the west.

Two identical conducting spheres are placed 80.0 cm apart. One is given a charge of 5.8 C and the other is given a charge of 6.4
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: 5.214(10)^{11} N

Explanation:

According to <u>Coulomb's Law:</u>  

<em>"The electrostatic force F_{E} between two point charges q_{1} and q_{2} is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance d that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".</em>

<em />

Mathematically this law is written as:

F_{E}=K\frac{q_{1}.q_{2}}{d^{2}}  

Where:

F_{E}  is the electrostatic force

K=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2} is the Coulomb's constant  

q_{1}=5.8 C and q_{2}=6.4 C are the electric charges

d=80 cm \frac{1 m}{100 cm}=0.8 m is the separation distance between the charges

Solving:

F_{E}=8.99(10)^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2}\frac{(5.8 C)(6.4 C)}{(0.8 m)^{2}}  

F_{E}=5.214(10)^{11} N
