Answer:

Velocity = 7.2 km/hr SW

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector that includes both speed and direction. Speed is calculated by dividing the distance travelled by the time required for that distance.

Speed = Distance/Time

i'll convert 12,250 meters into 12.250 kilometers (km). Not needed, but it's my preference. Time is 1.7 hours:

Speed = (12.250 km)/(1.7 hr) = 7.2 km/hr (to 2 sig figs)

The direction is southwest, or SW

Velocity = 7.2 km/hr SW

A ferry approaches shore, moving north with a speed of 6.2 m/s relative to the dock. A person on the ferry walks from one side o

jasenka [17]

Speed of Ferry is towards North with magnitude 6.2 m/s

Here if we assume that North direction is along Y axis and East is along X axis then we can say

$\vec v_f = 6.2 \hat j$

Now a person walk on ferry with speed 1.5 m/s towards east with respect to Ferry

so it is given as

$\vec v_{pf} = 1.5 \hat i$

also by the concept of relative motion we know that

$\vec v_{pf} = \vec v_p - \vec v_f$

now plug in all values in it

$1.5 \hat i = \vec v_p - 6.2 \hat j$

$\vec v_p = 1.5 \hat i + 6.2 \hat j$

now if we need to find the speed of the person then we need to find its magnitude

so it is given as

$v = \sqrt{1.5^2 + 6.2^2}$

$v = 6.37 m/s$

The concept required to solve this problem is linked to inductance. This can be defined as the product between the permeability in free space by the number of turns squared by the area over the length. Recall that Inductance is defined as the opposition of a conductive element to changes in the current flowing through it. Mathematically it can be described as

$L = \frac{\mu N^2 A}{l}$
