. a boat can travel in still water. (a) if the boat points directly across a stream whose current is what is the velocity (magni

tude and direction) of the boat relative to the shore? (b) what will be the position of the boat, relative to its point of origin, after 3.00 s?

a) The velocity of the boat relative to the shore is 3.40 m/s and b) The position of the boat relative to its point of origin after 3s is 10.20m.

Here it is given that the speed of the boat (x) = 2.20m/s

The speed of the stream current (y) = 1.20m/s

a) We have to find the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

The speed of the boat = x + y

                                    = 2.20 + 1.20

                                    = 3.40m/s

b) Now we have to find the position of the boat after 3s

The formula for speed:

Speed = Distance/ Time

distance = speed × time

speed = 3.40m/s

Time = 3s

distance = 3.40 × 3

              = 10.20 m

Therefore we get a) speed as 3.40m/s and b) distance as 10.20m.

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 9.2 m/s hits a 5.0 m wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continue
enot [183]

Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Mr. Galonski loves to use the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Create a scenario in which Mr. Galonski is using waves from the electrom
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Scenario:

On a normal Sunday afternoon Mr. Golanski is sitting in his living room reading his book. He decides after a while to turn on the Television to see what’s on the news, (Mr. Golanski is using Radio waves when he turns his television on by signaling the TV from his remote control). After a few hours Mr. Golanski decides it’s time to have dinner. He heats up a quick meal in his microwave because he doesn’t have the patience for cooking. (He is using microwave radiation to heat his food because water molecules in food absorb the radiation). He sits down for his meal, and halfway through he starts to choke! In a panicked frenzy he runs to his bathroom to try and dislodge the obstacle from his throat. By doing so he switched on the fluorescent lights in his bathroom exposing himself to small amounts of ultraviolet radiation. (Fluorescent lights absorb UV radiation and transmit visible light along with small amounts of UV light). Unable to dislodge the obstacle from his throat Mr. Golanski seeks help from his neighbor who drives him straight to the ER. To treat him properly the physicians opt for a fluoroscopy to examine Mr. Golanski’s esophageal tract. (Thus he is making use of X-ray imaging to obtain a visual of his internal esophageal structure to check for the obstruction). Once treated and discharged from the hospital Mr. Golanski returns home grateful to have survived this ordeal with minimum damage.

Explanation:

The Electromagnetic Spectrum is the range of frequencies and wavelengths for different light waves. They range with increasing frequency from Radio waves, to Microwaves, to Infrared waves, to Visible waves, to Ultraviolet waves, to Infrared waves, to X-rays, and to Gamma rays. Several of which we use in our daily lives such as Radio waves when operating our television or using our cellular phones. We also use microwaves to heat our food or for communication with satellites. We are also exposed to natural Ultraviolet radiation from the sun; however, we can also get exposed to other forms such as from certain types of light bulbs. We see visible light in the form of all the colors we can detect around us. We make use of x-rays for imaging techniques widely used in medicine for diagnostics, as well as Infrared waves in our home security systems. The electromagnetic spectrum is always used as a part of our everyday life.
