<h2>Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.</h2>

Explanation:

Let speed of motor boat be m and speed of current be c.

A motorboat traveling with a current can go 160 km in 4 hours.

   Distance = 160 km

   Time = 4 hours

    Speed = m + c

   We have

            Distance = Speed x Time

            160 = (m+c) x 4

            m + c = 40     --------------------- eqn 1

Against the current it takes 5 hours to go the same distance.

   Distance = 160 km

   Time = 5 hours

    Speed = m - c

   We have

            Distance = Speed x Time

            160 = (m-c) x 5

            m - c = 32     --------------------- eqn 2

eqn 1 + eqn 2

           2m = 40 + 32

             m = 36 km/hr

Substituting in eqn 1

               36 + c = 40

                      c = 4 km/hr

Speed of motorboat is 36 km/hr and speed of current is 4 km/hr.

Part A What is the resistance of a 4.4 m length of copper wire 1.3 mm n diameter? The resistivity of copper is 1.68x 10-8 Ω-m Ex
Natalija [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Length of the copper wire, l = 4.4 m

Diameter of copper wire, d = 1.3 mm = 0.0013 m

Radius of copper wire, r = 0.00065 m

The resistivity of the copper wire, \rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the resistance of the copper wire. It is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}

R=1.68\times 10^{-8}\ \times \dfrac{4.4\ m}{\pi (0.00065)^2}

R =0.055 ohms

So, the resistance of the copper wire is 0.055 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

Initially, a particle is moving at 5.25 m/s at an angle of 35.5° above the horizontal. Three seconds later, its velocity is 6.0
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

 a =( -0.32 i ^ - 2,697 j ^)  m/s²

Explanation:

This problem is an exercise of movement in two dimensions, the best way to solve it is to decompose the terms and work each axis independently.

Break down the speeds in two moments

initial

  v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

  v₀ₓ = 5.25 cos 35.5

v₀ₓ = 4.27 m / s

   v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

 v_{oy}= 5.25 sin35.5

v_{oy} = 3.05 m / s

Final

vₓ = 6.03 cos (-56.7)

vₓ = 3.31 m / s

v_{y} = v₀ sin θ

v_{y} = 6.03 sin (-56.7)

v_{y} = -5.04 m / s

Having the speeds and the time, we can use the definition of average acceleration that is the change of speed in the time order

    a = (v_{f} - v₀) /t

    aₓ = (3.31 -4.27)/3

    aₓ = -0.32 m/s²

    a_{y} = (-5.04-3.05)/3

   a_{y} =  -2.697 m/s²
