Answer:

resultant velocity of boat will be 11.2249 m/sec          

Explanation:

We have given speed of boat v_b = 10 m /sec

Velocity pf current flow v_c = 4 m /sec

Angle at which boat is moving = 60°

We have to find the resultant velocity

We know that resultant velocity is given by v_r=\sqrt{v_b^2+v_c^2+2v_bv_rcos\Theta}=\sqrt{10^2+4^2+2\times 10\times 4cos60^{\circ}}=11.2249m/sec

So resultant velocity of boat will be 11.2249 m/sec

sliding friction.
Sliding friction : The opposing force that comes into play when one body is actually sliding over the surface of the other body is called sliding friction. e.g. A flat block is moving over a horizontal table.

Kinetic or dynamic friction: If the applied force is increased further and sets the body in motion, the friction opposing the motion is called kinetic friction

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 33 m/s on a highway. At the instant this car passes an entrance ramp, a second car ent
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

0.8712 m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

Velocity of first car; v1 = 33 m/s

Distance; d = 2.5 km = 2500 m

Acceleration of first car; a1 = 0 m/s² (constant acceleration)

Velocity of second car; v2 = 0 m/s (since the second car starts from rest)

From Newton's equation of motion, we know that;

d = ut + ½at²

Thus,for first car, we have;

d = v1•t + ½(a1)t²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

d = 33t + 0

d = 33t

For second car, we have;

d = v2•t + ½(a2)•t²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

d = 0 + ½(a2)t²

d = ½(a2)t²

Since they meet at the next exit, then;

33t = ½(a2)t²

simplifying to get;

33 = ½(a2)t

Now, we also know that;

t = distance/speed = d/v1 = 2500/33

Thus;

33 = ½ × (a2) × (2500/33)

Rearranging, we have;

a2 = (33 × 33 × 2)/2500

a2 = 0.8712 m/s²

How is Electric current able to flow?
brilliants [131]
Electric potential on one side of the closed circuit is applied and this causes the electrons to move to a position of lower potential. Imagine this as when you raise an object above the ground and release it. It moves from its higher potential energy position above the ground to its lower potential energy position.
