Let x mph be the speed of the ship in still water.
Against the current, the net speed is, (x-1.9) mph.
Time, t= distance, d/ Speed, v => 9= 113.4/(x-1.9) => 9(x-1.9) = 113.4 => x-1.9 = 113.4/9 => x = 12.6+1.9 = 14.5 mph

Moving with the current, the net speed of the ship = 14.5+1.9 =16.4 mph

Time take, t = d/v = 113.4/16.4 = 6.915 hours

hi, Need help with triangle law of vector addition worksheet and a verifying Newtons second law worksheet?
Yuri [45]

Use Newton's second law and the free body diagram to determine the net force and acceleration of an object. In this unit, the forces acting on the object were always directed in one dimension.

The object may have been subjected to both horizontal and vertical forces but there was no single force directed both horizontally and vertically. Moreover, when free-body diagram analysis was performed, the net force was either horizontal or vertical, never both horizontal and vertical.

Times have changed and we are ready for situations involving two-dimensional forces. In this unit, we explore the effects of forces acting at an angle to the horizontal. This makes the force act in two dimensions, horizontal and vertical. In such situations, as always in situations involving one-dimensional network forces, Newton's second law applies.

George walks to a friend's house. He walks 850 meters north before he realizes he walked too far.
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

<h2>44 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

In this problem we are expected to calculate the velocity of Georges movements.

Given data

Total distance covered by  George= 850+250= 1100 meters

Time taken  by  George to cover the total distance= 25 seconds

We know that velocity is, v= distance/ time

Therefore substituting our data into the expression for velocity we have

v= 1100/ 25= 44 m/s

Hence the velocity in m/s is 44

Describe an object’s motion when balanced forces act on it
Alinara [238K]

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal
