A motorboat heads due east at 16 m/s across a river that flows due south at 9.0 m/s. a.) What is the resultant velocity of the b

oat? b.) If the river is 136 m wide, how long does it take the motorboat to reach the other side? c.) How far downstream is the boat when it reached the other side of the river?

Answer:

a)V=18.35 m/s (South -East)

b) t =7.41 m/s

c)D= 66.70 m

Explanation:

Given that

Velocity of boat in east direction = 16 m/s

Velocity of river = 9 m/s

a)The resultant velocity V

V=\sqrt{16^2+9^2}\ m/s

V=18.35 m/s (South -East)

b)

We know that

Distance = Velocity x time

Lets t time takes to cross the river

136 = 18.35 x t

t =7.41 m/s

c)

   The distance covered downstream  

We know that

Distance = Velocity x time

t= 7.41 s

D= 7.41 x 9 m

D= 66.70 m

What force acts on all objects, all the time on Earth?
TiliK225 [7]

The force that acts on all objects, all the time on Earth is gravitational force.

The force that surface exert on an object perpendicularly is normal reaction.

<h3>What force acts on all objects, all the time on Earth?</h3>
  • Force due to gravity is gravitational pull on objects due to its position on earth's surface.

The force due to gravity on object's is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

F = mg

where;

  • m is the mass of the object
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

The force that surface exert on an object perpendicularly is normal reaction.

Thus, the force that acts on all objects, all the time on Earth is gravitational force.

A particle (m = 4.3 × 10^-28 kg) starting from rest, experiences an acceleration of 2.4 × 10^7 m/s^2 for 5.0 s. What is its de B
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Wavelength, \lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the particle, m=4.3\times 10^{-28}\ kg

Acceleration of the particle, a=2.4\times 10^7\ m/s^2

Time, t = 5 s

It starts from rest, u = 0

The De Broglie wavelength is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mv}

v = a × t

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{mat}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}}{4.3\times 10^{-28}\times 2.4\times 10^7\times 5}

\lambda=1.28\times 10^{-14}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

a 10.0 kg sphere is released from rest in an ocean. as it falls, the water applies a resistive force r
dimaraw [331]

The calculated coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.33125.'

The rate of kinetic friction the friction force to normal force ratio experienced by a body moving on a dry, uneven surface is known as k. The friction coefficient is the ratio of the normal force pressing two surfaces together to the frictional force preventing motion between them. Typically, it is represented by the Greek letter mu (). In terms of math, is equal to F/N, where F stands for frictional force and N for normal force.

given mass of the block=10 kg

spring constant k= 2250 Nm

now according to principal of conservation of energy we observe,

the energy possessed by the block initially is reduced by the friction between the points B and C and rest is used up in work done by the spring.

mgh= μ (mgl) +1/2 kx²

10 x 10 x 3= μ(600) +(1125) (0.09)

μ(600) =300 - 101.25

μ = 198.75÷600

μ =0.33125

The complete question is- A 10.0−kg block is released from rest at point A in Fig The track is frictionless except for the portion between point B and C, which has a length of 6.00m the block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 2250N/m, and compresses the spring 0.300m form its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily. Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the rough surface between point Band (C)

Explain why the atomic mass of an element is weighted average mass
madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The mass written on the periodic table is an average atomic mass taken from all known isotopes of an element. This average is a weighted average, meaning the isotope's relative abundance changes its impact on the final average. The reason this is done is because there is no set mass for an element.
