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

ira [324]

Answer:

4.08 s

Explanation:

Let the passenger took "t" time to catch the train

so in this case the total distance moved by the train + 5 m = total distance moved by the passenger

so we will have

distance moved by train is given as

d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(0.6) t^2

also the distance moved by passenger

d_2 = \frac{1}{2}(1.2) t^2

so we will have

d_1 + 5 = d_2

0.3 t^2 + 5 = 0.6 t^2

0.3 t^2 = 5

t = 4.08 s

How many protons are in Calcium? (* Hint: The Atomic number of Calcium is 20).
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 20

Explanation:

Atomic number is the number of proton and atom has. Each element has a specific number of protons, if the number of protons change, then this is a new element.

Mass number is the number of protons and neutrons and atom has.

                       Mass number = protons + neutrons

Data

Number of protons = ?

Atomic number = 20

Then,

           atomic number = number of protons = 20

An organ pipe of length 3.0 m has one end closed. The longest and next-longest possible wavelengths for standing waves inside th
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The longest wavelength for closed at one end and open at the other is

y / 4      where y is the wavelength - that is node - antinode

The next possible wavelength is 3 y / 4 -    node - antinode - node -antinode

y / 4 = 3 m     y = 12 meters    the longest wavelength

3 y / 4 = 3 m      y = 4 meters   1 / 3 times as long
