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

A 60.0 kg soccer player kicks a 0.4000 kg stationary soccer ball with 6.25 N of force. How fast does the soccer ball accelerate,
frozen [14]
F = ma
6.25 N = 0.4 kg · a
a = (6.25/0.4) m/s²      since N=kg·m/s²
a = 15.625 m/s² 

The answer is c) 15.6 m/s²
(Note that the mass of the soccer player is irrelevant.)

A mass m at the end of a spring oscillates with a frequency of 0.89 hz. when an additional 603 g mass is added to m, the frequen
MrMuchimi

The solution for this problem:

Given:

f1 = 0.89 Hz

f2 = 0.63 Hz

Δm = m2 - m1 = 0.603 kg 


The frequency of mass-spring oscillation is: 
f = (1/2π)√(k/m) 
k = m(2πf)² 

Then we know that k is constant for both trials, we have: 
k = k 


m1(2πf1)² = m2(2πf2)² 

m1 = m2(f2/f1)² 


m1 = (m1+Δm)(f2/f1)² 


m1 = Δm/((f1/f2)²-1)

 m 1 = 0.603/ (0.89/0.63)^2 – 1

= 0.609 kg or 0.61kg or 610 g

The propeller of an airplane is at rest when the pilot starts the engine; and its angular acceleration is a constant value. Two
Maurinko [17]

Answer:0.318 revolutions

Explanation:

Given

Initially Propeller is at rest i.e. \omega _0=0 rad/s

after t=10 s

\omega =10 rad/s

using \omega =\omega _0+\alpha t

10=0+\alpha \cdot 10

\alpha =1 rad/s^2

Revolutions turned in 2 s

\theta =\omega _0t+\frac{\alpha t^2}{2}

\theta =0+\frac{1\times 2^2}{2}

\theta =2 rad

To get revolution \frac{\theta }{2\pi }

=\frac{2}{2\pi}=0.318\ revolutions
