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

Answer:

<u>Resolving</u><u> </u><u>horizontally</u><u>.</u> :

\sum d_{x} =  - (17.0 \cos 20.0) - (11.0 \cos 35.0) + (30.0 \cos 50.0) + 0 \\  { \underline{d _{x} =  -  5.702 \: m}} \\  \\  \sum d _{y} = (17.0 \sin 20.0) + 12.0 - (11.0  \sin 35.0) - (30.0 \sin 50.0) \\ { \underline{d _{y}  =  - 11.476 \: m}}

therefore, for resultant:

d =  \sqrt{ {d _{y} }^{2} + d _{x}  {}^{2}  }

substitute:

d =  \sqrt{ {( - 5.702)}^{2} +  {( - 11.476)}^{2}  }  \\  \\ d =  \sqrt{164.211}  \\  \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{d = 12.8 \: m}}}}

An oven uses 4500 watts of power in 2 minutes, how much work was done?
jolli1 [7]
First of all we state the formula
Power=work done/time
we can rearrange this formula as well
work done=power x time

Since the SI unit of time is in seconds we change the minutes to seconds
2mins= 60x2 = 120 seconds

Using our formula (work done=power x time) we simply put in the values
work done = 4500 x 120
work done = 540,000J

Explain how you find the density of a liquid subtance example corn syrup
STatiana [176]
Use the density formula:

Mass of the substance
————————————
Volume of the substance

This gives you the density.


Corn syrup has a density of about 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter, and has the highest density of all liquids!

Hope this helps!
