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

You throw a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 12.0 m/s. Air resistance can be neglected.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of baseball, m = 0.145 kg

initial velocity, u = 12 m/s upward

(a) final velocity, v = u / 2 = 6 m/s

Let the height is h.

Use third equation of motion

v² = u² - 2gh

6 x 6 = 12 x 12 - 2 x 9.8 x h

36 - 144 = - 19.6 x h

h = 5.51 m

(b) initial kinetic energy, K = 0.5 x m x u² = 0.5 x 0.145 x 12 x 12 = 10.44 J

Final kinetic energy, K' = K/2

0.5 x m x v² = 10.44 /2

0.5 x 0.145 x v² = 5.22

v = 8.5 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

8.5 x 8.5 = 12 x 12 - 2 x 9.8 x h

72.25 - 144 = - 19.6 x h

h = 3.66 m

What is the ball's acceleration?
muminat

Answer:

g, downward

Explanation:

It is given that, a baseball is thrown straight upward. The force acting on the stone is force of gravity. It is moving under the action of gravity. We know that the force of gravity always acts in a downward direction.

At the highest point, the velocity of the stone will be equal to 0. It will move will constant acceleration equal to g and it always acts in downward direction.

Hence, the correct option is (e) "downward direction".

Chintu and raven build a roccket, which moved from the earth to about 86m into the shy. It tales 3.7 seconds to reach the rocket
vaieri [72.5K]

   Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)..

From the ground to the highest point,
the rocket's AVERAGE speed is

                     (86 m) / (3.7 sec)  =  23.2 m/s  (rounded) .
