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

Which part of an atom makes up most of its volume ?
alexandr1967 [171]
Remember that like charges repel each other. That is, positive repels positive and negative repels negative. Similar to how the north poles of magnets repel each other and south poles repel. However, at the atomic scale, protons, which have positive charge, are more influenced by the "Strong Force," which binds them close together. If they were to be separated ever so slightly, then the electromagnetic force would take over and they would repel each other like you'd expect. 

Neutrons are also held together via the Strong Force, but don't have a charge so when separated, don't have an electromagnetic force pushing them away from each other.

However, electrons act differently. There is no "Strong Force" just the electromagnetic force. So, they keep a great distance from each other. 

So in an atom, protons and neutrons stay close to each other, taking up little volume, while electrons take up a lot of volume.

BTW, the reason why electrons and protons act differently when they are close together is because protons are made up of smaller particles the carry this Strong Force. For electrons, there is no smaller constituent. And therefore, all you have is the electromagnetic force to influence it. That's it.

Hope that helps.

The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas c
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A diver works in the sea on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas cylinder. The compressed air quickly cools to its original temperature. Calculate the pressure of the air in the cylinder.

Solution:

Boyles law states that the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas, provided that the temperature is constant.

That is:

P ∝ 1/V;   PV = constant

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Given that P₁ = initial pressure = 101 kPa, V₁ = initial volume = 1700 L, P₂ = cylinder pressure, V₂ = cylinder volume = 12 L. Hence:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

100 kPa * 1700 L = P₂ * 12 L

P₂ = (100 kPa * 1700 L) / 12 L

P₂ = 14308 kPa

A tiger runs one kilometer. The tiger does 15,000 J of work and has a total power output of 500 W. How many minutes does it take
defon
Power is the amount of energy consumed per unit time. Having no direction, it is a scalar quantity. <span>As is implied by the equation for </span>power<span>, a unit of </span>power <span>is equivalent to a unit of work divided by a unit of time. The formula would be as follows:

P = W/t 

We calculate as follows:

500 W = 15000 J / t
t = 30 s</span>

A motorcycle has a mass of 350kg. A force of 1295N is applied to the cycle what is the motorcycles acceleration
Maru [420]

Answer: 3.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of the motorcycle is given by Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}

where

F = 1295 N is the force applied to the motorcycle

m = 350 kg is the mass of the motorbike

a is the acceleration

By substituting the numbers into the formula, we find

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{1295 N}{350 kg}=3.7 m/s^2
