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:

1. 3 m

2. 27 s

Explanation:

1. "A car traveling at +33 m/s sees a red light and has to stop.  If the driver can accelerate at -5.5 m/s², how far does it travel?"

Given:

v₀ = 33 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -5.5 m/s²

Unknown: Δx

To determine the equation you need, look for which variable you don't have and aren't solving for.  In this case, we aren't given time and aren't solving for time.  So look for an equation that doesn't have t in it.

Equation: v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Substitute and solve:

(0 m/s)² = (33 m/s)² + 2(-5.5 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 3 m

2. "A plane starting from rest at one end of a runway accelerates at 4.8 m/s² for 1800 m.  How long did it take to accelerate?"

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 4.8 m/s²

Δx = 1800 m

Unknown: t

Equation: Δx = v₀ t + ½ a t²

Substitute and solve:

1800 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (4.8 m/s²) t²

t ≈ 27 s

You use 8x binoculars were used on a warbler (14cm long) in a tree 18cm away. What angle (in degrees) does the image of the warb
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The angle it subtend on the retina is  \theta_z = 0.44586^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The length of the warbler is  L = 14cm = \frac{14}{100} = 0.14m

      The distance from the binoculars is    d = 18cm = \frac{18}{100} = 0.18m

        The magnification of the binoculars is  M =8

Without the 8 X binoculars the  angle made with the angular size of the object  is mathematically represented as

          \theta = \frac{L}{d}

        \theta  = \frac{0.14}{0.18}

           = 0.007778 rad

Now magnification can be represented mathematically as

         M = \frac{\theta _z}{\theta}

Where \theta_z is the angle the image of the warbler subtend on your retina when the   binoculars i.e the  binoculars zoom.

So

      \theta_z = M * \theta

=>    \theta_z =8 * 0.007778

            = 0.0622222224

Generally the conversion to degrees can be mathematically evaluated as

             \theta_z = 0.062222224 * (\frac{360 }{2 \pi rad} )

              \theta_z = 0.44586^o

4. As Juan is going to take a shower, the soap falls out of the soap dish on to the
LiRa [457]

The coefficient of friction between the soap and the floor is 0.081

If Juan steps on the soap with a force of 493 N, this is her weight, W. This weight also equals the normal reaction on the floor, N.

We know that frictional force F = μN where μ = coefficient of friction between soap and floor.

So, μ = F/N

Since F = 40 N and N = W = 493 N,

μ = F/N

μ = 40 N/493 N

μ = 0.081

So, the coefficient of friction between the soap and the floor is 0.081
