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

Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having
maks197457 [2]

Answer: A) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

Explanation: conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles—the electrons. These free electrons also known as valence electrons are free to move, and as a result they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal. The presence of valence electrons determines a metal's conductivity. However, several other factors can affect the conductivity of a metal such as impurities, temperature, magnetic fields etc.

Find the voltage change when: a. An electric field does 12 J of work on a 0.0001-C charge. b. The same electric field does 24 J
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Work done by the electric field is 12 J on a 0.0001 C of charge. The electric potential is defined as the work done per unit charged particles. It is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{12}{0.0001}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

(b) Similarly, same electric field does 24 J of work on a 0.0002-C charge. The electric potential difference is given by :

V=\dfrac{W}{q}

V=\dfrac{24}{0.0002}

V=12\times 10^4\ Volt

Therefore, this is the required solution.

Find the current flowing out of the battery.​
klemol [59]

Answer:

0.36 A.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance between 35 Ω and 20 Ω resistor. This is illustrated below:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 35 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 20 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (Rₑq) =?

Since, the two resistors are in parallel connections, their equivalence can be obtained as follow:

Rₑq = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

Rₑq = (35 × 20) / (35 + 20)

Rₑq = 700 / 55

Rₑq = 12.73 Ω

Next, we shall determine the total resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Equivalent resistance between 35 Ω and 20 Ω (Rₑq) = 12.73 Ω

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 15 Ω

Total resistance (R) in the circuit =?

R = Rₑq + R₃ (they are in series connection)

R = 12.73 + 15

R = 27.73 Ω

Finally, we shall determine the current. This can be obtained as follow:

Total resistance (R) = 27.73 Ω

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 27.73

Divide both side by 27.73

I = 10 / 27.73

I = 0.36 A

Therefore, the current is 0.36 A.
