A man paddles a canoe at 6 km per hour. If he paddles on a river with a current of 6 km per hour, what is the speed of the canoe

if it heads: Upstream? Directly across the river?

Answer:

If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is  8.48 [km/h] towards southeast

Explanation:

When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:

Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}

Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]

We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.

Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]

For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.

So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).

Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:

Vt = \sqrt{(6)^{2} +(-6)^{2} } \\Vt=8.48[km/h]

The answer is 0.981 J

E = m · g · h<span>
E - energy
m - mass
g - gravitational acceleration
h - height

We know:
E = ?
m = 0.10 kg
g = 9.81 m/s</span>²
h = 1 m

E = 0.10 kg * 9.81 m/s² * 1 m = 0.981 J

A sprinter starts from rest and reaches a speed of 15 m/s in 4.25 s. Find his acceleration
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a=3.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)

V1=15 m/s

t= 4.25 s

a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright frin
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

y = 0.0233 m

Explanation:

In a Young's Double Slit Experiment the distance between two consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx = λL/d

where,

Δx = distance between fringes

λ = wavelength of light

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = Slit Separation

Now, for initial case:

λ = 425 nm = 4.25  x 10⁻⁷ m

y = 2Δx = 0.0177 m => Δx = 8.85 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

8.85 x 10⁻³ m = (4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)L/d

L/d = (8.85 x 10⁻³ m)/(4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m)

L/d = 2.08 x 10⁴

using this for λ = 560 nm = 5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m:

Δx = (5.6 x 10⁻⁷ m)(2.08 x 10⁴)

Δx = 0.0116 m

and,

y = 2Δx

y = (2)(0.0116 m)

<u>y = 0.0233 m</u>
