The velocity of a boat with respect to the shore is 2 meters/second. The velocity of the water with respect to the shore is 1 me

ter/second. What is the distance traveled by boat after 3 minutes if the boat is traveling in the opposite direction of the water? (Hint: Find the velocity of the boat relative to the water and then use the equation distance = speed × time)

180, since the water counteracts 1/2 of the movement of the boat. 3 minutes is 180 seconds, so, you get 180.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

540 meters

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The velocity of the boat relative to the water;

<em> 2 m/s + 1 m/s = 3m/s  </em>

<em>Time is 3 minutes; </em>

<em>but </em><em>1 minute =60 seconds </em>

<em>Therefore</em><em>; time is = 3 ×60 = 180 seconds</em>

<em>Distance = velocity × time </em>

<em>                  = 3 × 180 = 540 m </em>

<em>           = 540 meters</em>

A 100 N force is applied to a 50 kg crate resting on a level floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15. What is the acc
Nookie1986 [14]

The acceleration of the crate after it begins to move is 0.5 m/s²

We'll begin by calculating the the frictional force

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.15

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Normal reaction (N) = mg = 50 × 10 = 500 N

<h3>Frictional force (Fբ) =?</h3>

Fբ = μN

Fբ = 0.15 × 500

<h3>Fբ = 75 N</h3>

  • Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the crate

Frictional force (Fբ) = 75 N

Force (F) = 100 N

<h3>Net force (Fₙ) =?</h3>

Fₙ = F – Fբ

Fₙ = 100 – 75

<h3>Fₙ = 25 N</h3>

  • Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the crate

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 25 N

<h3>Acceleration (a) =?</h3>

a = Fₙ / m

a = 25 / 50

<h3>a = 0.5 m/s²</h3>

Therefore, the acceleration of the crate is 0.5 m/s²

A particle moves on a line away from its initial position so that after t hours it is s = 6t2 + 2t miles from its initial positi
docker41 [41]
<span>32 mph
   First, let's calculate the location of the particle at t=1, and t=4
 t=1
 s = 6*t^2 + 2*t
 s = 6*1^2 + 2*1
 s = 6 + 2
 s = 8 t = 4
 s = 6*t^2 + 2*t s = 6*4^2 + 2*4
 s = 6*16 + 8
 s = 96 + 8
 s = 104
   So the particle moved from 8 to 104 over the time period of 1 to 4 hours. And the average velocity is simply the distance moved over the time spent. So:
 avg_vel = (104-8)/(4-1) = 96/3 = 32
   And since the units were miles and hours, that means that the average speed of the particle over the interval [1,4] was 32 miles/hour, or 32 mph.</span>
