A river flows from south to north at 5.4 km/hr. on the west bank of this river, a boat launches and travels perpendicular to the

current with a velocity of 7.6 km/hr due east. if the river is 1.4 km wide at this point, how far downstream does the boat land on the east bank of the river relative to the point it started at on the west bank?

The motion of the boat is basically a uniform motion on both directions, north-south (NS) and east-west (EW), with two constant velocities: v_{SN}=5.4~km/h and v_{EW}=7.6~km/h. 
From the law of motion on the EW direction we can find the total time of the motion:
S_{EW}(t) = v_{EW} t
since we know S_{EW}=1.4~km, we find
t= \frac{S_{EW}}{v_{EW}} =0.18~h
and then, we can find how far the boat went on the NS direction during this time:
S_{NS}=v_{NS} t =5.4~km/h \cdot 0.18~h = 1~km

In lightning , light is seen first and sound is heard later it is due to
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

option 4

Explanation:

Light's velocity in air ( 3 × 10^8 m/s ) is much greater than sound's velocity in air ( 343 m/s )

Hence due to difference in velocities , during lightning light is seen first & sound is heard later

At one point in a pipeline, the water's speed is 3.57 m/s and the gauge pressure is 68.7 kPa. Find the gauge pressure at a secon
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The  pressure at point 2 is P_2  = 254.01 kPa

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at point 1  is  v_1  =  3.57 \ m/s

   The  gauge pressure at point 1  is  P_1  =  68.7kPa =  68.7*10^{3}\  Pa

    The density of water is  \rho  = 1000 \ kg/m^3

Let the  height at point 1 be  h_1 then the height at point two will be

      h_2  =  h_1  -  18.5

Let the  diameter at point 1 be  d_1 then the diameter at point two will be

      d_2  =  2 * d_1

Now the continuity equation is mathematically represented as  

         A_1 v_1  =  A_2 v_2

Here A_1 , A_2  are the area at point 1 and 2

    Now given that the are is directly proportional to the square of the diameter [i.e A=  \frac{\pi d^2}{4}]

   which can represent as

             A \ \  \alpha \ \  d^2

=>         A = c   d^2

where c is a constant

  so      \frac{A_1}{d_1^2}  =  \frac{A_2}{d_2^2}

=>          \frac{A_1}{d_1^2}  =  \frac{A_2}{4d_1^2}

=>        A_2  =  4 A_1

Now from the continuity equation

        A_1  v_1  =  4 A_1 v_2

=>     v_2  =  \frac{v_1}{4}

=>     v_2  =  \frac{3.57}{4}

       v_2  =  0.893 \  m/s

Generally the Bernoulli equation is mathematically represented as

       P_1 + \frac{1}{2}  \rho v_1^2 +  \rho *  g * h_1  =  P_2 + \frac{1}{2}  \rho v_2^2 +  \rho *  g * h_2

So  

         P_2  =  \rho  * g  (h_1 -h_2 )+P_1  +  \frac{1}{2}  *  \rho (v_1^2 -v_2 ^2 )  

=>    P_2  =  \rho  * g  (h_1 -(h_1 -18.3)  + P_1  +  \frac{1}{2}  *  \rho (v_1^2 -v_2 ^2 )

substituting values

        P_2  =  1000  * 9.8  (18.3) )+ 68.7*10^{3}  +  \frac{1}{2}  *  1000 ((3.57)^2 -0.893 ^2 )

       P_2  = 254.01 kPa
