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

The car is accelerating at 3 m/s² in the positive direction (to the right). By Newton's second law, the net force on the car in this direction is

∑ F = F[a] - F[f] - F[air] = ma

3100 N - 200 N - F[air] = (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

Solve for F[air] :

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - 1950 N

F[air] = 950 N

Suppose that you have a 680 Ω, a 720 Ω and a 1.20 kΩ resistor. (a) What is the maximum resistance you can obtain by combining th
Delvig [45]

Explanation:

As the given data is as follows.

    R_{1} = 680 \ohm ohm\ohm,    R_{2} = 720 \ohm ohm,

   R_{3} = 1.2 k\ohm = 1200 \ohm   (as 1 k ohm = 1000 m)

(a)   We will calculate the maximum resistance by combining the given resistances as follows.

      Max. Resistance = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}

                                  = (680 + 720 + 1200) \ohm ohm

                                  = 2600 ohm

or,                               = 2.6 k\ohm ohm

Therefore, the maximum resistance you can obtain by combining these is 2.6 k\ohm ohm.

(b)   Now, the minimum resistance is calculated as follows.

      Min. Resistance = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}} + \frac{1}{R_{3}}

                                 = \frac{1}{680} + \frac{1}{720} + \frac{1}{1200}

                                 = 3.683 \times 10^{-3} ohm

Hence, we can conclude that minimum resistance you can obtain by combining these is 3.683 \times 10^{-3} ohm.

Two particles collide, one of which was initially moving and the other initially at rest. Is it possible for both particles to b
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Not possible

Explanation:

Unless there's some extra external force to keep both particles at rest after the collision, the momentum must be conserved before and after the collision.

So before the collision, 1 particle is at rest, 1 not ->  total momentum is non-zero

After the collision, both particles are at rest -> total momentum is zero which is different from before.

Therefore this is not possible.

Compute the size of the charge necessary for two spheres separated by 1m to be attached with the force of 1N. How many electrons
yarga [219]

Answer:

q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law</u>

The force between two charged particles of charges q1 and q2 separated by a distance d is given by the Coulomb's Law formula:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We know both charges are identical, i.e. q1=q2=q. This reduces the formula to:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q^2}{d^2}

Since we know the force F=1 N and the distance d=1 m, let's find the common charge of the spheres solving for q:

\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{F}{k}}\cdot d

Substituting values:

\displaystyle q=\sqrt{\frac{1}{9\cdot 10^9}}\cdot 1

q = 1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c

This charge corresponds to a number of electrons given by the elementary charge of the electron:

q_e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c

Thus, the charge of any of the spheres is:

\displaystyle q = \frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-5}~c}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}~c}

\mathbf{q\approx 6.6\cdot 10^{13}~electrons}
