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

components of the speed of the coin is given as

v_x = v cos60

v_x = 6.4 cos60 = 3.2 m/s

v_y = vsin60

v_y = 6.4 sin60 = 5.54 m/s

now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by

t = \frac{\delta x}{v_x}

t = \frac{2.1}{3.2}

t = 0.656 s

now in order to find the height

h = vy * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = 5.54 * 0.656 - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(0.656)^2

h = 1.52 m

so it is placed at 1.52 m height

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Two projectile is fired vertically upward

One has 4 times the mass of other

When Projectile is fired their trajectory is independent of mass of object. Also if they launched with same speed then both achieved same maximum height in same time and will hit the ground at the same moment.

A 5.67-kg block of wood is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 150 N/m. The block is free to slide on a horizontal fr
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

v=0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5.67 kg

k= 150 N/m

m=1 kg

μ = 0.45

The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.

 a= μ g                          ( g = 10 m/s²)

The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.

ω = natural frequency

X=maximum displacement

For top stop slipping

μ g  =ω²X

We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M+m}}

By putting the values

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{5.67+1}}

ω = 4.47 rad/s

μ g  =ω²X

By putting the values

0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X

X = 0.2 m

From energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}kX^2=\dfrac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2

kX^2=(m+M)v^2

150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²

v=0.94 m/s

This is the maximum speed of system.
