Vt = Vboat - Vriver 
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s 

If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .

Answer:Velocity of boat is 15.5 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:Using equation of relative motion

V_{boat,water}=V_{boat}-V{water}

=>V_{boat}=V_{boat,water}+V_{water}

where velocity of boat relative to water , V_{boat,water}=18 m/s

velocity of water, V_{water}=-2.5\frac{m}{s}

and velocity of boat , V_{boat}=? \frac{m}{s} to be calculated.

Putting the known values in the above equation , we get

V_{boat}= (18-2.5)\frac{m}{s}=15.5\frac{m}{s}

Work done(as a measure of energy)=force x distance. Use this equation to show that the SI base units of energy are kg m^2 s^-2
Arturiano [62]
Force [kgms^-2] = mass [kg] x acceleration [ms^-2]
Work = force x distance
Work = [kgms^-2] x [m]
Work = [kgm^2s^-2]

Which object has more momentum?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

3. Large butterfly in flight, flying through the air?

Explanation:

Momentum is simply defined as the quantity of motion a body possess. It is mathematically given as;

 Momentum  = mass x velocity

The larger the mass, the larger the momentum and also the velocity

Since the large butterfly is in flight, it has the largest velocity.

A sleeping bear and resting caterpillar have no momentum because their velocity is 0

The robot HooRU is lost in space, floating around aimlessly, and radiates heat into the depths of the cosmos at the rate of 13.1
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The temperature is  T  = 168.44 \ K

Explanation:

From the question ewe are told that

   The rate of heat transferred is    P  = 13.1 \ W

     The surface area is  A = 1.55 \ m^2

      The emissivity of its surface is  e = 0.287

Generally, the rate of heat transfer is mathematically represented as

           H  =  A e \sigma  T^{4}

=>         T  =  \sqrt[4]{\frac{P}{e* \sigma } }

where  \sigma is the Boltzmann constant with value  \sigma  = 5.67*10^{-8} \ W\cdot  m^{-2} \cdot  K^{-4}.

substituting value  

             T  =  \sqrt[4]{\frac{13.1}{ 0.287* 5.67 *10^{-8} } }

            T  = 168.44 \ K
