physics A river flows at a speed vr = 5.37 km/hr with respect to the shoreline. A boat needs to go perpendicular to the shorelin

e to reach a pier on the river’s other side. To do so, the boat heads upstream at an angle θ = 32◦ from the direction to the boat’s pier. Find the ratio of vb to vr, where vr is defined above and vb is the boat’s speed with respect to the water

Answer: Vb is the vector  (-5.37m/s,  8.59 m/s), with a module 10.13m/s

then the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9

Explanation:

We can use the notation (x, y) where the river flows in the x-axis and the pier is on the y-axis.

We have Vr = (5.37m/s, 0m/s)

Now, if the boat wants to move only along the y-axis (perpendicularly to the shore).

The velocity of the boat Vb will be:

Vb = (-c*sin(32). c*cos(32))

Then we should have that:

5.37 m/s - c*sin(32) = 0

c = (5.37/sin(32))m/s = 10.13 m/s

the velocity in the y-axis is:

10.13m/s*cos(32) = 8.59 m/s

So Vb = (-5.37m/s,  8.59 m/s)

the ratio Vb/Vr = 10.13m/s/5.37m/s = 1.9 where i used Vb as the module of the boat's velocity.

klasskru [66]
So momentum is just velocity times mass, this means Momentum = Velocity x Mass.
We can rearrange this to be Velocity = Momentum/Mass.

Since we know momentum and mass we can now solve.

Velocity = 264/(45+2.5)
              = 5.56 m/s

Consider the position vs. time graph below for a woman's movement in a hallway. What is the woman's velocity from 4 to 5 s?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The answer is "6\  \frac{m}{s}"

Explanation:

The formula for velocity:

\to \overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}

      =\frac{6}{1}\\\\=6\  \frac{m}{s}

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 60 m building and lands 100 m from the base of the building. How long is the bal
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds

The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s

The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward

The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal

Explanation:

A ball is thrown horizontally

That means the vertical component of the initial velocity u_{y}=0

The initial velocity is the horizontal component u_{x}

The ball is thrown from the top of a 60 m

That means the vertical displacement component y = 60 m

→ y = u_{y} t + \frac{1}{2} gt²

where g is the acceleration of gravity and t is the time

y = -60 m , g = -9.8 m/s² , u_{y}=0

Substitute these values in the rule

→ -60 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (-9.8)t²

→ -60 = -4.9t²

Divide both sides by -4.9

→ 12.2449 = t²

Take √ for both sides

∴ t = 3.5 seconds

* <em>The ball is in the air for 3.5 seconds </em>

The initial velocity is the horizontal component u_{x}

The ball lands 100 meter from the base of the building

That means the horizontal displacement x = 100 m

→ x = u_{x} t

→ t = 3.5 s , x = 100 m

Substitute these values in the rule

→ 100 = u_{x} (3.5)

Divide both sides by 3.5

→ u_{x} = 28.57 m/s

<em>The initial horizontal component of velocity is 28.6 m/s</em>

The vertical component of the final velocity is v_{y}

→ v_{y} = u_{y} + gt

→ u_{y} = 0 , g = -9.8 m/s² , t = 3.5 s

Substitute these values in the rule

→ v_{y} = 0 + (-9.8)(3.5)

→ v_{y} = -34.3 m/s

<em>The vertical component of the final velocity is 34.3 m/s downward</em>

The final velocity v is the resultant vector of  v_{x} and v_{y}

→ Its magnetude is v=\sqrt{(v_{x})^{2}+(v_{y})^{2}}

→ Its direction tan^{-1}\frac{v_{y}}{v_{x}}

→ v_{y} = 28.6 , v_{y} = -34.3

Substitute this values in the rules above

→ v=\sqrt{(28.6)^{2}+(-34.3)^{2}}=44.66

→ Its direction tan^{-1}\frac{-34.3}{28.6}=-50.18

The negative sign means the direction is below the horizontal

<em>The final velocity is 44.7 m/s in the direction 50.2° below the horizontal</em>

Given a die, would it be more likely to get a single 6 in six rolls, at least two 6s in twelve rolls, or at least one-hundred 6s
vichka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In first case we are interested in one time 6 in six rolls

Thus probability = number of chances required/Total chances

= 1/6

Similarly in the second case probability = 2/12 = 1/6

In the same way in last case probability = 100/600 = 1/6

The probability is the same . Thus all the cases has equal chances
