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.

An electrician is creating a wiring plan for a small house. He needs to create a plan that will allow the homeowners to turn off
Naily [24]
So the answer is B) he should wire each room in parallel. This is because when the bulbs are in parallel if one part of the parallel circuit is broken (eg when you switch a light off) then the current can still flow to all the other bulbs, meaning they stay turned on. Hope this helps :)

A 2.0-kg ball has a momentum of 25kg.m/s what is the ball's speed?
Reil [10]

We know, momentum = mass * speed

25kgm/s = 2 kg * s

s = 25/2 = 12.5 m/s
