A ship sets sail from Rotterdam, The Netherlands, intending to head due north at 6.5 m/s relative to the water. However, the loc

al ocean current is 1.50 m/s in a direction 40.0º north of east and changes the ship's intended motion. What is the velocity of the ship relative to the Earth?

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of ship with respect to water = 6.5 m/s due north

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w}=6.5 \widehat{j}

velocity of water with respect to earth = 1.5 m/s at 40° north of east

\overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}=1.5\left ( Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}\right)

velocity of ship with respect to water = velocity of ship with respect to earth - velocity of water with respect to earth

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,w} = \overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} - \overrightarrow{v}_{w,e}

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = 6.5 \widehat{j}- 1.5\left (Cos40\widehat{i} +Sin40\widehat{j}  \right )

\overrightarrow{v}_{s,e} = - 1.15 \widehat{i}+5.54\widehat{j}

The magnitude of the velocity of ship relative to earth is \sqrt{1.15^{2}+5.54^{2}} = 5.66 m/s

Capacitor 2 has half the capacitance and twice the potential difference as capacitor 1. What is the ratio (U_{\rm C})_1/\,(U_{\r
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Calling C_1 the capacitance of capacitor 1 and V_1 its potential difference, the energy stored in capacitor 1 is

U=\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2

For capacitor 2, we have:

- The capacitance is half that of capacitor 1: C_2 = \frac{C_1}{2}

- The voltage is twice the voltage of capacitor 1: V_2 = 2 V_1

so the energy stored in capacitor 2 is

U_2 = \frac{1}{2}C_2 V_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{C_1}{2}(2V_1)^2 = C_1 V_1^2

So the ratio between the two energies is

\frac{U_1}{U_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2}{C_1 V_1^2}=\frac{1}{2}

A kayaker moves 26 meters southward, then 18 meters
Svetllana [295]

Total distance: 56 meters. Magnitude and direction of displacement: 20 meters South.

Explanation:

The term distance refers to space between one point and other, or the total space a body or object covered while moving. In the case presented, this can be calculated by adding the partial distances given. This means the total distance is  56 meters as 26 meters + 18 meters + 12 meters = 56 meters.

On the other hand, displacement considers the distance from the initial position to the final position, and the direction of movement. This means partial distances should not be added but each movement should be considered according to the direction. The process is shown below:

-The first movement was 26 meters southward; this means by the end of this movement the distance between the initial position was 26 meters south.

- The second movement was 18 northward; this means the kayaker moved 18 meters towards the position. This changes the displacement to 8 meters South as 26 meters south - 18 meters north = 8 meters to the South.

-The last movement was 12 meters sound; this means the kayaker increased the distance from the original position 8 meters to the South + 12 meters to the South = 20 meters South (total displacement.)
