<span>Let us refer to boat speed as X and water speed as Y On the way down the stream, the water speed is added to the speed of the boat: speed of the boat (X) + water speed (Y) is 9km/h When the boat is moving upstream, water speed is taken away from the speed of the boat: Speed of the boat (X) - water speed (Y) is 7.2 km/h Therefore: X + Y = 9 : X - Y = 7.2 2X = 16.2 X = 8.1 X + Y = 9 8.1 + Y = 9 Y = 0.9 The river is flowing at 0.9 km/h</span>

A train starts at rest in a station and accelerates at a constant 0.987 m/s2 for 182 seconds. Then the train decelerates at a co
algol [13]

Answer:

\displaystyle X_T=66.6\ km

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

\displaystyle V_f=V_o+a\ t

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .

The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of 0.987 m/s^2 for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of -0.321 m/s^2 until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.

The equation for the distance is

\displaystyle X=V_o\ t+\frac{a\ t^2}{2}

Our data is

\displaystyle V_o=0,a=0.987m/s^2,\ t=182\ sec

Let's compute the first distance X1

\displaystyle X_1=0+\frac{0.987\times 182^2}{2}

\displaystyle X_1=16,346.7\ m

Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time

\displaystyle V_{f1}=0+0.987\times 182

\displaystyle V_{f1}=179.6\ m/s

That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0

\displaystyle V_o=179.6,a=-0.321\ m/s^2\ ,V_f=0

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}=\frac{0-179.6}{-0.321}

\displaystyle t=559.5\ sec

Computing the second distance

\displaystyle X_2=179.6\times559.5\ \frac{-0.321\times 559.5^2}{2}

\displaystyle X_2=50,243.2\ m

The total distance is

\displaystyle X_t=x_1+x_2=16,346.7+50,243.2

\displaystyle X_t=66,589.9\ m

\displaystyle \boxed{X_T=66.6\ km}

A shot-putter released the shot at an angle of 41.5 degrees and a height of 1.9 m with an initial velocity of 13.3 m/s. How far
liq [111]

Answer:

x = 17.88[m]

Explanation:

We can find the components of the initial velocity:

(v_{x})_{o}  = 13.3*cos(41.5)=9.96[m/s]\\(v_{y})_{o}  = 13.3*sin(41.5)=8.81[m/s]

We have to remember that the acceleration of gravity will be worked with negative sign, since it acts in the opposite direction to the movement in direction and the projectile upwards.

g = - 9.81[m/s^2]

Now we must find the time it takes for the projectile to hit the ground, as the problem mentions that it does not impact on the board.

y=y_{o} +(v_{y} )_{o} *t-0.5*g*(t)^{2} \\0=1.9+(8.81*t)-(4.905*t^{2})\\-1.9=8.81*t*(1-0.5567*t)\\t=0\\t=1.796[s]

With this time we can calculate the horizontal distance:

x=(v_{x})_{o} *t\\x=9.96*1.796\\x=17.88[m]
