Answer:

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The river flowing south at the rate, v = 3 m/s

To reach the other side directly across the river, he aims the raft, Ф = 30°

The speed of his raft across the river is given by the formula,

                                          V = v / Sin Ф

                                             = 3 / Sin 30°

                                              = 6 m/s

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2).  Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature.  This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775° 

 

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N 

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>

Answer: V_{\epsilon}\propto \frac{d\phi_{B}}{dt}

Explanation:

A direct proportionality means a linear relationship between two variables and rate of change means an application of derivatives. Hence, the mathematical model is:
