Principle: Pythagorean theorem

Given:
Let a = boat velocity = 25 miles per hour
      b = river velocity = 10 miles per hour

Required: c = actual velocity

Solution:
     
     c^2 = a^2 + b^2
     c^2 = (25)^2 + (10)^2
     c^2 = 725
     (c^2)^0.5 = (725)^0.5
      c = 26.93 miles per hour

<em>ANSWER: Actual boat velocity is 26.93 miles per hour</em>

4. What is the magnitude and direction of the gravitational force that acts on a man
Cloud [144]

The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre

Explanation:

The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{R^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the object

R is the radius of the Earth

And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.

Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:

g=\frac{GM}{R^2}

therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as

F=mg

And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.

Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.

An electric toy with a resistance of 2.50 Ω is operated by a 3.00-V battery. (a) What current does the toy draw? (b) Assuming th
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

a) The current is i = 1.2 A

b) The charge is Q = 17280 C

c) The energy is E = 43200 J

Explanation:

a) The current is given by the ohm's law wich is:

i = V/R = 3/2.5 = 1.2 A

b) Since the charge is steady we can use the following equation to find the charge amount in that time:

i = Q/t

Q = t*i

Where t is in seconds, so we have 4h * 3600 = 14400 s

Q = 1.2*14400 = 17280 C

c)  The energy is the power delivered to the toy multiplied by the time:

P = 1.2*2.5 = 3 W

E = P*t = 3*14400 = 43200 J
