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>

Submarine a travels horizontally at 11.0 m/s through ocean water. it emits a sonar signal of frequency f 5 5.27 3 103 hz in the
xeze [42]
Velocity of submarine A is vs = 11.0m/s
frequency emitted by submarine A. F = 55.273 × 10∧3HZ
Velocity of submarine B = vO = 3.00m/s
The given equation is
f' = ((V + vO) ((v - vS)) × f
The observer on submarine detects the frequency f'.
The sign of vO should be positive as the observer of submarine B is moving away from the source of submarine A.
The speed of the sound used in seawater is 1533m/s
The frequency which is detected by submarine B is 
fo = fs (V -vO/ v +vs)
= 53.273 × 10∧3hz) ((1533 m/s - 4.5 m/s)/ (1533 m/s +11 m/s)
fo = 5408 HZ

Which equation is most likely used to determine the acceleration from a velocity vs:time graph?
tresset_1 [31]
Acceleration, a =  (v - u)/t

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time.

This formula on a velocity time graph represents the slope of the graph.
