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>

Answer:

At a deceleration of 60g, or 60 times the acceleration due to gravity a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

Explanation:

The maximum acceleration of the airbag = 60 g, and the duration of the acceleration = 36 ms or 36/1000 s or 0.036 s

To find out how far (in meters) does a person travel in coming to a complete stop in 36 ms at a constant acceleration of 60g

we write out the equation of motion thus.

S = ut + 0.5at²

wgere

S = distance to come to complete stop

u = final velocoty = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = 60g = 60 × 9.81

t = time = 36 ms

as can be seen, the above equation calls up the given variable as a function of the required variable thus

S = 0×0.036 + 0.5×60×9.81×0.036² = 0.38 m

At 60g, a person will travel a distance of 0.38 m before coing to a complete stop

Julli [10]

Answer:  Temperature in Fahrenheit is 577.4

Explanation:

The conversion factor for converting celcius to Fahrenheit is:

F=\frac{9}{5}\times C+32

where F = temperature in Fahrenheit

C = Temperature in Celcius

Given : Temperature difference in Celcius = 303^0C

Putting in the values we get:

F=\frac{9}{5}\times 303+32

F=577.4

Thus the answer in Fahrenheit is 577.4
