A river flows due south with a speed of 2.0 m/s. You steer a motorboat across the river; your velocity relative to the water is

4.2 m/s due east. The river is 500 m wide. (a) What is your velocity (magnitude and direction) relative to the earth? (b) How much time is required to cross the river? (c) How far south of your starting point will you reach the opposite bank?

Answer:

a) 25.5°(south of east)

b) 119 s

c) 238 m

Explanation:

solution:

we have river speed v_{r}=2 m/s

velocity of motorboat relative to water is v_{m/r}=4.2 m/s

so speed will be:

a) v_{m}=v_{r}+v_{m/r}

solving graphically

v_{m}=\sqrt{v^2_{r}+v^2_{m/r}}

     =4.7 m/s

Ф=tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{r}}{v_{m/r}} )

  =25.5°(south of east)

b) time to cross the river: t=\frac{w}{v_{m/r}}=\frac{500}{4.2}=119 s

c) d=v_{r}t=(2)(119)=238 m

Your mom is making lunch which forces are acting on your mom
N76 [4]

The forces acting on your mom while cooking is Air resistance and the force of friction

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>1. Air resistance:</u>

  • In simple words, Air resistance can be stated as the type of friction  between the air and the other materials.
  • In this scenario, there will be an air resistance and the air hits the mom while cooking via the doors or windows

<u>2. The force of friction:</u>

  • In simple words, friction can be stated as, the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
  • While cooking the food mom would experience the friction since friction is the transfer of heat, and cooking is the process of receiving that heat.

A force of 55N accelerates a 7.5kg wagon at 5.3 m/s^2 along a road. How large is the frictional force?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

<h2>15.25 N</h2>

Explanation:

       A force of 55\text{ }N is acting on a wagon along the road. The wagon weights 7.5\text{ }kg. Acceleration of the wagon is given as 5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

       Consider the block as the system, the forces acting are Frictional force, Gravitational force, Normal reaction and External force applied by us.

       Gravitational Force and Normal Reaction cancel out each other.

       Net External Force = Mass of system/wagon \times Acceleration of wagon

       F_{ext}-F_{friction}=(7.5\text{ }kg)\times(5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}})=39.75\text{ }N\\55\text{ }N-F_{friction}=39.75\text{ }N\\F_{friction}=15.25\text{ }N

F_{friction} has a negative sign because it opposes the motion of the wagon.

∴ Frictional Force = 15.25 N

A woman pushes an oak chest across an oak floor at a constant speed of 0.450 m/s. The chest has a mass of 40.0 kg, and the coeff
natima [27]

Answer:

A. 243 N

Explanation:

Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion between systems that are in contact.

This friction force that opposes the motion of the oak chest across the oak surface will be equal and opposite to that exerted by the woman.

First find the normal force which is the force that would point directly upwards to support weight of the block.

Normal force, N= mg where m is the mass of the chest and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given m=40 kg and g=9.80 m/s²

N force=40×9.80 =392N

Then find the force of friction which is given by the formula;

<em>F=μN where μ is friction coefficient for the  oak chest  and N is the normal force on the chest</em>

Given <em>μ</em>=0.620  and N force = 392 N then it will be;

F=0.620× 392 =243.04 N

Answer : 243 N
