An ocean liner is cruising at 10 meters/second and is about to approach a stationary ferryboat. A parcel is released from the oc

ean liner from a height of 5.5 meters above the ferryboat’s deck. Calculate the distance at which the ferryman should position the boat from the point horizontally below the point of release so that the parcel lands inside the boat.

The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:

s = ut + 1/2 at²

where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity. 

5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Now, we may use this time to determine the horizontal distance covered by the parcel by using:
distance = velocity * time

The horizontal velocity of the parcel will be equal to the horizontal velocity of the cruise liner.

Distance = 10 * 1.06
Distance = 10.6 meters

The boat should be 10.6 meters away horizontally from the point of release.

Let, 1st force = a

2nd force = b

A.T.Q,

a+b = 10

a-b = 6

Calculate for a & b, you'll get a=8 & b= 2

After increasing by 3, it'll be a = 8+3 = 11 & b=2+3 = 5

Resultant force at 90 degree angle = 11+5 = 16 Newtons

The three stages of a train route took 1 hour ,2 hours ,and 4 hours . The first two stages were 80km and 200km of the train aver
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

the third stage was 480 km long

Explanation:

Stage 1:

Time = 1 hours

Speed = 80km

Stage 2:

Time =  2 hours

Speed = 200km

Stage 3:

Time =  4 hours

Let the Distance at the stage 3 be x

Average speed of the train route = 100 km/h

So

\frac{ \text{speed at stage 1} + \text{speed at stage 2} + \text{speed at stage 3}}{3} = 0

\frac{ \text{speed at stage 1} + \text{speed at stage 2} + \text{speed at stage 3}}{3} = 100

Lets find the speed at stage 1

Speed =  \frac{Distance }{Time}

Speed =  \frac{80}{1}

Speed 1= 80 km/hr

The speed at stage 2

Speed =  \frac{Distance }{Time}

Speed =  \frac{200}{2}

Speed 2  = 100 km/hr

The speed at stage 3

Speed =  \frac{Distance }{Time}

Speed =  \frac{x}{4}

Speed 3  = \frac{x}{4}

we kow that average is ,

\frac{ \text{speed 1} + \text{speed 2} + \text{speed 3}}{3} = 100

\frac{ 80 + 100+ \frac{x}{4} }{3} = 100

\frac{ 180 + \frac{x}{4} }{3} = 100

\frac{ \frac{720 +x}{4} }{3} = 100

\frac{720 +x}{4} \times \frac{1}{3} = 100

\frac{720 +x}{12} = 100

720 +x = 100 \times 12

720 +x = 1200

x = 1200- 720

x = 480
