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.

The electric field direction is defined by the direction of the force felt by
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

By a positive charge

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector consisting of a magnitude and a direction.

- The magnitude of the field depends on the configuration of the field: for example, for the electric field produced by a single point charge, it is

E=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the magnitude of the charge, r is the distance from the charge.

- The direction of the field corresponds to the force that a positive charge would feel in that field. For example, the electric field produced by a single-point positive charge points away from the charge itself: this is because a positive test charge placed in this field would feel a repulsive force, so it  would move away from the source of the field. Vice-versa, the electric field produced by a single-point negative charge points towards the charge itself: this is because a positive test charge placed in this field would feel an attractive force, so it  would move towards the source of the field.

As more resistors are added in parallel across a constant voltage source, the power supplied by the source
kaheart [24]

As more resistors are added in parallel across a constant voltage source, there are more paths for current to take.  So more current dribbles out of the source, and the total current supplied by the source increases.

The power supplied by the battery is (voltage) x (current).  So if the voltage is constant and the current increases, the power being supplied must also increase.
