a rescue line is to be thrown horizontally from the bridge of a cruise ship at 40.0 m above sea level to a life boat 50.0 m away

with what horizontal speed should the rescue line be thrown?

There is a 40m drop from the bridge, so we can work out the time of the vertical component first (how long it will take to reach the water) 

do this by using a SUVAT equation s=ut+0.5at^2
this rearranges to t= sqrt(2s/a)
- note that u has been removed since there is no initial velocity.
 
sqrt((2*40)/9.81)= 2.86 seconds 

this means that the horizontal component of 50m has so be covered in 2.86s 
and speed = distance/ time 

50m/2.86s=17.48ms^-1

the line has to be thrown at 17.48ms^-1 or more to reach the life boat.

Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the
Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)

a car takes 125 ft to brake from 60 to 0 mph. Assume that the acceleration of the Prius is constant while braking. Find how long
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.84 seconds

Explanation:

t = ?

distance = 125

Velocity origianal = 60 m/hr = 88 ft/s

     AVERAGE velocity = 88/2 = 44 ft/s

44 t = 125

t = 125/44 = 2.84 s
