A swimmer wants to swim straight across a river with current flowing at a speed of v1 = 0.32 km/h. If the swimmer swims in still

water with speed v2 = 0.85 km/h, at what angle θ should the swimmer point upstream from the shore and at what speed v will the swimmer swim across the river?

For the swimmer to go straight the sin component of his velocity should  cancel the river velocity.

So, we have v_{1} = v_2sinθ

This angle θ is the angle  shall the swimmer point upstream from the shore.

0.32 = 0.85 sin[/tex]θ

θ = 22.12^0

The velocity of swimmer across the river is given by cos componet of his velocity

 v = 0.85 cosθ = 0.85 cos 22 = 0.79 m/s

A 1000.0 kg truck accelerates from 20.0 m/s to 25.0 m/s over a distance of 300.0 m. What is the average net force on the truck?
choli [55]

Answer:

The average net force on the truck is 375 Newtons.

Explanation:

Using Newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have :

v^{2} - u^{2} = 2×a×s

where, v = final velocity = 25 m/s

u = initial velocity = 20 m/s

a = acceleration

s = distance traveled = 300 m

Using these values in the above equation, we get acceleration = 0.375 m/s^{2}

Using Newton's second law, we have:

F=m×a

where m = mass = 1000 kg

a= acceleration = 0.375 m/s^{2}

Putting values we have F=375 N

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of

v = E / B

Explanation:

After reading this long statement we can extract the data to work on the problem.

* They indicate that when the beam passes through the plates it deviates towards the positive plate, so the beam must be negative electrons.

* Now indicates that the electric field and the magnetic field are contracted and that the beam passes without deviating, so the electric and magnetic forces must be balanced

           F_{e} =  F_{m}

           q E = qv B

           v = E / B

this configuration is called speed selector

They ask us what type of beam was used.

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of v = E / B
