A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea
Savatey [412]

Answer:

41.81^{\circ}

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector \overrightarrow{OA} is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, \vec {R} must be in the north direction.

Let \overrightarrow{AB} is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector \overrightarrow {OA} and head of the vector \overrightarrow{AB} must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|

\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3

\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23

\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of 41.81^{\circ}  in the north of east direction.

This dude was sitting in the chair. Someone pulls the chair out from under him. He does not move in the direction of the chair.
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

This shows inertia because inertia is an object's resistance to change in motion. When the person (imma call them a she) who pulled the chair from under the guy did that, the chair was the one affected by the force of the girl, not the guy. The guy continued heading in the direction he was originally going, which was down.

At least, that's about how I would answer this question.

A motorcycle moving at a constant velcoity suddenly accelerates at a rate of 4.0 m/s/s to a speed of 35 m/s in 5.0 s. What was t
oee [108]

Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

v = u+ at

35 = u + 20

35-20 = u

u= 15 m/s
