vA child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0

.6 km from the shore and 2.5 km upstream from the dock. A rescue boat with speed 24.8 km/hr (with respect to the water) sets off from the dock at the optimum angle to reach the child as fast as possible. How far from the dock does the boat re?

Answer:

d = 2.26 km

Explanation:

Let the child is moving with speed same as the speed of water flow

So here the position of child with respect to flow must be zero

And if the boat start at an angle with the vertical

so its relative speed with flow of water is given as

v_x = 24.8 sin\theta

v_y = 24.8 cos\theta

now the time to reach the child is given as

\frac{0.6}{24.8 cos\theta} = \frac{2.5}{24.8 sin\theta }

so now we have

\theta = 76.5 degree

So the time to catch the child is given as

t = \frac{0.6}{24.8 cos78.2}

t = 0.104 h

So distance moved by it in 0.104 h

distance moved by the boat in upstream direction given as

x = (24.8 sin 74.8 - 3.1)(0.104)

x = 2.18 km

In y direction the displacement of boat is

y = 0.6 km

net displacement of the ball is given as

d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

d = \sqrt{2.18^2 + 0.6^2}

d = 2.26 km

Satellite A has an orbital radius 3.00 times greater than that of satellite B. Satellite B's orbital period around Earth is 120
igomit [66]

Answer:

To find the circumference (orbit) of an object, you use Pi x Diameter. 

As you have the circumference of B, you divide it by Pi to get the Diameter. 

So 120 divided by 3.141592654 = 38.2 minutes for the Diameter. 

As' radius and Diameter will be 3x greater than B. 

38.2 x 3 = 114.6 

To get back to the orbital period, times 114.6 by Pi, and you will get 360 minutes

Find the mass of a 52.2N bucket.​
Goshia [24]

Answer:

m = 5.22 kg

Explanation:

The force acting on the bucket is 52.2 N.

We need to find the mass of the bucket.

The force acting on the bucket is given by :

F = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity

m is mass

m=\dfrac{F}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{52.2}{10}\\\\=5.22\ kg

So, the mass of the bucket is 5.22 kg.
