Refer to the figure shown below.

The velocity of the child and the velocity of the ship should be added vectorially to find the speed and direction of the child relative to the water surface.

The magnitude of the child's velocity is
v = √(2² + 18²) = 18.11 mph

The direction of the child's speed is
θ = tan⁻¹ (18/2) = tan⁻¹ 9 = 83.7° north of east or counterclockwise from the eastern direction.

Answer:
The magnitude is 18.1 mph.
The direction is 84° north of east.

Describe each of Newton’s Laws of Motion in ice skating. What can you design/develop to improve ice skating?
denis23 [38]

Newton's three laws of motion can be used to describe the motion of the ice skating.

<h3>Newton's first law of motion</h3>

Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest or uniform motion in a straight line will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

  • Based on this law, once the ice skating starts, it will continue endlessly unless external force stops it.

<h3>Newton's second law of motion</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of an object.

  • Based on this law, the force applied to the ice skating is equal to the product of mass and acceleration of the ice skating.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

This law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

  • Based on this law, the force applied to the ice skating is equal in magnitude to the reaction of ice.

one group of atoms on the periodic tables are known as "noble gases". why have they been given this name?​
maria [59]
This group is called “noble gases” because they do not react with other elements. This is because they have a full valence shell.

A person wants to fire a water balloon cannon such that it hits a target 100m100m away. if the cannon can only be launched at 45
vladimir2022 [97]
<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>
