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.

Answer:Reducing mass i.e. water

Explanation:

Frequency For given mass in glass is given by

f=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

where k =stiffness of the glass

m=mass of water in glass

from the above expression we can see that if mass is inversely Proportional to frequency

thus reducing mass we can increase frequency

Answer:

Net force: 20 N to the right

mass of the bag: 20.489 kg

acceleration:  0.976  m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the normal force and the weight are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, they add up to zero in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction, the 195 N tension to the right minus the 175 force of friction to the left render a net force towards the right of magnitude:

195 N - 175 N = 20 N

So net force on the bag is 20 N to the right.

The mass of the bag can be found using the value of the weight force: 201 N:

mass = Weight/g = 201 / 9.81 = 20.489 kg

and the acceleration of the bag can be found as the net force divided by the mass we just found:

acceleration = 20 N / 20.489 kg = 0.976  m/s^2
