Assume that the Deschutes River has straight and parallel banks and that the current is 0.75 m/s. Drifting down the river, you f

all out of your boat and immediately grab a piling of the Warm Springs Bridge. You hold on for 40 s and then swim after the boat with a speed relative to the water of 0.95 m/s. The distance of the boat downstream from the bridge when you catch it is______________.

Answer:

    d = 142.5 m

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise. Let's calculate how much the boat travels in the 40s

     d₀ = v_{b} t

    d₀ = 0.75 40

    d₀ = 30 m

Let's write the kinematic equations

Boat

     x = d₀  +  v_{b} t

     x = 0 +  v_{h} t

At the meeting point the coordinate is the same for both

    d₀  +  v_{b} t =  v_{h} t

    t ( v_{h} -  v_{b}) = d₀  

    t = d₀  / ( v_{b}-  v_{h})

The two go in the same direction therefore the speeds have the same sign

     t = 30 / (0.95-0.775)

     t = 150 s

The distance traveled by man is

     d =  v_{h} t

     d = 0.95 150

     d = 142.5 m

Thermodynamics
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

A heat engine is a device that converts internal energy into work. Internal energy is increased by the addition of heat. The efficiency of a heat engine is a measurement of how efficiently it works. Efficiency compares the amount of useful energy extracted from a process to the total energy input. The heat engine will be more efficient if the percentage is higher.

Friends Burt and Ernie stand at opposite ends of a uniform log that is floating in a lake. The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The distance the log has moved by the time Ernie reaches Bur is 1.33 m.

Explanation:

give information:

The log is 3.0 m long and has mass 20.0 kg.

Burt has mass 30.0 kg; Ernie has mass 40.0 kg

Ernie has mass 40.0 kg.

to find the distance, first, we have to calculate the center of mass

X = ∑ m x /∑m

   = (20 x (3/2)) + (30 x 0) + (40 x 3)/ (20+30+40)

   = 150/90

   = 5/3

when Ernie walk, the center of the mass is

X = (70 x 0) + (20 x (3/2))/(70 + 20)

  = 30/90

  = 1/3

the distance of log moved = 5/3 - 4/3 = 1.33 m
