A man at point A directs his rowboat due north toward point B, straight across a river of width 100 m. The river current is due

east. The man starts across, rowing steadily at 0.75 m/s and reaches the other side of the river at point C, 150 m downstream from his starting point. While the man is crossing the river, what is his velocity relative to the shore?

Answer:

1.35208 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of the boat = 0.75 m/s

Distance between the shores = 100 m

Time = Distance / Speed

Time=\frac{100}{0.75}=133.33\ s

Time taken by the boat to get across is 133.33 seconds

Point C is 150 m from B

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed=\frac{150}{\frac{100}{0.75}}=1.125\ m/s

Velocity of the water is 1.125 m/s

From Pythagoras theorem

c=\sqrt{0.75^2+1.125^2}\\\Rightarrow c=1.35208\ m/s

So, the man's velocity relative to the shore is 1.35208 m/s

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.

We know that the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. It only changes form. Conside
Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).

trapecia [35]

Answer: G=F\frac{r^{2}}{m^{2}}

Explanation:

We have the following equation:

F=G\frac{m^{2}}{r^{2}}

We have to find G this means we have to isolate it:

Fr^{2}=Gm^{2}

G=F\frac{r^{2}}{m^{2}}

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Horizontal distance, R = vo2 sin(2x45)/g

v = 285 km/h = 79.17 m/s

R = 79.172 x 1/1.6

R = 3917 m

R = 3.9 km
