Two canoeists in identical canoes exert the same effort paddling and hence maintain the same speed relative to the water. One pa

ddles directly upstream (and moves upstream), whereas the other paddles directly downstream. With downstream as the positive direction, an observer on shore determines the velocities of the two canoes to be −1.9 m/s and +2.8 m/s, respectively. What is the speed of each canoe relative to the water?

Answer:

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Explanation:

v_r = Speed of river

v_c = Speed of canoe

v_r+v_c=2.8\ m/s

v_r-v_c=-1.9\ m/s

Adding the equations we get

2v_r=0.9\\\Rightarrow v_r=\frac{0.9}{2}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.45\ m/s

0.42+v_c=2.8\ m/s\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.8-0.45\\\Rightarrow v_c=2.65\ m/s

Speed of river is 0.45 m/s

Speed of boat is 2.65 m/s

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

will mostly accord at the top of the boiling water my kind sir

Explanation:

Evaporation takes place only at the surface of a liquid, whereas boiling may occur throughout the liquid. In boiling, the change of state takes place at any point in the liquid where bubbles form. The bubbles then rise and break at the surface of the liquid.

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities are capable of modest accelerations. The magni
Mkey [24]
During the first phase of acceleration we have:
v o = 4 m/s;  t = 8 s; v = 13 m/s, a = ?
v = v o + a * t
13 m/s = 4 m / s + a * 8 s
a * 8 s = 9 m/s
a = 9 m/s : 8 s
a = 1.125 m/s²
The final speed:
v = ?;  v o = 13 m/s; a = 1.125 m/s² ;  t = 16 s
v = v o + a * t
v = 13 m/s + 1.125 m/s² * 16 s
v = 13 m/s + 18 m/s = 31 m/s
