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

How do you calculate average speed?
Mila [183]

Divide
       (the distance covered in some period of time)
by
       (the time taken to cover the distance).

The quotient is the average speed during that period of time.

The atmosphere of Mars is almost all carbon dioxide and the average surface pressure is 610 Pa (as compared with 101,000 Pa on E
Karolina [17]

Answer:

   z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Explanation:

a) As they indicate that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas, we can use the equation

          P V = n R T

          P = (n r / V) T

We replace

         P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

b) Let's apply this equation in the points

Lower

        .z = 0

         P₀ = 610 Pa

         P₀ = (nR / V) T₀

Higher.

         P = 10 Pa

          P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

We replace

        P = P₀ e^{- C z}

        e^{- C z} = P / P₀

        C z = ln P₀ / P

        z = 1 / C ln P₀ / P

Let's calculate

        z = 1 / 1.1 10⁻⁵ ln (610/10)

        z = 3,737 10⁵ m
