Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of 104 km/h for half an hour (0.500 h), th

e blue boat headed 24.0° south of west, and the green boat headed 37.7° south of west. During this half-hour (a) how much farther west does the blue boat travel, compared to the green boat, and (b) how much farther south does the green boat travel, compared to the blue boat? Express your answers in km.

Answer:

The blue boat traveled 6.1 km farther west than the green boat

The green boat traveled 10.7 km farther south than the blue boat

Explanation:

The equation for linear uniform speed movement is

X(t) = X0 + v * t

Since we have two coordinates (X, Y) we use

X(t) = X0 + vx * t

Y(t) = Y0 + vy * t

The dock will be the origin of coordinates so X0 and Y0 will be zero. The X axis will be pointing west and the Y axis south.

The blue boat moves with a direction 24° south of west, so it will have speeds:

vxb = 104 * cos(24) = 95 km/h

vyb = 104 * sin(24) = 42.3 km/h

And the green boat:

vxg = 104 * cos(37.7) = 82.3 km/h

vyg = 104 * sin(37.7) = 63.6 km/h

After half hour the boats will have arrived at positions

Xb = 95 * 0.5 = 47.5 km

Yb = 42.3 * 0.5 = 21.1 km

And

Xg = 82.3 * 0.5 = 41.4 km

Yg = 63.6 * 0.5 = 31.8 km

The difference in positions of the boats

47.5 - 41.4 = 6.1 km

31.8 - 21.1 = 10.7 km

How can you justify that force is transferred to lift and throw soil using shovel?<br>​
Natali [406]

Forces are needed to lift, turn, move, open, close, push, pull, and so on. When you throw a ball, you are using force to make the ball move through the air. More than one force can act on an object at the same time.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

f = 1 m

Explanation:

The magnification of the lens is given by the formula:

M = \frac{q}{p}

where,

M = Magnification = 4

q = image distance = 5 m

p = object distance = ?

Therefore,

4 = \frac{5\ m}{p}\\\\p = \frac{5\ m}{4}\\\\p = 1.25\ m

Now using thin lens formula:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{1.25\ m}+\frac{1}{5\ m}\\\\\frac{1}{f} = 1\ m^{-1}\\\\

<u>f = 1 m</u>
