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?

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

Does the depth of a pot affect how water freezes
Iteru [2.4K]
In my opinion it does. The more water the pot holds, the longer you need to wait for it to freeze. Since there is more water, some parts may not be completely frozen. An experiment you can try is to get an ice cube container and a pot. fill both of them and put them in the freezer for the same amount of time. When you take it out, the ice cubes should be frozen leaving the pot with cold water.

if an average cloud has a density of 0.5 g/m3 and has a volume of 1,000,000,000 m3,what is the weight of an average cloud
sveta [45]

If you have (1 x 10⁹) cubic meters of volume, and 1/2 gram of mass
in each cubic meter, then you have

          (1/2 x 10⁹) grams = (5 x 10⁸) grams = (5 x 10⁵) kilograms of mass . 

On Earth, that mass weighs  4,900,000 newtons .

                                            (about  1,102,300 pounds)

                                            (about  551 tons)
