<h2>Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth is 5 m/s 56.31° north of east</h2>

Explanation:

A boat heads north in still water at 4.5 m/s directly across a river that is running east at 3.0 m/s.

Let north be positive y axis and east be positive x axis.

We have

         Velocity of boat = 4.5 j m/s

          Velocity of river = 3 i m/s

Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth = 3 i + 4.5 j

\texttt{Magnitude of velocity = }\sqrt{3^2+4.5^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude of velocity = }5.41m/s

\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{4.5}{3}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }56.31^0

That is 56.31° north of east.

Velocity of the boat with respect to Earth is 5 m/s 56.31° north of east

Answer:

5.41 m/s

Explanation:

velocity of boat with respect to water , Vb,w = 4.5 j

velocity of water with respect to ground, Vw,g = 3 i

velocity of boat with respect to water = velocity of boat - velocity of water

Vb,w = Vb, g - Vw, g

4.5 i = Vb,g - 3i

Vb,g = 3 i + 4.5 j

The magnitude of velocity = \sqrt{3^{2}+4.5^{2}} = 5.41 m/s

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

  We shall apply concept of Doppler's effect of apparent frequency to this problem . Here observer is moving sometimes towards and sometimes away from the source . When observer moves towards the source , apparent frequency is more than real frequency and when the observer moves away from the source , apparent frequency is less than real frequency . The apparent frequency depends upon velocity of observer . The formula for apparent frequency when observer is going away is as follows .

f = f₀ ( V - v₀ ) / V , f is apparent , f₀ is real frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of observer .

f will be lowest when v₀ is highest .

velocity of observer is highest when he is at the equilibrium position or at middle point .

So apparent frequency is lowest when observer is at the middle point and going away from the source  while swinging to and from before the source of sound .

You apply a horizontal force of 25N to push a shopping cart across the parking lot at a constant velocity. a) what is the net fo
AlekseyPX

(a) The net force on the shopping cart is zero.

(b) The the force of friction on the shopping cart is 25 N.

(c) When same force is applied to the shopping cart on a wet surface, it will move faster.

<h3>Net force on the shopping cart</h3>

The net force on the shopping cart is calculated as follows;

F(net) = F - Ff

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • Ff is the frictional force

ma = F - Ff

where;

  • a is acceleration of the cart
  • m is mass of the cart

at a constant velocity, a = 0

0 = F - Ff

F(net)  = 0

F = Ff = 25 N

Net force is zero, and frictional force is equal to applied force.

<h3>On wet surface</h3>

Coefficient of kinetic friction of solid surface is greater than that of wet surface.

Since frictional force limit motion, when the frictional force is smaller, the object tends to move faster.

Thus, the cart will move faster on a wet surface due to decrease in friction.

A car is on a circular off ramp of an interstate and is traveling at exactly 25 mph around the curve. Does the car have velocity
netineya [11]

Answer:

The car has velocity and acceleration but is not decelerating

Explanation:

Since the car is traveling at 25 mph around the curve, it has a tangential velocity. This tangential velocity is constantly changing in direction (so the car could adapt to the curve and not moving forward in a straight line), there should be a centripetal acceleration in play here. This acceleration does not slow down the car so it's not decelerating.
