A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried down-stream by a current that flows uniformly with a speed of 2.20 m/s

. The child is 500 m from the shore and 1100 m upstream of the boat dock from which the rescue team sets out.
If their boat speed is 7.30 m/s with respect to the water, at what angle from the shore must the boat travel in order to reach the child?

Answer:

The angle is 65.6°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 2.20 m/s

Distance from the shore= 500 m

Distance from the bottom= 1100 m

Speed of boat = 7.30 m/s

According to figure,

We need to calculate the angle with shore

Using formula of angle

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{x}

Put the value into the formula

\tan\theta=\dfrac{500}{1100}

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{500}{1100})

\theta=24.4^{\circ}

We need to calculate the angle

\alpha=90-\theta

Put the value into the formula

\alpha=90-24.4

\alpha=65.6^{\circ}

Hence, The angle is 65.6°.

How do iquantum tunel through a wall and how long will it take me?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The phenomenon known as "tunneling" is one of the best-known predictions of quantum physics, because it so dramatically confounds our classical intuition for how objects ought to behave. If you create a narrow region of space that a particle would have to have a relatively high energy to enter, classical reasoning tells us that low-energy particles heading toward that region should reflect off the boundary with 100% probability. Instead, there is a tiny chance of finding those particles on the far side of the region, with no loss of energy. It's as if they simply evaded the "barrier" region by making a "tunnel" through it.
