Answer:

Direction of ship: 9.45° West of North

Ship's relative speed: 7.87m/s

Explanation:

A. Direction of ship: since horizontal of the velocity of boat relative to the ground is 0

Vx=0

Therefore, -VsSin∅+VcCos∅40°

Sin∅ = Vc/Vs × Cos 40°

Sin∅ = 1.5/7 ×Cos40°

Sin∅= 0.164

∅= Sin-¹ (0.164)

∅= 9.45° W of N

B. Ship's relative speed:

Vy= VsCos∅ + Vcsin40°

= 7Cos9.45° + 1.5sin40°

= 7×0.986 + 1.5×0.642

= 7.865

= 7.87m/s

How do you make an electromagnet
Ivan

Putting a piece of iron or steel inside the coil makes the magnet strong enough to attract objects. The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the number of loops of wire around the iron core and by increasing the current or voltage.
