For #2.
(A) The resultant velocity of the boat is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with the sides being the river and boat velocities.
The Pythagorean theorem: h^2 = a^2 + b^2
then you can use: soh cah toa to find any angles.
(B) The river velocity is not opposing the direction of travel, it increases the boats velocity from 2m/s to 2.5m/s
Answer:
A calorimeter uses the temperature change of water to determine the <u>specific heat </u> of another substance.
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Work done = ∫Fdx
= ∫(cx-3.00x²) dx
[ c x² / 2 - 3 x³ / 3 ]₀²
= change in kinetic energy
= 11-20
= - 9 J
[ c x² / 2 - x³ ]₀² = - 9
c x 2² / 2 - 2³ = -9
2c - 8 = -9
2c = -1
c = - 1/2
1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9
Explanation:
For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:
where
is the radius of the wheel
is the radius of the axle
For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that 
and 
, so the IMA is
2. Efficiency: 88.9%
Explanation:
The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:
In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is
