A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v

elocity of 10.3 m/s due north relative to the water.
a) What is the velocity of the boat relative to shore?
b) If the river is 300 m wide, how far downstream has the boat moved by the time it reaches the north shore?

Answer:

part (a) v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

  • velocity of the river due to east = v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.
  • velocity of the boat due to the north = v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are 90^o

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.

Let \theta be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o

part (b)

  • Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river.\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m

Calculate the electric potential energy in a capacitor that stores 4.0 10-10 C of charge at 250.0 V
Arada [10]
Q = C.v
v = Q/C
v = 4 × 10^(-10)/250
 = 4 × 10^(-10)/2.5 × 10^2
 = 1.6 × 10^(-12) volt

What force must be used to do 224 Joules of work on an object over a distance of 32 meters?
cestrela7 [59]
7.625 Newtons

work = force× distance
Newtons is an accepted value for force

so take the total 224 joules and decide by distance 32 meters to find force in Newtons

What happens to kinetic energy when you increase the mass?
Rus_ich [418]

Increasing mass increases kinetic energy. This can be seen in the equation KE = 1/2 (m) (v)^2
