A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.07 10-5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the ground

exerts a force of 1.14 10-6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude (in m/s2) of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.0 10-7 kg. (Let us assume that).

Answer:

a) 15.77 m/sec2

b) 13.3 deg

Explanation:

we are given;

Flea force = F1=1.07×10⁻5 N j

Breeze force = F2 = 1.14× 10⁻6 N (-j

mass of flea =6.0 ×10⁻7 kg

So net force on the flea=F1+F2+weight of flea=1.07×10⁻5 j +1.14× 10⁻6 i + 6.0 ×10⁻7 (-j) ×9.8= ma

==> ma = 1.07×10⁻5 j - 0.588×10⁻5 j + 0.114×10⁻5 i

==> ma= 0.482 ×10⁻5 j +0.114×10⁻5 i

==> ma = 0.114×10⁻5 i +0.482 ×10⁻5 j

== a = (0.114×10⁻5 i +0.482 ×10⁻5 j) / 6.0 ×10⁻7

==> a =

==>a= (1.9 j+8.03 i ) m/sec2

mag of a \sqrt{1.9^{2}  +8.03^{2} = 15.77 m/sec2

direction angle = tan⁻1(1.9/8.03)=13.3°

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river,
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

t=40s,

Explanation:

If you can swim in still water at 0.5m/s, the shortest time it would take you to swim from bank to bank across a 20m wide river, if the water flows downstream at a rate of 1.5m/s, is most nearly:

from the question the swimmer will have a velocity which is equal to the sum of the speed of the water and the velocity to swi across the bank

Vt=v1+v2

the time is takes to swim across the bank will be

DY=Dv*t

DY=distance across the bank

Dv=ther velocity of the swimmer across the bank

t=20/ 0.5m/s,

t=40s, time it takes to swim across the bank

velocity is the rate of displacement

displacement is distance covered in a specific direction
