A boat moves through the water of a river at 10m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat ‘s direction . If the water in
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "61.37 s".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Boat moves,

= 10 m/s

Water flowing,

= 1.50 m/s

Displacement,

d = 300 m

Now,

The boat is travelling,

= 10+1.50

= 11.5 \ m/s

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ v = \frac{d}{t} \ sot \ t

      =\frac{d}{v}

On putting the values, we get

      =\frac{300}{11.5}

      =26.08 \ s

Throughout the opposite direction, when the boat seems to be travelling then,

= 10-1.50

= 8.5 \ m/s

Travelling such distance for 300 m will be:

⇒ v=\frac{v}{t} \ sot \ t

      =\frac{d}{v}

On putting the values, we get

      =\frac{300}{8.5}

      =35.29 \ s

hence,

The time taken by the boat will be:

= 26.08+35.29

= 61.37 \ s

The force of air resistance acts to oppose the motion of an object moving through the air. A ball is thrown upward and eventuall
ozzi

Answer:

For a (1) net force will be greater than the weight of the ball

For b (2) net force will be lesser than the weight of the ball

Explanation:

For (a):

For a linear motion of a system, one must have to understand, according to Newtons first law of motion, which is also known as law of inertia, a body which is at motion will continue to move or a body at rest will continue to rest until an external force is applied to it. In the given case, when ball goes upward, one thing is for sure, the net force is greater than the weight of the ball, because three forces are applied during upward motion:

gravity or weight which is pulling the ball downward,

air resistance, which is also acting downward as it is creating friction between ball and air molecules, so creating hindrance in upward motion

External force to throw ball upward

So

Net Force = Upward force - Air friction - Weight

Since ball is going upward, so net force is greater than both weight and air friction which are pulling ball downward.

For (b):

For a linear motion of a system, one must have to understand, according to Newtons first law of motion, which is also known as law of inertia, a body which is at motion will continue to move or a body at rest will continue to rest until an external force is applied to it. In the given case, when ball goes downward, one thing is for sure, the net force is lesser than the weight of the ball, because two forces are applied during downward motion:

gravity or weight which is pulling the ball downward,

air resistance, which is acting upward as it is creating friction between ball and air molecules, so creating hindrance in downward motion

So

Net Force = Weight - Air friction

Since ball is going downward, so weight is greater than net force which is in this case is air friction which is pulling ball upward.
