Answer:
v = 15 m / s
Explanation:
In this exercise we are given the position function
x = 5 t²
and we are asked for the average velocity in an interval between t = 0 and t= 3 s, which is defined by the displacement between the time interval
let's look for the displacements
t = 0 x₀ = 0 m
t = 3 = 5 3 2
x_{f} = 45 m
we substitute
v = 15 m / s
Answer:
If the canoe heads upstream the speed is zero. And directly across the river is 8.48 [km/h] towards southeast
Explanation:
When the canoe moves upstream, it is moving in the opposite direction of the normal river current. Since the velocities are vector (magnitude and direction) we can sum each vector:
Vr = velocity of the river = 6[km/h}
Vc = velocity of the canoe = -6 [km/h]
We take the direction of the river as positive, therefore other velocity in the opposite direction will be negative.
Vt = Vr + Vc = 6 - 6 = 0 [km/h]
For the second question, we need to make a sketch of the canoe and we are watching this movement at a high elevation. So let's say that the canoe is located in point 0 where it is located one of the river's borders.
So we are having one movement to the right (x-direction). And the movement of the river to the south ( - y-direction).
Since the velocities are vector we can sum each vector, so using the Pythagoras theorem we have:
