Danny lowers the sails on his boat. He paddles upstream at 19 km/hr. The current is still running downstream at 15 km/hr. What i

s the actual velocity of the boat?

Answer:

4 km/hr

Explanation:

The computation of the actual velocity is shown below:

Because the path of its paddles is opposed to the current direction, the real velocity can be determined by deducting the current velocity to its velocity while paddling

So, the actual velocity is

= Upstream - downstream

= 19 km/hr - 15 km/hr

= 4 km/hr

As we can see it is in positive, so it is an upstream direction

An object carries a +15.5 uC charge.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

3.67 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge of 1st object (q₁) = +15.5 μC

Charge of 2nd object (q₂) = –7.25 μC

Distance apart (r) = 0.525 m

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall convert micro coulomb (μC) to coulomb (C). This can be obtained as follow:

For the 1st object

1 μC = 1×10¯⁶ C

Therefore,

15.5 μC = 15.5 × 1×10¯⁶

15.5 μC = 15.5×10¯⁶ C

For the 2nd object:

1 μC = 1×10¯⁶ C

Therefore,

–7.25 μC = –7.25 × 1×10¯⁶

–7.25 μC = –7.25×10¯⁶ C

Finally, we shall determine the force. This can be obtained as follow:

Charge of 1st object (q₁) = +15.5×10¯⁶ C

Charge of 2nd object (q₂) = –7.25×10¯⁶ C

Distance apart (r) = 0.525 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 15.5×10¯⁶ × 7.25×10¯⁶ / 0.525²

F = 3.67 N

Therefore, the force on the object is 3.67 N
