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

Viktor [21]
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>

Bits of paper are attracted to an electrified comb or rod, even though they have nonet charge. How is this possible?
SashulF [63]

Explanation:

An electrified comb is charged comb ( let say by running it through the hair) and when it is brought in the proximity of  pieces of paper, the pieces tend to cling to it. This happens because the charged comb induces an opposite charge in the paper pieces and as opposite charges attract each other, the pieces are clinged.

What happens when an object experiences friction?
kaheart [24]

Answer:Whenever a moving object experiences friction, some of its kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy. Mechanical energy is always transformed into thermal energy due to friction. Mechanical energy is always transformed into thermal energy due to friction.

Ship A is located 4.1 km north and 2.3 km east of ship B. Ship A has a velocity of 22 km/h toward the south and Ship B has a vel
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a) x component  = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr

Explanation:

Given data:

A position is 4km north and 2.5 km east to B

Ship A velocity = 22 km/hr

ship B velocity = 40 km/hr

A velocity wrt to velocity of B

\vec{V_{AB}} =\vec{V_A} - \vec{V_B}

\vec{V_A} = 22 km/hr

\vec{V_B} = 40 cos38\hat{i} + 40sin 38 \hat{j}

                 = 31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j}

putting respective value to get velocity of  A with respect to B

\vec{V_{AB}} = -22 \hat {j} - (31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j})

\vec{V_{AB}} = -31.52\hat{i} - 46.62\hat{j}

a) x component  = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr
