Explanation:
It is given that,
Velocity in East,
Velocity in North,
(a) The resultant velocity is given by :
(b) The width of the river is, d = 80 m
Let t is the time taken by the boat to travel shore to shore. So,
t = 16 seconds
(c) Let x is the distance covered by the boat to reach the opposite shore. So,
x = 48 meters
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
340.67 kgm²/s
Explanation:
R = Radius of merry-go-round = 1.9 m
I = Moment of inertia = 209 kgm²
= Initial angular velocity = 1.63 rad/s
m = Mass of person = 73 kg
v = Velocity = 4.8 m/s
Initial angular momentum is given by
The initial angular momentum of the merry-go-round is 340.67 kgm²/s
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The torque exerted by a force is given by:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the pivot
is the angle between the directions of F and d
We see that the magnitude of the torque depends on 3 factors. In this problem, we have 2 forces of equal magnitude (so, equal F). Moreover, one of the forces (let's call it force 1) acts farther from the pivot than force 2, so we have
However, this does not mean that force 1 produces a greater torque. In fact, it also depends on the angle at which the force is applied. For instance, if the first force is applied parallel to d, then we have
and the torque produced by this force would be zero.
So, the statement is false.
