Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. boat a goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. boat

b goes across at 24 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 72 km/h. turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the round trip first wins. (a) which boat wins? (or is it a tie?)

Answer:

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Explanation:

Case 1: Boat 1

Speed of boat = \frac{distance of river}{time}

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

While going to another end

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{48}

time = 1 hour

While going back,

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{48}

time = 1 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.

Case 2: Boat 2

Speed of boat = \frac{distance of river}{time}

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

While going to another end

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{24}

time = 2 hour

While going back,

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{72}

time = 0.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Answer:

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo is 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo is 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of Christian and his bicycle = 54 kg

The mass of the cargo = 12 kg

1) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = Mass of Christian and his bicycle × Acceleration due to gravity

∴ The force Christian can exert on his bicycle before picking up the the cargo = 54 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 529.74 N

2) The force Christian can exert on his bicycle after picking up the the cargo = (54 + 12) kg × 9.81 m/s² = 647.46 N

Therefore, Christian has to exert more force on his bike after picking up the cargo.
