Acceleration of an object is depended upon the net force acting open the object and the mass of the object
Answer:
a)V=18.35 m/s (South -East)
b) t =7.41 m/s
c)D= 66.70 m
Explanation:
Given that
Velocity of boat in east direction = 16 m/s
Velocity of river = 9 m/s
a)The resultant velocity V

V=18.35 m/s (South -East)
b)
We know that
Distance = Velocity x time
Lets t time takes to cross the river
136 = 18.35 x t
t =7.41 m/s
c)
The distance covered downstream
We know that
Distance = Velocity x time
t= 7.41 s
D= 7.41 x 9 m
D= 66.70 m
Answer:
Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)
Explanation:
We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.
Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.
- And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
