Refer to the figure shown below.
The velocity of the child and the velocity of the ship should be added vectorially to find the speed and direction of the child relative to the water surface.
The magnitude of the child's velocity is
v = √(2² + 18²) = 18.11 mph
The direction of the child's speed is
θ = tan⁻¹ (18/2) = tan⁻¹ 9 = 83.7° north of east or counterclockwise from the eastern direction.
Answer:
The magnitude is 18.1 mph.
The direction is 84° north of east.
Answer:
An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element.
Matter is composed of very tiny or microscopic particles called "Atom".
(According to Dalton atomic theory some of his principles were wrong and later was corrected but the definition of an atom was right in his theory).
Answer:
Explanation:
The change of frecuency of sound due to the movement of the source is colled Doppler Effect.
As James (the source) is running toward the wall, the frecuency reaching the wall (so the eco sound) will be higher than the source. In this case the frecuency at the wall will be:
where is the speed of source, 2 m/s
and is the speed of sound, given that we have wind movind the air in the opposite direction respect to the wall, the speed of sound would be:
Replacing the values:
Now the wall becames the new source, and James (the observer is aproaching the source), for an observer aproaching the source the new frecuency will be:
Now the waves are traveling in the direction of wind, so the velocity of sound will be:
Replacing:
Answer:
2.15miles
Explanation:
The total distance traveled by Martina is the sum of the length of path of her travel. Distance is a scalar which has only magnitude but no directional attribute.
Total distance = Office - school + school - library + library - friend's house + friend's house - house
Now insert the given parameters:
Total distance = 1mile + 0.5mile + 0.25mile + 0.4mile = 2.15miles
Total distance is 2.15miles
