A boat moves through the water of a river at 4.72 m/s relative to the water, regardless of the boat’s direction. If the current

is flowing at 3.86 m/s, how long does it take the boat to complete a trip consisting of a 297 m displacement downstream followed by a 389 m displacement upstream? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

486.95s

Explanation:

Let the velocity of the boat be v_b and that of the river be v_r.

When the boat is moving downstream, the resultant velocity is given by;

v=v_b+v_r\\Given;\\v_b=4.72m/s\\v_r=3.86m/s\\therefore\\v=4.72m/s+3.86m/s=8.58m/s

Recall that

velocity=\frac{dispacement}{time}.............(1)

Given; downstream displacement, d = 297m. Therefore by equation (1);

8.58=\frac{297}{t_1}\\t_1=\frac{297}{8.58}\\t_1=34.62s

where t_1 is the time taken to travel downstream displacement.

When the boat is moving upstream it is moving directly against the river current, hence its resultant velocity in this case becomes;

v=v_b-v_r\\v=4.72-3.86=0.86m/s

The time taken upstream is then calculated as follows given that the upstream displacement is 389m, according to equation (1);

0.86=\frac{389}{t_2}\\

therefore t_2=\frac{389}{0.86}=452.326s

Hence the total time taken by the boat to complete its trip as specified is given as follows;

t_{total}=t_1+t_2= 34.62+452.326\\t_{total}=486.95s

Answer:

Total time taken by boat to cover all the displacement = 452.3254 sec

Explanation:

We have given speed of boat = 4.72 m/sec

Speed of current flowing = 3.86 m./sec

In downstream relative speed of boat = speed of boat + speed of current flowing = 4.72+3.86 = 8.58 m/sec

Distance traveled downstream = 297 m

So time taken by boat to travel 297 m downstream t_1=\frac{297}{8.58}=34.615sec

In upstream relative speed of speed = speed of boat - speed of current flowing = 4.72 -3.86 = 0.86 m/sec

Distance traveled in upstream = 389 m

So time taken to travel 289 m upstream t_2=\frac{389}{0.86}=452.325sec

So total time t=t_1+t_2=34.615+452.325486.94 sec

w strong are you? Could you turn a moving car with just your own strength? No way! If a normal driver inputs about 50 N of force
malfutka [58]

The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is the measure of its amplified force gain.

The mechanical advantage  is defined as the force amplified by a machine to the force required to generate such output.

Mathematically\ mechanical\ advantage\ MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

F_{o} \ and\ F_{i} are the amplified force and applied force. We may also consider them as output and input force.          


In the given question, the force given to the steering wheel is 50 N.

The output force produced by the steering wheel is 3750 N.

Hence the mechanical advantage will be-

                               MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

                                       =\frac{3750\ N}{50\ N}

                                       =75      [ans]

A wheel that was initially spinning is accelerated at a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s^2. After 8.0 s, the wheel is
notka56 [123]

Answer:

a)  Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) Final angular speed = 70 rad/s        

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

    Here s = 400 radians

              t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²

    Substituting

             400 = u x 8 + 0.5 x 5 x 8²

              u = 30 rad/s

   Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Here u = 30 rad/s

               t = 8 s

              a = 5 rad/s²  

    Substituting

             v = 30 + 5 x 8 = 70 rad/s    

   Final angular speed = 70 rad/s

Two forces and are applied to an object whose mass is 13.3 kg. The larger force is . When both forces point due east, the object
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

First, It's important to remember F = ma, and in this problem m = 13.3 kg

This can be reduced to a simple system of equations problem.  Now if they are both going the same way then we add them, while if they are going the opposite way we subtract them.  So let's call them F1 and F2, with F1 arger than F2.  Now, When we add them together F1+F2 = (.723 m/s^2)*13.3kg and then when we subtract them, and have the larger one pushing toward the east, let's call F1 the larger one, F1-F2 = (.493 m/s^2)*13.3kg.  

Can you solve this system of equations seeing them like this, or do you need more help?

Why is plate tectonics a widely accepted theory?
MariettaO [177]

Answer: The theory of Plate Tectonics is now widely accepted because there is sufficient proof to support it, and it is an important aspect of geology, oceanography, geophysics and even paleontology.

Explanation: In places where a plate faced resistance to its movement, it would fold upward and create mountains. Hope this helped! :)

A photovoltaic panel of dimension 2 m × 4 m is installed on the roof of a home. The panel is irradiated with a solar flux of GS
Flura [38]

Answer:

(a) the electrical power generated for still summer day is 1013.032 W

(b)the electrical power generated for a breezy winter day is 1270.763 W

Explanation:

Given;

Area of panel = 2 m × 4 m, = 8m²

solar flux  GS = 700 W/m²

absorptivity of the panel, αS = 0.83

efficiency of conversion, η = P/αSGSA = 0.553 − 0.001 K⁻¹ Tp
