Please help!!! A river has a constant current of 3 km per hour. If a motorboat, capable of maintaining a constant speed of 20km

per hour, tries to reach a point directly opposite the dock, what will his actual speed and direction be? If the river is 2 km wide, how long will it take to cross?

Construct a vector diagram. It will be a right-angled triangle. One vector (the hypotenuse) represents the heading of the boat, one represents the current and one represents the resultant speed of the boat, which I'll call x. Their magnitudes are 20, 3 and x. Let the required angle = theta. We have: 

<span>theta = arcsin(3/20) = approx. 8.63° </span>

<span>The boat should head against the current in a direction approx. 8.63° to the line connecting the dock with the point opposite, or approx. 81.37° to the shore line. </span>

<span>x = sqrt(20^2 - 3^2) </span>
<span>= sqrt(400 - 9) </span>
<span>= sqrt 391 </span>

<span>The boat's crossing time = </span>
<span>0.5 km/(sqrt 391 km/hr) </span>
<span>= (0.5/sqrt 391) hr </span>
<span>= approx. 0.025 hr </span>
<span>= approx. 91 seconds</span>

What gravitational force does the moon produce on the earth is their centers are 3. 88x10^8 m apart and the moon has a mass of 7
vitfil [10]

The Moon is 3.8 108 m from Earth and has a mass of 7.34 1022 kg. 5.97 1024 kg is the mass of the Earth.

<h3>What kind of gravitational pull does the moon have on the planet?</h3>

On the surface of the Moon, the acceleration caused by gravity around   1.625 m/s2 which is 16.6% greater than on the surface of the Earth 0.166.

<h3>What does the Earth's center's gravitational pull feel like?</h3>

Gravity is zero if you are in the centre of the earth since everything around you is pulling "up" (up is the only direction).

<h3>Where is the Earth's and the moon's gravitational centre?</h3>

It is around 1700 kilometres below Earth's surface.

You have a grindstone (a disk) that is 95.2 kg, has a 0.399 m radius, and is turning at 93 rpm, and you press a steel axe agains
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

angular acceleration is -0.2063  rad/s²

Explanation:

Given data

mass m = 95.2 kg

radius r = 0.399 m

turning ω = 93 rpm

radial force N  = 19.6 N

kinetic coefficient of friction  μ = 0.2

to find out

angular acceleration

solution

we know frictional force that is = radial force × kinetic coefficient of friction

frictional force = 19.6 × 0.2

frictional force = 3.92 N

and

we know moment of inertia  that is

γ =  I ×α = frictional force × r

so

γ  = 1/2 mr²α

α  = -2f /mr

α  = -2(3.92) /95.2 (0.399)

α  = - 7.84 / 37.9848 = -0.2063

so angular acceleration is -0.2063  rad/s²

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1. 2 m/s? 3. 8 kg • m/s 4. 2 kg • m/s 6. 0 kg • m/s 6. 2 kg â
nevsk [136]

The momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.

<h3> MOMENTUM:</h3>

Momentum of a substance is the product of its mass and velocity. That is;

Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)

According to this question, an object has a mass of 5kg and velocity of 1.2m/s. The momentum is calculated thus:

Momentum = 5kg × 1.2m/s

Momentum = 6kgm/s.

Therefore, the momentum of a 5kg object that has a velocity of 1.2m/s is 6.0kgm/s.
