Answer:

The velocity of the boat with respect to the ground is 3 km/h

Explanation:

The speed of an object is different depending on the reference system you use. This is called relative speed.

A boat travels upstream, this means that it moves in the opposite direction to the river current.

A boat travels upstream, this means that it moves in the opposite direction to the river current. Then, if the boat moves in the positive direction of the x axis at 10 km / h with respect to the water of a river, the water flows in the negative direction of the x axis at 7 km / h with respect to the ground.

This causes the speed of the boat relative to the ground to be calculated as follows:  

<em>VbG = Vbw - VwG </em>

where VbG is the speed of the boat relative to the ground, Vbw is the speed of the boat relative to the water of the river and VwG is the speed of the water relative to the ground.

So: VbG=10 km/h – 7 km/h

<u><em>VbG= 3 km/h </em></u>

The direction of this velocity is in the positive x-direction.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

All the energy sources are correctly matched with their category.

Explanation:

Renewable energy sources:

These are energy sources which can be replenished as they don't in involves the irreversible phase change.

These resources can never be ended as they can be used again and again.

Wind, geothermal, biomass, bio gas are example of renewable energy sources.

Non renewable energy sources:

These are the energy source which can never be replenished after one time use. They undergo the chemical irreversible change.

These sources are lacking with the passage of time because they can never be reused.

Oil, gas, coal and natural gas are examples.

A person is diving in a lake in the depth of h = 5.5 m. The density of the water is rho = 1.0 x10^3 kg/m^3. The pressure of the
Cloud [144]

Answer:a) P = Po + rho×h×g

b) P = 5.4 × 10^9 pa

c) F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

d) 1.174×10^11N

Explanation: Using the formula

P = Po + rho×h×g

P =  1.0 x 10^5 + 1000 × 5.5 × 9.81

P = 5.4 × 10^9pa

The magnitude of the force exerted by water on the top of the person's head F at the depth h in terms of P

F = P/A = (Po + rho×h×g)/A

Using the above formula

Where A = 0.046m^2

F = P/ A = 5.4×10^9/0.046

F = 1.174×10^11N
