A boat is traveling upstream in the positive direction of the x axis at 10 km/h with respect to the water of a river. The water

is flowing at 7 km/h with respect to the ground. (a) What is the velocity of the boat with respect to the ground?

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.

Which choice has more thermal energy?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

If thermal energy is the motion energy of the particles of a substance, which has more thermal energy—the cup of hot tea or a spoonful of hot tea? It makes sense that the more particles of a substance you have, then the more thermal energy the substance has. The cup of hot tea would have more thermal energy, even if the temperature of the tea is the same in the cup and in the spoon. But which cools down the quickest (has the highest rate of thermal energy transfer)—the tea in the cup or the tea in the spoon? If I have fewer particles of the same substance, then the rate of thermal energy transfer is faster. The tea in the spoon would lose thermal energy more rapidly. So the amount of a substance you have is one factor that affects the rate of thermal energy transfer.

7. Imagine you are pushing a 15 kg cart full of 25 kg of bottled water up a 10o ramp. If the coefficient of friction is 0.02, wh
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N

Explanation:

The frictional force can be obtained using the following formula:

F= \mu R

where \mu is the coefficient of friction = 0.02

R = Normal reaction of the load = mgcos\theta = 25 \times 9.81 \times cos 10 = 241.52N

Now that we have the necessary parameters that we can place into the equation, we can now go ahead and make our substitutions, to get the value of F.

F=0.02 \times 241.52N

F = 4.83 N

Hence, the frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N
