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.

A car moves round a circular track of radius 0.3m of two revolution per/sec find its angular velocity.
Pie

Answer:

the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular track, r = 0.3 m

number of revolutions  per second made by the car, ω = 2 rev/s

The angular velocity of the car in radian per second is calculated as;

From the given data, we convert the angular velocity in revolution per second to radian per second.

\omega = 2 \ \frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = 4\pi \ rad/s = 12.568 \ rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.

A curve in a stretch of highway has radius R. The road is not banked in any way. The coefficient of static friction between the
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

maximum possible velocity = \sqrt{ugR}

Explanation:

centripetal acceleration when the  car is going in the circle must be less than the maximum friction for the car to not slip.

centripetal acceleration \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

where v is the velocity of car and r is the radius of circle

maximum friction = umg

where u is the coefficient of static friction.

thereforeumg\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{R}

therefore maximum possible velocity = \sqrt{ugR}
