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.

5. A man has a weight of 100 Newtons. How much work is done if he climbs 4 meters up a ladder? Plug numbers under the equation.
Virty [35]

Answer:

<h2>400 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question we have

workdone = 100 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>400 J</h3>

Consider two ideal gases, A &amp; B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. Ho
uysha [10]

Answer:

option (d)

Explanation:

The relation between the rms velocity and the molecular mass is given by

v   proportional to  \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} keeping the temperature constant

So for two gases

\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}

\frac{2v_{B}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}

{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}} = 4

{\frac{M_{B}}{4}} = M_{A}
