Answer: 87 min

Explanation:

The speed of the boat $S_{boat}$ will be its speed relative to the river $S_{boat-river}$ plus the the speed of the river $S_{river}$ :

$S_{boat}=S_{boat-river}+S_{river}$ (1)

$S_{boat}=1.20 km/h+0.384 km/h$ (2)

$S_{boat}=1.584 \frac{km}{h}$ (3)

On the other hand, the speed of the boat is given by a relation between its traveled distance $d$ and the time $t$ :

$S_{boat}=\frac{d}{t}$ (4)

Isolating $t$ and knowing $d=2.29 km$ :

$t=\frac{d}{S_{boat}}$ (5)

$t=\frac{2.29 km}{1.584 \frac{km}{h}}$ (6)

$t=1.445 h \frac{60min}{1 h}=86.74 min \approx 87 min$ (7)

Hence the time in minutes is 87 min.

A vector has a magnitude of 46.0 m and points in a direction 20.0° below the positive x-axis. A second vector, , has a magnitude

irina1246 [14]

Answer with Step-by -step explanation:

We are given that

b. $\mid A\mid=46 m$

$\theta=20^{\circ}$ below the positive x-axis

Therefore, the angle made by vector A in counter clockwise direction when measure from positive x-axis= $x=360-20=340^{\circ}$

x-component of vector A= $A_x=\mid A\mid cosx=46cos 340=46\times 0.94=43.24$

y-Component of vector A= $A_y=\mid A\mid sinx=46sin340=46(-0.34)=-15.64$

Magnitude of vector B=86 m

The vector B makes angle with positive x- axis= $x'=42^{\circ}$

x-component of vector B= $B_x=86cos42=63.64$

y-Component of vector B= $B_y=86sin42=57.62$

Vector A= $A_xi+A_yj=43.24i-15.64j$

Vector B= $B_xi+B_yj=63.64i+57.62j$

Vector C=A+B

Substitute the values

$C=43.24i-15.64j+63.64i+57.62j$

$C=106.88i+41.98j$

c.Direction= $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{41.98}{106.88})=21.5^{\circ}$

The direction of the vector C=21.5 degree

Indicate whether the statement is true or false. A force can be simply defined as a push or a pull.

Sidana [21]

This B: False, because the definition is lacking.

Force is when two objects interact with one another causing it to either move or not move. In our daily lives there are a lot of times force is exerted upon us, rather force is everywhere and here are the evidences:

*Pushing a cart
*Pushing a wall
*Hitting a baseball bat
*Apple falling down from a tree.
*Balls hitting one another
*A swinging pendulum
*Throwing a paper with stone above it
*Breaking of glass in the floor
*Falling of leaves on the grass <span> </span>
