Jada is rowing a boat across a river that has a current of 5 m/s in the ˆ j direction. Leanne, standing on the shore, observes J

olchik [2.2K]

Answer: d. 8.25 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that Current= 5 m/s in j direction

Velocity= 8 m/s i + 3 m/s j

Now, we have to find Jada's speed with respect to the water.

First we find Jada's velocity with respect to water

v= (8 i + 3 j) - (5 j)

v= 8i - 2 j

To find the speed, we take the magnitude of this velocity vector we have

|v|= $\sqrt{(8)^2+(-2)^2}$

|v|= $\sqrt{68}$ = 8.246 m/s

which comes out to be around = 8.25 m/s

So option d is correct.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds. Starting downstream, 3.18 m away from a waterfall 0.294 m in heigh

Karolina [17]

Answer:

v = 7.65 m/s

t = 0.5882 s

Explanation:

We are told that the salmon started downstream, 3.18 m away from a waterfall.

Thus, range = 3.18 m

Since the horizontal velocity component is constant, then;

Range = vcosθ × t

Thus,

vcosθ × t = 3.18 - - - (eq 1)

We are told the salmon reached a height of 0.294 m

Thus, using distance equation;

s = v_y•t + ½gt²

g will be negative since motion is against gravity.

s = v_y•t - ½gt²

Thus;

0.294 = v_y•t - ½gt²

v_y = vsinθ

Thus;

0.294 = vtsinθ - ½gt² - - - (eq 2)

From eq(1), making v the subject, we have;

v = 3.18/tcosθ

Plugging into eq 2,we have;

0.294 = (3.18/tcosθ)tsinθ - ½gt²

0.295 = 3.18tanθ - ½gt²

We are given g = 9.81 m/s² and θ = 45°

0.295 = (3.18 × tan 45) - ½(9.81) × t²

0.295 = 3.18 - 4.905t²

3.18 - 0.295 = 4.905t²

4.905t² = 2.885

t = √2.885/4.905

t = 0.5882 s

Thus;

v = 3.18/(0.5882 × cos45)

v = 7.65 m/s
