At noon, ship A is 50 nautical miles due west of ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 22 knots and ship B is sailing north at 23 kn

ots. How fast (in knots) is the distance between the ships changing at 3 PM? (Note: 1 knot is a speed of 1 nautical mile per hour.)

Answer:

30.66 knots

Explanation:

Distance of ship A from B at noon = 50 NM

\frac{da}{dt} = Velocity of ship A = 22 knots = 22 NM/h

\frac{db}{dt} = Velocity of ship B = 23 knots = 23 NM/h

Distance travelled by ship A from noon to 3 PM = 22×3 = 66 NM

a = Total distance travelled by ship A = 50+66 = 116 NM

b = Total distance travelled by ship B till 3 PM = 23×3 = 69 NM

c = Distance between Ship A and B at 3 PM = √(116²+69²) = 134.97 NM

a²+b² = c²            (Pythagoras theorem)

Now differentiating with respect to time

2a\frac{da}{dt}+2b\frac{db}{dt}=2c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow a\frac{da}{dt}+b\frac{db}{dt}=c\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{116\times 22+69\times 23}{134.97}=\frac{dc}{dt}\\\Rightarrow \frac{dc}{dt}=30.66\ NM/h

∴ The velocity with which the distance is changing at 3 PM (3 hours later) is 30.66 knots

A 45.0 kg ice skater needs a 25 N horizontal force to get moving on a smooth ice surface. What is the coefficient of friction be
SVEN [57.7K]
The horizontal force : f = k*N
k- coefficient of friction
k = f /N
N = m * g = 45 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 441.45 N
k = 25 N : 441.45 N = 0.057

What is the acceleration of a softball if it hits the ground with a force 0.50 kg and hits the catchers glove with a force of 25
Rom4ik [11]

Acceleration of the ball is 50 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of the ball can be found by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

F=ma

where

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the ball in this problem, we have

m = 0.50 kg (mass)

F = 25 N (force)

thereofre, the acceleration of the ball is

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{25}{0.50}=50 m/s^2

Question 10 of 34

Julia walks from the park, which is six blocks east of her house, to the store, which is three blocks east of her house. Julia walks for 5 minutes. This walk's average speed will be 1.2 blocks per minute. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. Distance is the horizontal length covered by the body. While displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.

Displacement is a vector quantity .its unit is m.

The average velocity on this walk will be;

\rm v_{avg}= \frac{d}{t} \\\\ \rm v_{avg}= \frac{6 \ block+ 3 \ block }{5 \ minute } \\\\ v_{avg}=1.4  \ block /min

Hence option B is correct.
