A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

part (a) v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

  • velocity of the river due to east = v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.
  • velocity of the boat due to the north = v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are 90^o

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.

Let \theta be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o

part (b)

  • Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river.\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the
ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =7.3m/S

A = g=acceleration =9.81m/s^2

X = displacement =51m}

solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2gX}\\Vf=\sqrt{7.3^2+2(9.81)(51)}=32.46m/s

the speed with the ball hits the ground is 32.46m/s

Copper is a metal commonly used for electrical wiring in houses. Which metal conducts electricity better than copper at 20°C?
jek_recluse [69]
The correct answer is silver metal.
Conductivity measures the ability of a material or a metal to transmit energy, conductivity may be electrical, thermal or acoustical conductivity. The most electrical conductive element is silver, followed by copper and Gold. Silver also has the highest thermal conductivity as compare to any element. However, copper and Gold are more often used in electrical applications since copper is less expensive and gold has a much higher corrosion resistance.
