The Gulf Stream off the east coast of the United States can flow at a rapid 3.3 m/s to the north. A ship in this current has a c
1 answer:
Answer:
2.29 m/s
Explanation:
given,
Speed of the stream to north,x = 3.3 m/s
speed of the ship,z = 8 m/s
Speed of the stream is in north direction, to move the ship in west direction ship should move in south direction.
To solve this a right angle triangle is constructed.
where speed of the stream is base and speed of cruise is hypotenuse.
now, speed of ship with respect to ground
z² = x² + y²
y² = z² - x²
y² = 8² - 3.3²
y = 2.29 m/s
Hence, the speed of the ship with respect to ground is equal to 2.29 m/s.

Answer:
B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.
Explanation:
The force of friction is given by
where is the coefficient of friction and
is the normal force.
When the student pulls on the block with force at an angle
, the normal force on the block becomes
and hence the frictional force becomes
.
Now, as we increase ,
increases which as a result decreases the normal force
, which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.
<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em><em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>
