a boat is headed with a velocity of 18 meters/second toward the west with respect to the water in a river. if the river is flowi

ng with a velocity of 2.5 meters/second in the same direction as the boat. what would be the magnitude of the boat’s velocity?

Both the boat and swimmer are going in the same direction, west.
The net velocity the boat is traveling is then:
18 m/s + 2.5 m/s = 20.5 m/s

The magnitude is the hypotenuse of the components but there is only an x component so magnitude = 20.5 m/s

Answer: Hi!

You know that the boat has a velocity of 18m/s with respect to the water, and the water has a velocity of 2.5m/s.

Both velocities are in the same direction.

Now, if you are standing in the shore, you have a velocity of 0m/h, then you will see the boat moving with his velocity with respect to the water plus the velocity of the water:

this is V = 18 m/s + 2.5m/s = 20.5m/s

Where the addition is direct because both vectors are in the same direction.

Which wave characteristics is defined as the number of cycles of a periodic wave occurring per unit time?
Assoli18 [71]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Frequency

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Waves are disturbances that travel through a material medium. There are several characteristics of waves, which includes; wavelength, frequency, period and amplitude. </u></em>
  • Amplitude is the maximum displacement of wave particles, or simply the height of the wave, measured in meters.
  • Wavelength is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a transverse wave or between two successive rarefaction or compressions in a longitudinal wave, measured in meters.
  • Period is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
  • <em><u>Frequency is the number of complete waves or cycles that pass a point in one second, measured is inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz).</u></em>

On a cloudless day, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the earth has an intensity of about W/m². What is the electromagnet
Otrada [13]

Answer:

1.907 x 10⁻⁵ J.

Explanation:

Given,

Volume of space, V = 5.20 m³

Assuming the intensity of sunlight(S) be equal to 1.1 x 10³ W/m².

Electromagnetic energy = ?

E = \mu V

E = (\dfrac{S}{c})\times V

where c is the speed of light.

E = (\dfrac{1.1\times 10^3}{3\times 10^8})\times 5.20

E = 1.907\times 10^{-5}\ J

Hence, Electromagnetic energy is equal to 1.907 x 10⁻⁵ J.

The Sun has a mass of 1.99x10^30 kg and a radius of 6.96x10^8 m. Calculate the acceleration due to gravity, in meters per second
just olya [345]

Answer:

g=274\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of the Sun, M=1.99\times 10^{30}\ kg

The radius of the Sun, r=6.96\times 10^8\ m

We need to find the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Sun. It is given by the formula as follows :

g=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\\g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.99\times 10^{30}}{(6.96\times 10^8)^2}\\\\g=274\ m/s^2

So, the value of acceleration due to gravity on the Sun is 274\ m/s^2.

The inner conductor of a coaxial cable has a radius of 0.800 mm, and the outer conductor’s inside radius is 3.00 mm. The space b
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The maximum potential difference is 186.02 x 10¹⁵ V

Explanation:

formula for calculating maximum potential difference

V = \frac{2K_e \lambda}{k}ln(\frac{b}{a})

where;

Ke is coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²

k is the dielectric constant = 2.3

b is the outer radius of the conductor = 3 mm

a is the inner radius of the conductor = 0.8 mm

λ is the linear charge density = 18 x 10⁶ V/m

Substitute in these values in the above equation;

V = \frac{2K_e \lambda}{k}ln(\frac{b}{a}) =  \frac{2*8.99*10^9*18*10^6 }{2.3}ln(\frac{3}{0.8}) =140.71 *10^{15} *1.322 \\\\V= 186.02 *10^{15} \ V

Therefore, the maximum potential difference this cable can withstand is 186.02 x 10¹⁵ V
