A boat crossing a 153.0 m wide river is directed so that it will cross the river as quickly as possible. The boat has a speed of

5.70 m/s in still water and the river flows uniformly at 4.90 m/s. Calculate the total distance the boat will travel to reach the opposite shore.

Answer:

201.76266192 m

Explanation:

Distance traveled in the horizontal direction = 153 m

In the vertical direction the distance traveled

\dfrac{4.9\times 153}{5.7}=131.526315789\ m

Total distance from pythagoras theorem

d=\sqrt{153^2+(\dfrac{4.9\times 153}{5.7})^2}\\\Rightarrow d=201.76266192\ m

The total distance the boat will travel to reach the opposite shore is 201.76266192 m

Which statements describe velocity and acceleration? Check all that apply.
Tom [10]

Velocity is defined by rate of change in the position

which we can also write as

v = \frac{ds}{dt}

while acceleration is defined as rate of change in velocity

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

so acceleration and velocity both are rate of change in position and rate of change in velocity with respect to time respectively

out of all above statement the correct answer must be

<u>Acceleration equals change in velocity divided by time. </u>

The gravitational force between two asteroids is 6. 2 × 108 N. Asteroid Y has three times the mass of asteroid Z. If the distanc
Sliva [168]

Answer:Let m =  mass of asteroid y.Because asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z, the mass of asteroid z is m/3.Given:F = 6.2x10⁸ Nd = 2100 km = 2.1x10⁶ mNote thatG = 6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²)The gravitational force between the asteroids isF = (G*m*(m/3))/d² = (Gm²)/(3d²)orm² = (3Fd²)/G     = [(3*(6.2x10⁸ N)*(2.1x10⁶ m)²]/(6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))    = 1.229x10³² kg²m = 1.1086x10¹⁶ kg = 1.1x10¹⁶ kg (approx)Answer: 1.1x10¹⁶ kg
