A child in danger of drowning in a river is being carried downstream by a current that flows due south uniformly with a speed of

3 km/hr. the child is 0.5 km from the shore and 2 km north (i.e., upstream) of a boat landing when a rescue boat sets out.a) if the boat proceeds at its maximum speed of 24 km/hr with respect to the water, what angle relative to north should the pilot point the bow of the boat in order to reach the child in the minimum amount of time? please enter your answer in degrees.angle james walker

Let the rescue boat starts at an angle theta with the North

now its velocity towards East is given as

v_x = 24sin\theta

v_y = -24cos\theta + 3

now in some time "t" it will catch the boy

so we will have

t = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}

also we have

t = \frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3}

now we have

\frac{2}{-24cos\theta + 3} = \frac{0.5}{24sin\theta}

4*24sin\theta = - 24cos\theta + 3

96 sin\theta + 24cos\theta = 3

by solving above we got

\theta = 164 degree

A mass of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s when it collides with another mass of 2 kg moving in the same direction at 2 m/s. After the co
Paul [167]

Answer:

4.14 m/s

Explanation:

m¹u¹+m²u²=(m¹+m²)v

5(5)+2(2)=(5+2)v

25+4=7v

29=7v

29/7=v

v=4.14 m/s

jeremie ran around the track at the ymca for 2 hours. when he was done he figured that he had traveled 20 kilometers. what was h
laila [671]
(1) Speed is the ratio of the total distance covered by the object and the total time it takes for him to finish it. 

    Speed = distance / time 

In this item, we are given that the distance is 20 kilometers and that the time it takes for the trip is 2 hours. Substituting the known values,
   Speed = 20 kilometers / 2 hours 
    speed = 20 km/h

(2) Velocity on the other hand takes into account the displacement of the object from his original position. It is assumed that Jeremie was basically back to his original position after two hours. Hence, the velocity is equal to zero.
