Consider a boat heading due east at 15 miles/hour. The water's current is moving at 7.1 miles/hour at 45º south of east. Drag ve

ctors for the boat and the current into the vector addition simulation.
What do Rx, Ry, , and |R| represent in terms of the force of the current, and what do they represent in terms of the forces moving the boat?

If a boat is going East at 15mph and there is a water current going southeast at 45° then the boat is being drifted southward.  So since the current is going at an angle then it has a x and y component.  So Rx refers to the x-component force of the current and Ry refers to the y-component of the current, and |R| refers to the magnitude of these forces.

Answer:

The boat velocity is 20.6 mph and  14 south of east

Explanation:

For this exercise it is best to write the speeds based on its components x and y

Boat    V1x = 15 mph

Water  V2 = 7.1 mph

           θ = - 45º

 Where the angle is measured from the x axis, the negative indicates that it is measured on an hourly basis

           V2x = V2 cos (-45) = 7.1 (0.707)

           V2y = V2 sin (-45) = 7.1 (-0.707)

           V2x = 5.0 mph

           V2y = -5.0 mph

The total system speed is the sum of each component

          Vx = V1x + V2x

          Vy = V1y + V2y

          Vx = 15 + 5.0

          Vy = 0 -5

          Vx = 20 mph

          Vy = -5.0 mph

We can give result in the form of magnitude and angle

          V² = Vx² + Vy²

          θ = tan-1 (Vy / Vx)

          V = √ [20² ++ (-5)²]

          θ = tan-1 (-5/20)

         

         V = 20.6 mph

         θ = -14º

 The boat velocity is 20.6 mph and  14 south of east

In a level parking lot, a man with a mass of 100 kg gives a shove to a boy with a mass of 50 kg who is on roller skates. The boy
natita [175]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that whenever an object exerts a force on a second object, it exerts a force of equal magnitude and direction but in the opposite direction on the first. It is often stated as follows: Each action always opposes an equal but opposite reaction.

The subject 1 of 100kg is making a force F, to move an object from 50Kg to 2m / s ^ 2. This Force the object of 50Kg will reflect it in the opposite direction by Newton's third law.

Once the parameter of the force that both are experiencing is clarified, Newton's second law is applied to their respective calculation.

F = ma = 50kg * 2m / s ^ 2 = 100N

That is the force the boy exert on the man during the shove.

What is a cyclotron??<br> What is cyclotron frequency?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

A cyclotron is a type of particle accelerator.

Explanation:

Cyclotron frequency is the frequency of a charged particle moving perpendicular to the direction of a uniform magnetic field B, since that motion is always circular, the cyclotron frequency is given by equality of centripetal force and magnetic Lorentz force.

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

A car sitting at a red light begins to accelerate at 2 m/s2 when the light turns green. It continues with this acceleration unti
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

    x_total = 600 m

Explanation:

This is an exercise and kinematics, let's find the time it takes to reach the velocity  20 m / s

          v = v₀ + a t

           

as part of rest v₀ = 0

          t = v / a

          t = 20/2

          t = 10 s

let's find the distance traveled in this time

          x₁ = vo t + ½ a t2

          x₁ = 0 + ½ 2 10²

          x₁ = 100 m

The remaining time is

          t₂ = 35 - t

          t₂ = 35 - 10

          t₂ = 25 s

as in this range it has a constant speed

          v = x₂ / t₂

          x₂ = v t₂

          x₂ = 20  25

          x₂ = 500 m

the total distance traveled is

           x_total = x₁ + x₂

           x_total = 100 + 500

           x_total = 600 m

Ezekiel pushes a 34 kg sled with 101 N for 8.0 m. How much work did he do on the sled?
Simora [160]

Answer: 810 J

Explanation: work W = F·s = 101 N · 8.0 m = 808 J

Force F = u mg = 101 N in which u is friction constant. Also mass is included in force.
