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

A wire is carrying current vertically downward. What is the direction of the force due to Earth's magnetic field on the wire?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: The correct option is A ( horizontally towards the east)

Explanation:

Magnetic field is a region around a magnet or a current- carrying conductor, where a magnetic force is experienced. The magnetic effect of electric current was first discovered in the early 1820 by Oersted. Using a wire that had current flowing through it and a pivoted magnetic needle, he discovered that the direction of deflection depended on the direction of the current and whether the wire was above or below the needle.

From the way the needle turns when current when current carrying wire is held parallel to it, he therefore concluded that:

--> a current has magnetic field all round it,

--> the magnetic field is in a direction perpendicular to the current.

The above discovery was now modified in Fleming's left hand rule which states that when conductor carrying current is placed in a magnetic field, the conductor will experience a force perpendicular to both the field and the flow of current.

Therefore from the question, a vertical wire carrying current in DOWNWARD direction is placed in a HORIZONTAL magnetic field directed to the NORTH. The direction of the force on the wire is to the EAST.

Answer:

49 kg is the mass of the couch.

Explanation:

GPE = mgh

9800 = m * 10 * 20

9800 = 200m

m = (9800/20) = 49 m
