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 person is just as likely to become dehydrated in the cold as in the heat. Please select the best answer from the choices provi
alexdok [17]
The answer would be A) TRUE because we as humans can be dehydrated easily just by working out in sun or working out in the cold winter, that's how our body burns fat and calories, but it also burns our eyes since sweat has salt in it, and dehydrated means to run out of water for us, like not enough water, but yes to the answer its T.

Rasek [7]
The statement "<span>The maximum intensity increases, and the peak wavelength decreases."</span> is true regarding how black body radiation changes as the temperature of the radiating object increases. Temperature is directly proportional to intensity but inversely proportional to the wavelength.
