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

This would be Newton's first law, which states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Hope this helped.

a 550 kg car accelerates from 15 m/s to 25 m/s in 15 s by applying a constant force. how large of a force is exerted? Please sho
Novay_Z [31]
You'll be using the equation f = m a, or force = mass x acceleration

First, you have to find the acceleration. The acceleration needed is the average acceleration over the 15 seconds is accelerated. So, you take the change in speed (25m/s - 15m/s) to get a change of 10m/s. 
The average acceleration (acceleration per second) is found by dividing total acceleration by the time it took. So, it's 10 / 15, which equals .6. This is a, your acceleration
Now just plug it into the equation F = m a, because it already gives you the mass of the car
F = 550 x .6
Solve that to get F = 366.6. F is measured in Newtons (N), so your answer is 366.6N

how much centripetal force is needed to make a body of mass 0.5 kg to move in a circle of radius 50 cm with a speed 3ms-1
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

9 N

Explanation:

The centripetal force F is F = mrω^2 = (mv^2)/r where m is mass, r is radius of the curve, ω is angular velocity and v is tangential velocity.

In this case, m = 0.5kg, r = 0.5m, v = 3m/s

So F = [0.5kg(3m/s)^2]/0.5m = 9kg-m/s^2 which is 9N
