A boy can swim 3.0 meter a second in still water while trying to swim directly across a river from west to east, he is pulled by

Answer:

Angle: 48.19^o

Explanation:

<u>Two-Dimension Motion</u>

When the object is moving in one plane, the velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Apart from the magnitudes, we also need to find the direction, often expressed as an angle respect to some reference.

Our boy can swim at 3 m/s from west to east in still water and the river he's attempting to cross interacts with him at 2 m/s southwards. The boy will move east and south and will reach the other shore at a certain distance to the south from where he started. It happens because there is a vertical component of his velocity that is not compensated.

To compensate for the vertical component of the boy's speed, he only has to swim at a certain angle east of the north (respect to the shoreline). The goal is to make the boy's y component of his velocity equal to the velocity of the river. The vertical component of the boy's velocity is

v_b\ cos\alpha

where v_b is the speed of the boy in still water and \alpha is the angle respect to the shoreline. If the river flows at speed v_s, we now set

v_b\ cos\alpha=v_s

\displaystyle cos\alpha=\frac{v_s}{v_b}=\frac{2}{3}

\alpha=48.19^o

what is the force per meter on a straight wire carrying 5.0 a when it is placed in a magnetic field of 0.020 t
Dvinal [7]

The Force per meter on a straight wire carrying current in a magnetic field is<u>  0.045 N/m.</u>

<u>Calculation:-</u>

       F/ℓ = B I sin θ

  Where B – Magnetic field = 0.02 T I – Current = 5 A          

Substituting the values

F/ℓ = (0.02) (5) (sin 27 deg)

F/ℓ = <u>0.045 N/m</u>

A force is an influence that can alternate the motion of an item. A force can cause an item with mass to trade its pace, i.e., to boost up. force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A pressure has both value and course, making it a vector quantity.

The push or pull on an item with mass causes it to change its velocity. force is an external agent capable of converting a frame's nation of relaxation or motion. It has significance and a path. A force is a push or pulls among gadgets. it is called an interplay because if one object acts on some other, its movement is matched with the aid of a reaction from the alternative object.

Background information about reflection and refraction of light
KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

  • angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
  • Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
  • light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

  • light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
  • after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
  • angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction

Fellow student of mathematical bent tells you that the wave function of a traveling wave on a thin rope is y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[(
bezimeni [28]

Answer

given,

y(x,t)= 2.20 mm cos[( 7.02 rad/m )x+( 743 rad/s )t]

length of the rope = 1.33 m

mass of the rope = 3.31 g

comparing the given equation from the general wave equation

y(x,t)= A cos[k x+ω t]

A is amplitude

now on comparing

a) Amplitude  = 2.20 mm

b) frequency =

     f = \dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}

     f = \dfrac{743}{2\pi}

          f = 118.25 Hz

c) wavelength

        k= \dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

        \lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{k}

        \lambda= \dfrac{2\pi}{7.02}

        \lambda= 0.895\ m

d) speed

         v = \dfrac{\omega}{k}

         v = \dfrac{743}{7.02}

                v = 105.84 m/s

e) direction of the motion will be in negative x-direction

f) tension

  T = \dfrac{v^2\ m}{L}

  T = \dfrac{(105.84)^2\times 3.31 \times 10^{-3}}{1.33}

      T = 27.87 N

g) Power transmitted by the wave

  P = \dfrac{1}{2}m\ v \omega^2\ A^2

  P = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00331\times 105.84\times 743^2\ 0.0022^2

      P = 0.438 W
