The answer is : B. The compass will spin exactly 360 Degrees

Compass will point out to the earth's magnetic field. If we change the direction of the current , we created an effect which make the compass detect the magnetic field in the exact opposite direction, that is why it will flip exactly 180 degrees

Sammy squirrel is steering his boat at a heading of 327 degree at 18mph. The current is flowing at 4mph at a heading of 60 degre

Tanya [424]

Answer:

59.97 º at 18.23 mph

Explanation:

To find Sammy's course you have to add the two velocities (vectors), 18 mph 327º and 4 mph 60º.

To add the two vectors analytically you decompose each vector into their vertical and horizontal components.

1. 18 mph 327º

Horizontal component: 18 mph × cos (327º) = 15.10 mph

Vertical component: 18 mph × sin (327º) = - 9.80 mph

Vector notation:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j$

2. 4 mph 60º

Horizontal component: 4 mph × cos (60º) = 2.00 mph

Vertical component: 4 mph × sin (60º) = 3.46 mph

Vector notation:

$2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j$

3. Addition:

You add the corresponding components:

$15.10\hat i-9.80\hat j+2.00\hat i+3.46\hat j\\ \\ 17.10\hat i-6.34\hat j$

To find the magnitude use Pythagorean theorem:

$\sqrt{17.1^2+6.34^2}= 18.23$

4. Direction:

Use the tangent ratio:

$tan(\alpha )=opposite/adjacent=3.46/2.00=1.73$

Find the inverse:

arctan (1.73) ≈ 59.97º
