A boat is moving due east at 15 miles per hour when it encounters a current LaTeX: \textbf{C} = 2\textbf{i}+17\textbf{j}C = 2 i

+ 17 j. What is the path of the boat in this current if the boater keeps it pointed due east? What direction should the boater steer in order to go due east?

Answer:

a) \vec v_{B} - \vec v_{C} = 3\, i - 17\,j, b) \theta = 79.992^{\textdegree} (clockwise)

Step-by-step explanation:

The resultant velocity of the boat must be:

\vec v_{B} = 15\,i

Likewise, the velocity of the current is:

\vec v_{C} = 2\,i + 17\,j

a) The intended velocity of the boat is:

\vec v_{B} - \vec v_{C} = (15-2)\,i  + (0-17)\,j

\vec v_{B} - \vec v_{C} = 3\, i - 17\,j

b) The direction of the boat is:

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{17}{3} \right) (clockwise)

\theta = 79.992^{\textdegree} (clockwise)

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

20/3  ounces of water is added.

Step-by-step explanation:

how many ounces of pure water should be added to 20 ounces of 40% solution of muriatic acid to obtain a 30% solution of muriatic acid?

--------------

The acid is 40% of 20 ounces = 8 ounces.

0.4*20 = 8

----------

 

That same 8 ounces is to be 30%. The water will be the other 70%.

8/30 = x/100

30x = 800

x = 80/3, the total amount of the solution.

We started with 20, so 80/3 - 20 = 20/3

20/3 ounces of water is added.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

4 times large

Step-by-step explanation:

say x is 2 the it would be 2 times 2 for cube a and that would be 4

and if x was 2 the it would be 2 times 2 for the side length ant that would be 4

and 4 times 4 is 16

16 is 4 times larger then 4
