A boat leaves the dock at t = 0.00 s and, starting from rest, maintains a constant acceleration of (0.461 m/s2)i relative to the

water. Due to currents, however, the water itself is moving with a velocity of (0.485 m/s)i + (2.16 m/s)j. How fast is the boat moving, in m/s, at t = 4.82 s? How far, in meters, is the boat from the dock at t = 4.82 s?

Answer:

At t=4.82 s, the boat is moving at 3.464 m/s.

At t=4.82 s, the boat is 13.112 m from the dock.

Explanation:

The speed of the boat in j'th direction remains constant for all times (vj=2.16 m/s), however, the speed in i'th direction is changing due to the constant acceleration (0.461 m/s^2)i.

In order to find the velocity of the boat a t=4.82 s, first we need to compute the velocity of the boat relative to the water in the i direction (vi_b) at t=4.82 s:

vi_b = a*t = (0.461 m/s^2)*(4.82 s) = 2.222 m/s

Now, we add this velocity to the velocity of the water in the i direction:

vi = vi_b + vi_w = 2.222 m/s + 0.486 m/s = 2.708 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the boat at t = 4.82 s is: v = (vi, vj) = (2.708, 2.16) m/s. Finally, to find its speed, we just calculate the magnitude of v and obtain that the speed is: 3.464 m/s.

For the second question, first we will find the distance that the boat moved in the i'th direction and then in the j'th direction.

The speed in the i'th direction, for all times, is given by:

(0.485 + 0.461*t) and in order to find the distance advanced in the i'th direction (di) during 4.82 s, we need to integrate this velocity:

di = 0.485*t + (0.461*t^2)/2 (evaluated from t=0 to t =4.82) = 0.485*(4.82) + (0.461*(4.82)^2)/2 = 2.337 + 5.634 = 7.971 m

The speed in j'th direction, for all times, is given by:

2.16 and in order to find the distance advanced in the j'th direction (dj) during 4.82 s, we need to integrate this velocity:

dj = 2.16*t (evaluated from t=0 to t =4.82) = (2.16)*(4.82) = 10.411 m

Using Pythagoras' Theorem, we find that the the boat is at 13.112 m from the dock at t = 4.82 s.

Three forces act on an object. If the object is in translational equilibrium, which of the following must be true? I. The vector
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Option I

Explanation:

When ever the system is in equilibrium, it means the net force on the system is zero.

If the number of forces acting on a system and then net force on the system is zero, it only shows that the vector sum of all the forces is zero.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given that;

final velocity v = 0

initial velocity u = 15m/s

time taken t = 4 s

acceleration  a = ?

from the equation of motion        

v   =   u   +   at

we substitute

0 = 15 + a × 4

acceleration a = -15/4 =  - 3.75 m/s²    

the negative sign tells us that its a  deacceleration so the sign can be ignored.

Deacceleration due to friction a = μ × g

we substitute

3.75 = μ × 9.8    

μ = 3.75 / 9.8 = 0.3826 ≈ 0.38

Therefore the coefficient of Kinetic friction between the tires and road is 0.38

Option A) .38 is the correct answer
