Luke is swimming in a river with a current flowing west to east at a constant speed of 3.5 meters/second. Assume that Luke's wat

er speed is a constant 5 meters/second. If he tries to swim 60° east of north, his resultant speed is 2.63 6.58 7.40 8.22 8.52 meters/second and his direction angle is 17.70 35.82 71.63 103.01 144.18 °.

Decompose each velocity in its i and j - coordinates.


1) River's velocity


3.5 m/s, west fo east = 3.5i + 0j


2) Luke's velocity

5m/s, 60° east of north

5* sin(60°) i + 5*cos(60°) j = 4.33 i + 2.5 j


3) Resultant velocity

[3.5i + 0j] + [4.33i + 2.5j] = 7.83i + 2.5j


resultant speed = √[ (7.83)^2 + (2.5)^2 ] = 8.22 m/s


angle = arctan(2.5 / 7.83) = 17.7° north of east (equal to 72.3° east of north).

Answer:

<h2>The resultant speed is 8.22 m/s.</h2><h2>The direction angle is 17.74°, or just 17.7°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have to operate vector, specifically we have to sum and find rectangular components. Remember that vectors are compound by rectangular components, one horizontal (x) and one vertical (y). So, when we sum or subtract vector, we can do it between similar coordinates, that means we can't sum horizontal with vertical coordinates.

So, in the first movement, we have to sum to horizontal vector, they don't have vertical component because the problem says that Luke is traveling from East to West, without an angle of direction.

Current's speed: (3.5i)m/s

Notice that the river only has horizontal component.

Then, we have to calculate the components of the vector in the second movement, because it has a different direction of 60°. To calculate components we use:

For vertical component: v_{y}=v.sen\alpha

For horizontal component: v_{x}=v.cos\alpha

In this case, v=5;\alpha =60\°

So, v_{x}=5.sen60=4.33i and v_{y}=5.cos60=2.5j

Then, to calculate the total speed, we just sum like terms, horizontal with horizontal and vertical with vertical:

V=(3.5+4.33)i+(0+2.5)j\\V=7.83i+2.5j

Now, to calculate the module of this velocity we use:

|V|=\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\sqrt{(7.83)^{2}+(2.5)^{2}  } \\|V|=\sqrt{61.31+6.25} =8.22

To calculate the direction we use: \alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})

\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{2.5}{7.83})\\\alpha=tan^{-1} (0.32)=17.74\°

<em>Therefore, The resultant speed is 8.22 m/s. And, the direction angle is 17.74°, or just 17.7°</em>

Answer:

x = \sqrt{1}

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 6 )^2 = 49

get rid of the square , by square rooting the 49

x + 6 = \sqrt{49}

x = \sqrt{49} -6

x = \sqrt{1}

\sqrt{49} means + or - hence it could be -7 -6 = -1 ... or  7-6 = 1

therefore the answer is = or -  1

hence in terms of roots .. answer is :

\sqrt{1}

A rental car company charges $53.75 per day to rent a car and $0.12 for every mile driven. Jaya wants to rent a car, knowing tha
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Jaya can afford to rent a car 4 days while staying within her budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality would have to indicate that the cost of renting a car has to be less than or equal to $230. The cost to rent a car is equal to the cost per day for the number of days plus the price per mile for the number of miles, which is:

53.75x+0.12y≤230, where:

x is the number of days the car is rented

y is the number of miles driven

As the statement says that she plans to drive 125 miles, you can replace "y" with this value and solve for x:

53.75x+0.12(125)≤230

53.75x+15≤230

53.75x≤230-15

53.75x≤215

x≤215/53.75

x≤4

According to this, the answer is that Jaya can afford to rent a car 4 days while staying within her budget.
