The velocity of the current in a river is C = 0.6i + 0.8j km/hr. A boat moves relative to the water with velocity v=7i km/hr. a.

What is the speed of the boat relative to the riverbed? b. What angle does the velocity of the boat relative to the riverbed make with the vector v? c. What does the angle from part b tell us in practical terms?

Answer:

  a. 7.64 km/h

  b. 6.0°

  c. see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The total velocity of the boat is ...

  7i +(0.6i +0.8j) = 7.6i +0.8j

The magnitude of this velocity is the speed of the boat, relative to land. That is given by the Pythagorean theorem.

  |7.6i +0.8j| = √(7.6² +0.8²) = √58.4 ≈ 7.642 . . . . km/h

__

b) The angle of the total velocity with respect to the "i" direction (the direction of vector v) is ...

  α = arctan(0.8/7.6) ≈ 6.009°

__

c) The boat is headed in a direction 6° different from its velocity relative to the water. That may need to be accounted for if the boat is traveling any significant distance.

The dimensions of a closed rectangular box are measured as 90 centimeters, 50centimeters, and 90 centimeters, respectively, with
gogolik [260]

Answer:

184 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the rectangular box is expressed as S = 2(LW+LH+WH)

L is the length of the box = 90 cm

W is the width of the box = 50 cm

H is the height of the box= 90 cm

If there are error of at most 0.2 cm in each measurement, then the total surface area using differential estimate will be expressed as shown;

S = 2{(LdW+WdL) + (LdH+HdL) + (WdH+HdW)

Note that dL = dW = dH = 0.2 cm

Substituting the given values into the formula to estimate the maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box

S = 2{(90(0.2)+50(0.2)) + (90(0.2)+90(0.2)) + (50(0.2)+90(0.2))

S = 2{18+10+18+18+10+18}

S = 2(92)

S = 184 cm²

Hence, the maximum error in calculating the surface area of the box is 184cm²

MAX POINTS!!! Write and solve a system of equations. Be sure to label the variables. The difference of two numbers is two. Two t
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

  • 5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

<u>The equations are:</u>

  • x - y = 2
  • 2x + y = 13

<u>Add up the equations to eliminate y and solve for x:</u>

  • x - y + 2x + y = 2 + 13
  • 3x = 15
  • x = 15/3
  • x = 5

<u>Now find the value of y:</u>

  • y = x - 2
  • y = 5 - 2
  • y = 3

A circular garden is surrounded by a circular path of 7m width.If the area of path is 770m²,find the area of the garden without
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Answer:

Radius of the circular garden

= 210 sq

=105m

Radius of the region covering the garden and the path =105m+7m

=112m

Area of the region between two concentric circles

with radius of outer circle R, and inner circle r =π(R sq−r sq)

Hence, the area of the path

=π(112sq−105 sq)= 7/22

(12544−11025)

= 33418/7

=4774m sq
