Explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity in East, v_1=4\ m/s

Velocity in North, v_2=3\ m/s

(a) The resultant velocity is given by :

v=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=5\ m/s

(b) The width of the river is, d = 80 m

Let t is the time taken by the boat to travel shore to shore. So,

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{80\ m}{5\ m/s}

t = 16 seconds

(c) Let x is the distance covered by the boat to reach the opposite shore. So,

x=v_2\times t

x=3\ m/s\times 16\ s

x = 48 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

1.      A rocket is forced forward by the ______ force of its engines, expelling gases out the rear of the rocket.​
AURORKA [14]

There are two forces acting on a rocket at the moment of lift off: Thrust pushes the rocket upwards by pushing gases downwards in the opposite direction.Weight is the force due to gravity pulling the rocket downwards towards the centre of the earth.So I'm thinking the answer is THRUST.

What is the impulse of a 2 kg object that starts at 10 m/s and comes to a stop over 0.4 seconds?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: Impulse = 20 Ns

Explanation:

Impulse is the product of force and time

Also impulse = momentum

Where momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Given that

M = 2kg

V = 10 m/s

Impulse = MV = 2 × 10 = 20 Ns

The direction of deflection of an electron beam in a magnetic field can be determined by which of the following?
amid [387]

Answer:

Right Hand Rule

Explanation:

When a charged particle travels in a magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude is given by:

F=qvBsin\theta

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field strength

\theta is the angle between the directions of v and B

The direction of the force can be determined by using the Right Hand Rule, as follows:

- index finger: this should be put in the direction of the velocity

- middle finger: this should be put in the direction of the magnetic field

- thumb: this will give the direction of the force -> however, for a negative charge (as the electron) the direction must be reversed, so it will be opposite.
