A child is in danger of drowning in the Merimac river. The Merimac river has a current of 3.1 km/hr to the east. The child is 0.

6 km from the shore and 2.5 km upstream from the dock. A rescue boat with speed 24.8 km/hr (with respect to the water) sets off from the dock at the optimum angle to reach the child as fast as possible. How far from the dock does the boat reach the child?

In a problem where a child is danger form drowning from a river who has a current of 3.1km/hr to east and the child is 0.6km fro the shore and the upstream is 2,5km from the dock. So base on the question the boat with a speed of 24.8 km/hr is 1.9 km because the child is 0.6 km off the dock so 2.5 minus 0.6

How much power is needed to lift the 200-N object to a height of 4 m in 4 s?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: 2000 watts

Explanation:

Given that,

power = ?

Weight of object = 200-N

height = 4 m

Time = 4 s

Power is the rate of work done per unit time i.e Power is simply obtained by dividing work by time. Its unit is watts.

i.e Power = work / time

(since work = force x distance, and weight is the force acting on the object due to gravity)

Then, Power = (weight x distance) / time

Power = (200N x 4m) / 4s

Power = 8000Nm / 4s

Power = 2000 watts

Thus, 2000 watts of power is needed to lift the object.

g At some point the road makes a right turn with a radius of 117 m. If the posted speed limit along this part of the highway is
user100 [1]

Answer:

Ф = 28.9°

Explanation:

given:

radius (r) = 117m

velocity (v) = 25.1 m/s

required: angle Ф

Ф = inv tan (v² / (r * g))      we know that g = 9.8

Ф = inv tan (25.1² / (117 * 9.8))

Ф = 28.9°

the mass of a large car is 1000 kg. how much force would be required to accelerate the car at a rate of 3 m/sec²​
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

3000  N

Explanation:

<em>Newton's second law of motion</em> describes the relationship between an object's mass and the amount of force needed to accelerate it.  

This law can be expresses as F=ma,

where  

  • F -  force acting on an object
  • m-  the mass of an object  
  • a -  its acceleration

The more mass an object has, the more force you need to accelerate it. And the greater the force, the greater the object's acceleration.

<em>F = ma</em>

<em>F = 1000×3 </em>

<em>   = 3000  N</em>
