E = 1/2*k*x^2 = 0.5*291*0.0289^2 = 0.12 J

Shareen finds that when she drives her motorboat upstream she can travelwith a speed of only 8 m/s, while she moves with a speed

ANEK [815]

Let vb be the velocity of the motorboat and let vs be the velocity of the stream.

We know that when she drives upstream the velocity is 8 m/s, in this scenario the velocities point in opposite directions, then we have the equations:

$v_b-v_s=8$

When she drives downstream the velocites point in the same direction then we have the equation:

$v_b+v_s=12$

hence we have the system of equations:

$\begin{gathered} v_b-v_s=8 \\ v_b+v_s=12 \end{gathered}$

Solving the first equation for the velocity of the boat we have:

$v_b=8+v_s$

Plugging this in the second equation we have:

$\begin{gathered} 8+v_s+v_s=12 \\ 2v_s=4 \\ v_s=\frac{4}{2} \\ v_s=2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the velocity of the stream is 2 m/s

Can someone help me?!!!!!

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

7 units, north

Explanation:

This is a problem of vector subtraction. We have:

- Vector A: magnitude 2 units, direction to the north

- Vector B: magnitude 5 units, direction to the south

If we take the north as positive direction, we can write

$A = +2\\B=-5$

Since we want to find $A-B$ (vector subtraction), we have to change the sign of B, so we find:

$A-B=+2-(-5))=+2+5=+7$

And the positive sign means the direction is north.
