As per the question the mass of the boy is 50 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Hence the weight of the boy $w = mg$ [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 50 kg.

Hence w = 50 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

=490 N kg m/s^2

= 490 N

Here newton [N] is the unit of force.

vA 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

ikadub [295]

Answer:

$d = 2.26 km$

Explanation:

Let the child is moving with speed same as the speed of water flow

So here the position of child with respect to flow must be zero

And if the boat start at an angle with the vertical

so its relative speed with flow of water is given as

$v_x = 24.8 sin\theta$

$v_y = 24.8 cos\theta$

now the time to reach the child is given as

$\frac{0.6}{24.8 cos\theta} = \frac{2.5}{24.8 sin\theta }$

so now we have

$\theta = 76.5 degree$

So the time to catch the child is given as

$t = \frac{0.6}{24.8 cos78.2}$

$t = 0.104 h$

So distance moved by it in 0.104 h

distance moved by the boat in upstream direction given as

$x = (24.8 sin 74.8 - 3.1)(0.104)$

$x = 2.18 km$

In y direction the displacement of boat is

$y = 0.6 km$

net displacement of the ball is given as

$d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}$

$d = \sqrt{2.18^2 + 0.6^2}$

$d = 2.26 km$

What is non uniform velocity

saul85 [17]

Answer:

"Non-uniform velocity" occurs when an object changes its velocity upon motion. This happens when the object either accelerates or decelerates (negative acceleration) in its speed or changes its direction.

Explanation:

"Velocity" refers to speed with a specific direction.

If the velocity is uniform, there's no change in speed and direction. However, if changes occur on either the speed, direction or both, then the velocity becomes variable or non-uniform.

For example, when it comes to a moving car, it is said to be in non-uniform velocity if the distances covered is unequal in relation to the equal intervals of time.

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado

Vesna [10]

Answer:

evolutionary theory

Explanation:

The evidence is overwhelming that the Grand Canyon was dug over a span of millions of years by the erosive power of the Colorado River and that river’s tributary streams.

This evidence does not support catastrophic theory but it does support evolutionary theory, because it was gradual process and took place overtime. It did not happen in a catastrophic manner.

2.1 Define Resultant vector

lord [1]

Explanation:

In vector geometry, the resultant vector is defined as: “A resultant vector is a combination or, in simpler words, can be defined as the sum of two or more vectors which has its own magnitude and direction.”

I hope it's helpful!
