Answer:

It must be moving at an angle \theta with East towards North

Explanation:

As we know that boat headed towards North while river is flowing towards East

So here the resultant velocity of boat is vector sum of velocity of river and velocity of boat.

So we will find the vector resultant as

\vec v = \vec v_b + \vec v_r

here we know

\vec v_b = velocity of boat towards North

\vec v_r = velocity of river towards East

now if we add two vectors along North and and east then the resultant must be between North and East so the boat will move at some angle \theta with East towards North

Thermal conductivity of a material is given as 129Btuft–¹ h–¹°F–¹.Calculate this thermal conductivity in Jm–¹s–¹°C–¹(Given: 1Btu
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

223.25 $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$

Explanation:

The thermal conductivity of an object is defined as the measure or the ability of the object to transfer heat or conduct heat through its body.

In the context, the thermal conductivity of the material is given as

$=129 \text{ Btu ft}^{-1}\text{h}^{-1}^\circ\text{F}^{-1}$

And it is given that :

1 Btu = 1055 J

1 ft = 0.3048 m

$1^\circ F = \frac{5}{9}^\circ C$

We know that 1 h = 3600 s

So the thermal conductivity of the material in $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$ is  :

Thermal conductivity :

$=\frac{129 \text{ Btu}}{1 \text{ ft }\times \text{1 h}\times 1^\circ\text{F}}$

$=\frac{129 \times 1055 \text{ J}}{0.3048 \text{ m} \ \times 3600 \text{ s}\ \times \frac{5}{9}^\circ \text{C}}$

=  223.25 $\text{Jm}^{-1}\text{s}^{-1}^\circ\text{C}^{-1}$

Please left home at 8 AM to spend the day at in amusement park. He arrived at the park, which was 150 KM from his house, at 10 A
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

v=\frac{150km}{2h}=75\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

We can use the equation for the speed

v=\frac{x}{t}

where x is the distance and t the time. In this case we know that the time spent was 2 hours and the distance was 150km. By replacing we have

v=\frac{150km}{2h}=75\frac{km}{h}

I hope this useful for you
