Answer:

The magnitude of the velocity of boat w.r.t ground is 6.2015 m/s

Solution:

As per the question;

Width of the river, w = 216 m

Uniform speed of boat due east, u_{x} = 2.2\hat{i} m/s

Angle in north west direction, \theta = 34^{\circ}

Velocity of the boat relative to water, v_{bw} = 7.9m/s

Now,

Velocity of the boat relative to the water is given by:

v_{bw} = -7.9cos34^{\circ}\hat{i} + 7.9sin34^{\circ}\hat{j}

v_{bw} = - 6.55\hat{i} + 4.42\hat{j} m/s

Also, velocity of water w.r.t ground is v_{wg} = u_{x} = 2.2\hat{i} m/s

Now,

Magnitude of the velocity of boat w.r.t ground is given by:

v_{bg} = v_{bw} + v_{wg}

v_{bg} = - 6.55\hat{i} + 4.42\hat{j} + 2.2\hat{i}

v_{bg} = - 4.35\hat{i} + 4.42\hat{j} m/s

|v_{bg}| = \sqrt{(- 4.35)^{2} + (4.42)^{2}} = 6.2015\ m/s

The electric field 2.5 mm from a uniform sheet of charge is σ=800, NC. How much charge is contained in a 5.0x5.0 cm section of t
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The charge is 2.75\times10^{-13}\ C

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 2.5 mm

Electric field = 800 NC

Length L=5.0\times5.0\times10^{-4}\ m

We need to calculate the linear charge density

Using formula of linear charge density

E=\dfrac{2k\lambda}{r}

\lambda=\dfrac{Er}{2k}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{800\times2.5\times10^{-3}}{2\times9\times10^{9}}

\lambda=1.1\times10^{-10}\ C/m

We need to calculate the charge

Using formula of charge

Q=\lambda\timesL

Put the value into the formula

Q=1.1\times10^{-10}\times(5.0\times5.0\times10^{-4})

Q=2.75\times10^{-13}\ C

Hence, The charge is 2.75\times10^{-13}\ C

An island reports that in the year 2000 there were 240 babies born. That same year, 100 individuals died.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

+ 140

Explanation:

You can show the natural growth rate by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate during one year and converting this into a percentage.

Here it would be:

240 - 100 = + 140

// if you want to convert it to percentage, you need to know the size of the population

it would be

140 / (population size) * 100 %
