Bob can row 14 mph in still water. The total time to travel downstream and return upstream to the starting point is 4 hours. If

the total distance downstream and back is 42 miles, determine the speed of the river (current speed).

Answer:

7 mph

Explanation:

Let the speed of river is c mph.

The effective downstream speed = 14 + c

The effective upstream speed = 14 - c

Total time = 4 hrs

Total distance = 42 miles

Time for upstream + time for downstream = 4 hrs

21 / (14 + c) + 21 / (14 - c) = 4

21 (14 - c + 14 + c) = 4 (196 - c^2)

21 x 28 = 4 (196 - c^2)

c^2 = 196 -147 = 49

c = 7 mph

PLEASE NEED HELP What is the net force acting on the race car in the picture: Question 1 options: 10 N to the right 3 N to the l
Nezavi [6.7K]

Use Net Force Equation.

Fnet = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4

In which the following main forces in play are:

F1 = Gravitational Force

F2 = Normal Force

F3 = Thrust Force

F4 = Air resistance

Since this is assumed to happen on a flat surface, the gravitational and normal forces cancel out. So we are left with:

Fnet = F(thrust) + F(air resistance)

Now we can use this equation to solve for the net force.

Fnet = 10N [right] + 7N [left]

Fnet = 10N [right] - 7N [right]

Fnet = 3N [right].

Therefore, the total net force acting on this car would be 3N [right]

Point P is on the rim of a wheel of radius 2.0 m. At time t = 0, the wheel is at rest, and P is on the x-axis. The wheel undergo
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

e). a = 0.066 m/s^2

Explanation:

As we know that wheel is turned by 90 degree angle

so the angular speed of the wheel is given as

\omega_f^2 - \omega_i^2 = 2\alpha \theta

now we have

\omega_f^2 - 0 = 2(0.01)(\frac{\pi}{2})

\omega = 0.177 rad/s

now the centripetal acceleration of the point P is given as

a_c = \omega^2 R

a_c = (0.177)^2(2)

a_c = 0.063 m/s^2

tangential acceleration is given as

a_t = R\alpha

a_t = 2(0.01)

a_t = 0.02 m/s^2

now net acceleration is given as

a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_c^2}

a = \sqrt{0.02^2 + 0.063^2}

a = 0.066 m/s^2

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.
