A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea
Savatey [412]

Answer:

41.81^{\circ}

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector \overrightarrow{OA} is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, \vec {R} must be in the north direction.

Let \overrightarrow{AB} is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector \overrightarrow {OA} and head of the vector \overrightarrow{AB} must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|

\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3

\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23

\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of 41.81^{\circ}  in the north of east direction.

A 0.40 kg mass hangs on a spring with a spring constant of 12 N/m. The system oscillated with a constant amplitude of 12 cm. Wha
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

Explanation:

The motion of the mass-spring system is represented by the following formula:

x(t) = A\cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t + \phi)

Where:

x(t) - Position of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position, measured in centimeters.

A - Amplitude of the mass-spring system, measured in centimeters.

\omega - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

\phi - Phase, measured in radians.

The acceleration experimented by the mass is obtained by deriving the position equation twice:

a (t) = -\omega^{2}\cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega\cdot t + \phi)

Where the maximum acceleration of the system is represented by \omega^{2}\cdot A.

The natural frequency of the mass-spring system is:

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

Where:

k - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

m - Mass, measured in kilograms.

If k = 12\,\frac{N}{m} and m = 0.40\,kg, the natural frequency is:

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{12\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.40\,kg} }

\omega \approx 5.477\,\frac{rad}{s}

Lastly, the maximum acceleration of the system is:

a_{max} = \left(5.477\,\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\cdot (12\,cm)

a_{max} = 359.970\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

As the Sun ages, what will happen to life here on Earth? Why?
Burka [1]

Answer:

As the Sun ages it will enter another stage of stellar evolution where it's atmosphere begins to inflate.As the Sun heats up and expands, life on Earth will become increasingly difficult. Long before the Sun becomes a red giant some 4 or 5 billion years from now, our planet will be rendered uninhabitable.
