Sheena can row a boat at 2.20 mi/h in still water. She needs to cross a river that is 1.20 mi wide with a current flowing at 1.6

0 mi/h. Not having her calculator ready, she guesses that to go straight across, she should head upstream at an angle of 25.0° from the direction straight across the river.

Answer:

Part a)

v_{bw} = 2.1 mph

Part b)

t = 0.6 h

Part c)

x = 0.4 mile

Part d)

\theta = 46.6 degree

Explanation:

Part a)

Velocity of the boat with respect to water stream is given as

v_{bw} = v_b + v_w

v_{bw} = (1.60 - 2.20sin25) \hat i + 2.20 cos25\hat j

so we have

v_{bw} = 0.67 \hat i + 2 \hat j

magnitude of the speed is given as

v_{bw} = \sqrt{0.67^2 + 2^2}

v_{bw} = 2.1 mph

Part b)

Time to cross the river is given as

t = \frac{y}{v_y}

t = \frac{1.20}{2}

t = 0.6 h

Part c)

Distance moved by the boat in downstream is given as

x = v_x t

x = 0.67 \times 0.6

x = 0.4 mile

Part d)

In order to go straight we must net speed along the stream must be zero

so we will have

vsin\theta = v_w

2.20 sin\theta = 1.60

\theta = 46.6 degree

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

b. a massive collapsed star

Explanation:

A black hole in the universe is nothing but a massive collapsed star. When the size of the star crosses a particular limit it cannot holds its mass and it collapses under it own self. This is called supernova. A black hole is actually a region in space where gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape through it. Gravity so strong because the matter has been pressed into a tiny space. hence option b is correct

d1i1m1o1n [39]

If "0.3 minute" is correct, then it's 9,543,272 Joules.

If it's supposed to say "0.3 SECOND", then the KE is 2,651 Joules.

A rubber-wheeled 50 kg cart rolls down a 35 degree concrete incline. Coefficient of rolling friction between rubber and concrete
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

(a) 5.62 m/s²

(b) 5.46 m/s²

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass,

m = 50 kg

angle

= 35°

(a)

If friction neglected,

⇒ F_x=mgSin \theta=ma

⇒ a_x=gSin \theta

       =9.8 \ Sin35^{\circ}

       =5.62 \ m/s^2

(b)

If friction present,

⇒ F_x=mgCos \theta

⇒ F_x=mgSin \theta-\mu_r mgCos \theta

⇒ a=gSin \theta-\mu_rgCos \theta

      =9.8 \ Sin35^{\circ}-0.02\times 9.8 \ Cos30^{\circ}

      =5.46 \ m/s^2
