A river flows due south at 5 mi/h. A swimmer attempting to cross the river heads due east swimming at 3 mi/h relative to the wat

er. Find the true velocity of the swimmer as a vector. (Assume that the i vector points east, and the j vector points north.)

Answer:

<u>velocity of swimmer relative to ground = 3 i -5 j</u>

Explanation:

  • To cross a river the swimmer swims relative to river in perpendicular direction.

Velocity of river = -5 j (south)

Velocity of swimmer relative to river = 3 i(north)

So

<h2>Velocity of swimmer relative to ground = Velocity of swimmer relative to river + Velocity of river</h2>

Velocity of swimmer relative to ground = 3 i -5 j

So magnitude of total velocity is \sqrt{3^2+(-5)^2} =\sqrt{9+25} = \sqrt{34}

An Austin volleyball player bumps a 5 kg ball into the air. It reaches a height of 2.8 meters. How fast was the ball going as it
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

v = 7.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass if a volleyball, m = 5 kg

The ball reaches a height of 2.8 m

We need to find how fast the ball is going as it bumped into the air. Ket the velocity is v. Using the conservation of energy to find it as follows :

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.8} \\\\=7.4\ m/s

So, the required speed is 7.4 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (b).

Does heat flow towards cold?​
Liula [17]

Answer:

And unless people interfere, thermal energy — or heat — naturally flows in one direction only: from hot toward cold. Heat moves naturally by any of three means. The processes are known as conduction, convection and radiation. Sometimes more than one may occur at the same time.

A passenger jet travels from Los angles to Bombay, India, in 22 h. The return flight takes 17 h. The difference in flight times
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

70.5 mph

Explanation:

A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.

The return flight takes 17 h.

The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that

blow primarily from west to east.

If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed

of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.

Is your answer reasonable?

:

Let w = speed of the wind

:

Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways

17(550+w) = 22(550-w)

9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w

17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350

39w = 2750

W = 2750/39

w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable

:

Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value

17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi

22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph

We need to find the launch velocity of our new marble launcher. we know that it will launch a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm,
White raven [17]

The launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s

Given that the launch velocity of marble launcher, launches a 25g marble to a distance of 73 cm (0.73 m) and the marble roll up to 6.2 meters before stopping. The launch height is 20 cm (0.2 m).

The time for landing can be calculated by the second equation of motion formula:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Let u = 0

0.2 = 0×t + \frac{1}{2} × 9.8 × t^{2}

t^{2} = \frac{0.2}{4.9}

t^{2} = 0.04

t = 0.2s

Now, the launch velocity of the marble launcher can be calculated by:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = \frac{0.73 + 6.3}{0.2}

Speed = \frac{6.93}{0.2}

Speed = 34.65 m/s

Therefore, the launch velocity of the marble launcher is 34.65 m/s
