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 $\sqrt{3^2+(-5)^2}$ = $\sqrt{9+25}$ = $\sqrt{34}$

A 3.00 kg object is moving in the XY plane, with its x and y coordinates given by x = 5t³ !1 and y = 3t ² + 2, where x and y are

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The net force acting on this object is 180.89 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 3.00 kg

Coordinate of position of $x= 5t^3+1$

Coordinate of position of $y=3t^2+2$

Time = 2.00 s

We need to calculate the acceleration

$a = \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}$

For x coordinates

$x=5t^3+1$

On differentiate w.r.to t

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=15t^2+0$

On differentiate again w.r.to t

$\dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}=30t$

The acceleration in x axis at 2 sec

$a = 60i$

For y coordinates

$y=3t^2+2$

On differentiate w.r.to t

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=6t+0$

On differentiate again w.r.to t

$\dfrac{d^2y}{dt^2}=6$

The acceleration in y axis at 2 sec

$a = 6j$

The acceleration is

$a=60i+6j$

We need to calculate the net force

$F = ma$

$F = 3.00\times(60i+6j)$

$F=180i+18j$

The magnitude of the force

$|F|=\sqrt{(180)^2+(18)^2}$

$|F|=180.89\ N$

Hence, The net force acting on this object is 180.89 N.

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T on Earth. Calculate the

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

T = T

Explanation:

Time period of a simple pendulum is not affected by the mass of the bob. As we know, $T = 2\pi \sqrt{L/g}$ . There is no factor of mass affecting when we derived the equation. The basic reason behind the time period is not affected is because of mass dependence on angular acceleration. As the mass increases the acceleration increase and the Time Period remains constant.
