Point A is located on the western bank of a river, and point C is located directly across stream on the eastern bank. The river

is 648.6 m wide and flows due south at 2.54 km/hr. A boat wants to cross the river from point A to point C. Determine the bearing and velocity that must be maintained by the boat in order to arrive at point C in 10 minutes.

Answer:

1.29 m/s ∠ 35.2°

Explanation:

Let consider point A and C are in horizontal direction and the stream flows in vertical direction.

Horizontal Velocity:

The boat has to cross the river in 10 minutes and reach point C.

so V<em>i= </em>648.6/(10*60) m/s

Vi=1.08 m/s

Vertical Velocity:

The water will flow the boat in south direction, to reach point C the boat need to acquire same velocity in the opposite direction of river flow.

so

Vj= (2.54 km)/(1 hr) = (2.54*1000 m)/3600 sec

Vj= 0.706 m/s

Magnitude of Velocity:

V=\sqrt{vi^{2}  +vj^{2} }

V= \sqrt{(1.08)^{2}+(0.706)^{2} } }

V=1.29 m/s

Direction of boat:

∅=tan^{-1 } (vj/vx)

∅=tan^{-1 } (0.706/1.08)

∅=35.2°

What is the process that changes smaller atoms into larger ones in a star
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion

Explanation:

In fusion, many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). ... A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

A small ranger vehicle has a soft, ragtop roof. When the car is at rest, the roof is flat. When the car is cruising at highway s
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

roof bow upwards

Explanation:

The top of the roof of the small ranger vehicle will bow upwards. This is as a result of gas pressure on the soft ragtop roof.

  • As air begins to fill the vehicle, pressure resonates in all direction proportionally.
  • The pressure of the air will be greater than that which the roof can withstand and this forces the roof sky up.
  • It is a common scene when we see roof of ragtop vehicles bowing upwards into the sky.

mylen [45]

Answer:

Impulse = change in momentum w bounce

There are 2 impulses acting. Recoil of the fan going the negative direction and the impulse of the air bouncing off the sail. The greater impulse will bounce so the direction will be to the right moving the craft.
