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's the difference in a balanced force in an unbalanced force
AlekseyPX

There's no such thing as one balanced force or one unbalanced force.

If ALL of the forces in a GROUP of forces acting on the same object
all add up to zero, then we say that the GROUP of forces is balanced.

If they don't, then the GROUP of forces is unbalanced.

Two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced.
One force can't.

A 0.14-MIN baseball is dropped from rest. It has a momentum of 0.90 kg⋅m/skg⋅m/s just before it lands on the ground.
nikitadnepr [17]

The time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>momentum of the ball, P = 0.9 kgm/s</em>
  • <em>weight of the ball, W = 0.14 N</em>

The impulse experienced by the ball is calculated as follows;

Ft = \Delta P

where;

Ft is impulse

\Delta P is change in momentum

The time of motion of the ball is calculated as follows;

t = \frac{\Delta P}{F} \\\\t = \frac{0.9 - 0}{0.14} \\\\t = 6.43 \ s

Thus, the time spent in the air by the ball at the given momentum is 6.43 s.

The core of a 400 Hz aircraft transformer has a net cross-sectional area of 13 cm2. The maximum flux density is 0.9 T, and there
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

32.76 Volt

Explanation:

frequency, f = 400 Hz

Area of crossection, A = 13 cm²

Maximum flux density, B = 0.9 tesla

Number of turns in secondary coil, N = 70

Let the maximum induced voltage is e.

According to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

e = dФ/dt

e=\frac{NBA}{t}

Time is defined as the reciprocal of frequency.

So, e = N B A f

e = 70 x 0.9 x 13 x 10^-4 x 400

e = 32.76 volt

Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 8.7 nC. Using insulatin
JulsSmile [24]

Explanation:

(a)   Since, it is given that the blocks are identical so distribution of charge will be uniform on both the blocks.

Hence, final charge on block A will be calculated as follows.

         Charge on block A = \frac{(8.7 + 0 nC}{2}

                                           = 4.35 nC

Therefore, final charge on the block A is 4.35 nC.

(b)  As it is given that the positive charge is coming on block A . This means that movement of electrons will be from A to B.

Thus, we can conclude that while the blocks were in contact with each other then electrons will flow from A to B.
