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°

katrin2010 [14]

Time period of any moon of Jupiter is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{GM}}

from above formula we can say that mass of Jupiter is given by

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

now for part a)

r = 4.22 * 10^8 m

T = 1.77 day = 152928 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (4.22 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(152928)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part B)

r = 6.71 * 10^8 m

T = 3.55 day = 306720 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (6.71 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(306720)^2}

M = 1.9* 10^{27} kg

Part c)

r = 10.7 * 10^8 m

T = 7.16 day = 618624 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (10.7 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(618624)^2}

M = 1.89* 10^{27} kg

PART D)

r = 18.8 * 10^8 m

T = 16.7 day = 1442880 seconds

now by above formula

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}

M = \frac{4 \pi^2 (18.8 * 10^8)^3}{(6.67 * 10^{-11})(1442880)^2}

M = 1.889* 10^{27} kg

Calculate the acceleration of an airplane that starts at rest and reaches a speed 45m/s in 9 seconds
sasho [114]

I believe the acceleration would be 5m/s

All you would need to do is divide the final speed by the time it took to get there. I am only about 80 sure this answer is correct, so take my advise only if you feel comfortable.

Why does the frequency of a siren get higher as an ambulance using that siren gets closer?
Archy [21]
The answer is D. As the ambulance gets closer, the sound waves are compressed relative to the person; so the frequency increases.

Question: What is the frequency of a wave that has a wave speed of 120 m/s and a wavelength of 0.40 m?

Answer: The equation that relates frequency of a wave to a waves speed and wavelength is Speed of Wave= Frequency X Wavelength. Since you are given speed and wavelength, you plug those two known numbers into the equation, 120= Frequency X 0.40. You then divide 120 by .4 to get your frequency of 300.
