A boat heads directly across a river. Its speed relative to the water is 2.6 m/s. It takes it 355 seconds to cross, but it ends

up 690 m downstream. How fast is the boat going relative to the bank of the river?

Answer:

Vr = 3.24m/s

The boat is going 3.24m/s relative to the bank of the river.

Explanation:

The relative speed of the boat to the bank Vr is the resultant of speed of boat relative to the water Vb and the speed of boat as a result of the water current or wind Vw

Vr = √(Vb^2 + Vw^2) .....1

Given;

Vb = 2.6m/s

Vw = distance downstream/time = 690m/355s

Vw = 1.94m/s

From equation 1 above; substituting the values

Vr = √(2.6^2 + 1.94^2)

Vr = 3.24m/s

The boat is going 3.24m/s relative to the bank of the river.

As per Newton's law rate of change in momentum is net force

so we can write it as

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

F = \frac{m(v_f - v_i)}{\Delta t}

now we know that

m = 60 kg

v_f = 3 m/s

v_i = 0

\Delta t= 0.2 s

from above equation

F = \frac{60(3 - 0)}{0.2} = 900 N

so he will experience 900 N force in above case

A 0.105- kg hockey puck moving at 24 m/s is caught and held by a 75-kg goalie at rest. With what speed does the goalie slide on
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

<u><em>0.03 m/s</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Applying law of conservation of momentum, </em>

  • <em>m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v</em>
  • <em>0.105(24) + 75(0) = (0.105 + 75)v</em>
  • <em>75.105v = 2.52</em>
  • <em>v = 2.52/75.105</em>
  • <em>v = </em><u><em>0.03 m/s</em></u>

how much work does tension do on the laptop as it moves 2.0 mm ? express your answer with the appropriate units.
8090 [49]

The work done by tension force of 14N applied on the laptop by a rope as it moves 2.0 mm up the slope is 0.028 J

W = F d cos θ

W = Work done

F = Force

d = Displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement vector

F = 14 N

d = 2 mm = 0.002 m

θ = 0

W = 14 * 0.002 * 1

W = 0.028 J

Work done is the change in energy of an object. So if an object moves a certain distance, work is done on the object. If the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other there is no work done on the object.

Therefore, the work done by tension on the laptop is 0.028 J

In 0.60 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 610 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: a=1016.66 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration a is expressed in the following formula:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{t}

Where:

V_{f}=610 m/s is the final velocity of the projectile

V_{o}=0 m/s  is the initial velocity of the projectile

t=0.6 s is the time

Solving:

a=\frac{610 m/s-0 m/s}{0.6 s}

a=1016.66 m/s^{2} This is the acceleration of the projectile
