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.

Irina-Kira [14]
<span>So we want to know what happens to the momentum of the ball that rolls down hill and hits a box. So we need to use the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum must be conserved. It cant be transformed into inertia or mass. It can only be transferred to other object via some interactions like collisions. So it has to be a. transferred to the box and that is the correct answer. </span>

The correct answer is:
<span>C: in the protons and neutrons of an atom

In fact, the nuclear energy refers to the binding energy of the nucleons (protons and neutrons) of an atom. The protons and the neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear interaction, one of the four fundamental forces of nature, and the energy associated to this interaction is called nuclear energy.

Answer:

Explanation:distance-time =speed

a,V =s/t

V=2m/2s

V=1m/s

b,v=s/t

V=80m/40s

V= 2m/s

The average speed is 2m/s
