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.

A cable with mass 0.5 kilograms per meter (kg/m) is used to lift 150 kg of coal up a mine shaft 50 meters deep. Set up the integ
zalisa [80]

Answer:

W=-\int_{0}^{50}[150-0.5y]dy

Explanation:

the integral for the work is:

W=\int\vec{F}\cdot d\vec{l}=\int(-M(y)g)dy

the work is against the gravitational force. While the coal is going up, M(y) is changing due to the length of the cable is lower. We can describe this by using the following formula

M(y)=150kg-0.5\frac{kg}{m}y

Thus , the integral for the work is:

W=-\int_{0}^{50}[150-0.5y]dy

hope this helps!!
