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

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.

Which color of light is diffracted at a greater angle from a diffraction grating, red or yellow light?
topjm [15]
The amount of diffraction depends on the wavelength of light, with shorter wavelengths being diffracted at a greater angle than longer ones (in effect, blue and violet<span> light are diffracted at a larger angle than is red light).

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)​
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.

The tendency of two masses alone in the universe to drift together is a result of
torisob [31]
It is as a result of gravity.  (D)

This is as stated by Newton's law of universal gravitation. That two objects in the universe attract one another with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance apart.

The constant of proportionality is the Universal Gravitational Constant.

G = 6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²
