. a boat can travel in still water. (a) if the boat points directly across a stream whose current is what is the velocity (magni
mixer [17]

a) The velocity of the boat relative to the shore is 3.40 m/s and b) The position of the boat relative to its point of origin after 3s is 10.20m.

Here it is given that the speed of the boat (x) = 2.20m/s

The speed of the stream current (y) = 1.20m/s

a) We have to find the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

The speed of the boat = x + y

                                    = 2.20 + 1.20

                                    = 3.40m/s

b) Now we have to find the position of the boat after 3s

The formula for speed:

Speed = Distance/ Time

distance = speed × time

speed = 3.40m/s

Time = 3s

distance = 3.40 × 3

              = 10.20 m

Therefore we get a) speed as 3.40m/s and b) distance as 10.20m.

As you brake your bicycle, your velocity changes from 20 m/s east to 10 m/s east in 5 seconds. What’s your acceleration?
charle [14.2K]

Hello!

\large\boxed{-2m/s^{2} }

Find the acceleration using the formula a =  (vf - vi) / t where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

t = time

Plug in the points above:

vf = +10 m/s

vi = +20 m/s

t = 5 sec

(10 - 20) / 5 = -10 / 5 = -2 m/s²

The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is greater than that on Earth. On Jupiter, a person will weigh .
Lerok [7]
The acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter is 24.79 m/s²,
compared to 9.8 m/s² on Earth ... a ratio of about 2.53 .

So if a person or object were somehow transported to Jupiter,
he/it would weigh

           (2.53) times (Earth weight)

there.
