A man paddles a canoe in a long, straight section of a river. The canoe moves downstream with constant speed 5 m/s relative to t

he water. The river has a steady current of 1 m/s relative to the bank. The man's hat falls into the river. Five minutes later, he notices that his hat is missing and immediately turns the canoe around, paddling upriver with the same constant speed of 5 m/s relative to the water. How long does it take the man to row back upriver to reclaim his hat?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider all movement with respect to water assuming that river is at rest or motionless .

speed of canoe = 5 m /s

in five minutes , distance between hat and canoe = 5 x 60 x 5

1500 m

This distance will be covered by man in return journey . In this case his speed is 5 m /s again considering river constant .

So this will be covered at 5 m /s

time taken = 1500 / 5 = 300 s

= 5 minutes .

so it will take 5 minutes to row back to reclaim his hat .

wlad13 [49]

None of the choices is correct.

== The Earth's radius is 6,371 km.  That's how far you are from the center of the Earth when you're on the ground.

== The acceleration of gravity on the ground is 9.8 m/s² .

== The acceleration of gravity varies inversely as the square of the distance from the center of the Earth.  So, at 7,200 km from the center, it's

(9.8 m/s²) · (6371km/7200km)² .

Stuffing this through your cakulator, you'll get  <em>7.67 m/s²</em> .

A 1502.7 kg car is traveling at 33.1 m/s when
Bond [772]

By definition of average acceleration,

<em>a</em> = (20 m/s - 33.1 m/s) / (4.7 s) ≈ -2.78 m/s²

Vertically, the car is in equilibrium, so the net force is equal to the friction force in the direction opposite the car's motion:

∑ <em>F</em> = (1502.7 kg) (-2.78 m/s²) ≈ -4188.38 N ≈ -4200 N

If you just want the magnitude, drop the negative sign.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find electric field at origin due to two given charges sitting   on the either side of origin .

Total field will add up due to their same direction .

Field due to a charge Q

= 9 x 10⁹ x Q / R²  ;  R is distance of point , Q is charge

Field due to first charge

= 9 x 10⁹ x 40 x 10⁻³ / 2² x 10⁻⁴

= 90 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Field due to second  charge

= 9 x 10⁹ x 50 x 10⁻³ / 2² x 10⁻⁴

= 112.5 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Total field

= 202.5 x 10¹⁰ N/C

Force on given charge at origin

= charge x field

= 4 x 10⁻³ x 202.5 x 10¹⁰

= 810 x 10⁷ N .
