Fantom [35]3 years ago

This is True.

Explanation:

initial velocity= Vi=0

final velocity= V

acceleration due to gravity= 9.8 m/s²

using the kinematic equation V= Vi+gt

V=0+(9.8)(2)

V= 19.6 m/s which is approximately equal to 20 m/s

Thus after 2 seconds, the instantaneous speed of the rock is approximately 20 m/s.

A woman can row a boat at 5.60 km/h in still water. (a) If she is crossing a river where the current is 2.80 km/h, in what direc
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) θ=210°, b) t=1.155hr, c) t=1.333hr, d) t=1.333hr, e) θ=180° (straight across), f) t=1hr.

Explanation:

So, the very first thing we nee to do when solving this problem is draw a diagram that represents it. In the attached picture I show a diagram for each part of this problem.

part a)

So, for her to move in a direction directly opposite her starting point, the x-component of her velocity must be de same as the velocity of the river in the opposite direction. We can use this fact to find the angle we need. If we analize the triangle I drew in the diagram, we can ses that:

cos \theta = \frac {V_{river}}{V_{boat}}

When solving for theta, we get that:

\theta =cos^{-1} ( \frac {V_{river}}{V_{boat}})

so now we can substitute the corresponding values:

\theta =cos^{-1} ( \frac {2.80km/hr}{5.60km/hr}})

Which yields:

\theta = 60^{o}

but we are measuring the angle relative to the line perpendicular to the river, positive if down the river. So we need to subtract the angle from 270° so we get:

θ=270°-60°=210°

part b)

for part b, we need to find what the y-component for the velocity of the boat is for an angle of 210° as shown in the problem, so we get that:

V_{y}=5.60km/hr*cos(210^{o})

V_{y}=-4.85km/hr

The woman will head in a negative 5.60km distance from one side to the other, so we get that the time it takes her to go to the other side of the river is:

t=\frac{y}{V_{y}}

t=\frac{5.60km}{4.85km/hr}=1.155hr

part c)

In order to find the time it takes her to travel 2.80km down and up the river, we need to find the velocities she will have in both directions. First, down stream:

V_{ds}=V_{river}+V{boat}

V_{ds}=2.80km/hr+5.60km/hr=8.40km/hr

and now up stream:

V_{us}=V_{boat}-V{river}

V_{us}=5.60km/hr-2.80km/hr=2.80km/hr

Once we got these two velocities we will now need to find the time to take each trip:

time down stream:

t_{ds}=\frac{x}{v_{ds}}

t_{ds}=\frac{2.80km}{8.40km/hr}=0.333hr

and the time up stream:

t_{us}=\frac{x}{v_{us}}

t_{us}=\frac{2.80km}{2,80km/hr}=1hr

so the total time will be:

t_{ds}+t_{us}=0.333hr+1hr=1.333hr

d) the time it takes the boat to go upstream and then downstream for the same distance is the same as the time we got on part c, since both times will be the same but they will come in different order, but their sum will be just the same:

t=1.333hr

e) For her to cross the river faster, she must row in a 180° direction (this is in a direction straight accross the river) that way she will use all her velocity to move across the river. (Even though she will move a certain distance horizontally and will not reach a point opposite to the starting point.)

f) In order to find the time it takes her to get to the other side, we need to divide the distance into the velocity of the boat.

t=\frac{d}{v_{boat}}

t=\frac{5.60km}{5.60km/hr}

so

t= 1hr

Is it possible for an object to be in motion without any external force applied? justify
Rudiy27
Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

Hope this help

A car has the velocity of 2.35 after 4.67 it's velocity is 9.89 what is the average acceleration
kiruha [24]
Average acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
  
Change in speed = (ending speed) - (beginning speed)

                       =  (9.89 miles/hour) - (2.35 yards/second)  = 26,839.2 ft/hr

Acceleration  =  (26,839.2 ft/hr) / (4.67 days)  =  2,873.58 inch/hour²
