A ferry approaches shore, moving north with a speed of 6.2 m/s relative to the dock. A person on the ferry walks from one side o

f the ferry to the other, moving east with a speed of 1.5 m/s relative to the ferry. What is the speed of the person relative to the dock?

Speed of Ferry is towards North with magnitude 6.2 m/s

Here if we assume that North direction is along Y axis and East is along X axis then we can say

\vec v_f = 6.2 \hat j

Now a person walk on ferry with speed 1.5 m/s towards east with respect to Ferry

so it is given as

\vec v_{pf} = 1.5 \hat i

also by the concept of relative motion we know that

\vec v_{pf} = \vec v_p - \vec v_f

now plug in all values in it

1.5 \hat i = \vec v_p - 6.2 \hat j

\vec v_p = 1.5 \hat i + 6.2 \hat j

now if we need to find the speed of the person then we need to find its magnitude

so it is given as

v = \sqrt{1.5^2 + 6.2^2}

v = 6.37 m/s

Alicia can row 6 miles downstream in the same time it takes her to row 4 miles upstream. She rows downstream 3 miles/hour faster
m_a_m_a [10]
Let us assume the upstream rowing rate of Alicia = x
Let us assume the downstream rowing rate of Alicia = y
We already know that
Travelling time = Distance traveled/rowing rate
Then
6/(x + 3) = 4/x
6x = 4x + 12
6x - 4x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6
Then
Rowing rate of Alicia going upstream = 6 miles per hour
Rowing rate of Alicia going downstream = 9 miles per hour.

Do rolling down a grassy hill has kinetic energy or potential energy
Ann [662]

If you're moving, then you have kinetic energy.

If you're not at the bottom yet, then you still have
some potential energy left.

A 90 kg man stands in a very strong wind moving at 17 m/s at torso height. As you know, he will need to lean in to the wind, and
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)  t=195.948N.m

b)  \phi=13.6 \textdegree

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Density \rho=1.225kg/m^2

Velocity of wind v=14m/s

Dimension of rectangle:50 cm wide and 90 cm

Drag coefficient \mu=2.05

a)

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

F=\frac{1}{2}\muA\rhov^2

F=\frac{1}{2}2.05(50*90*\frac{1}{10000})*1.225*17^2

F=163.29

Therefore Torque

t=F*r*sin\theta

t=163.29*1.2*sin90

t=195.948N.m

b)

Generally the equation for torque due to weight is mathematically given by

t=d*Mg*sin90

Where

d=sin \phi

Therefore

t=sin \phi*Mg*sin90

195.948=833sin \phi

\phi=sin^{-1}\frac{195.948}{833}

\phi=13.6 \textdegree
