A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west

Minchanka [31]

The ducks' flight path as observed by someone standing on the ground is the sum of the wind velocity and the ducks' velocity relative to the wind:

ducks (relative to wind) + wind (relative to Earth) = ducks (relative to Earth)

or equivalently,

$\vec v_{D/W}+\vec v_{W/E}=\vec v_{D/E}$

(see the attached graphic)

We have

ducks (relative to wind) = 7.0 m/s in some direction <em>θ</em> relative to the positive horizontal direction, or

$\vec v_{D/W}=\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(\cos\theta\,\vec\imath+\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath)$

wind (relative to Earth) = 5.0 m/s due East, or

$\vec v_{W/E}=\left(5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(\cos0^\circ\,\vec\imath+\sin0^\circ\,\vec\jmath)$

ducks (relative to earth) = some speed <em>v</em> due South, or

$\vec v_{D/E}=v(\cos270^\circ\,\vec\imath+\sin270^\circ\,\vec\jmath)$

Then by setting components equal, we have

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos\theta+5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}=0$

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin\theta=-v$

We only care about the direction for this question, which we get from the first equation:

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos\theta=-5.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$\cos\theta=-\dfrac57$

$\theta=\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac57\right)\text{ OR }\theta=360^\circ-\cos^{-1}\left(-\dfrac57\right)$

or approximately 136º or 224º.

Only one of these directions must be correct. Choosing between them is a matter of picking the one that satisfies <em>both</em> equations. We want

$\left(7.0\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin\theta=-v$

which means <em>θ</em> must be between 180º and 360º (since angles in this range have negative sine).

So the ducks must fly (relative to the air) in a direction 224º relative to the positive horizontal direction, or about 44º South of West.

An irrigation canal has a rectangular cross section. At one point whare the canal is 16.0 m wide, and the water is 3.8 m deep, t

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

At one point

Wide= 16.0 m

Deep = 3.8 m

Water flow = 2.8 cm/s

At a second point downstream

Width of canal = 16.5 m

Water flow = 11.0 cm/s

We need to calculate the depth

Using Bernoulli theorem

$A_{1}V_{1}=A_{2}V_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$16.0\times3.8\times2.8=16.5\times x\times 11.0$

$x=\dfrac{16.0\times3.8\times2.8}{16.5\times11.0}$

$x=0.938\ m$

Hence, The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

Explain how waves, energy, and matter are related

Stels [109]

Answer:

Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy while electromagnetic waves do not. ... Waves change direction when they move from one material into another (matter) through the process of refraction. The wave will change direction when the speed of the wave changes.

How is that speed affected by medium density and medium temperature?

ss7ja [257]

Speed decreases more the denser the medium.
Since density of a material normally decreases with temperature, it is not surprising that the speed of light in a liquid will normally increase as the temperature increases. (Thus, the index of refraction normally decreases)

How can acceleration be described?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The definition of acceleration is: Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.
