Dovator [93]

Answer:

(a). The width of the river is 90.5 m.

The current speed of the river is 3.96 m.

(b). The shortest time is 15.0 sec and we would end 59.4 m east of our starting point.

Explanation:

Given that,

Constant speed = 6.00 m/s

Time = 20.1 sec

Speed = 9.00 m/s

Time = 11.2 sec

We need to write a equation for to travel due north across the river,

Using equation for north

$v^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{t^2}$

Put the value in the equation

$6.00^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{(20.1)^2}$

$36-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{404.01}$ ....(I)

We need to write a equation for to travel due south across the river,

Using equation for south

$v^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{t^2}$

Put the value in the equation

$9.00^2-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{(11.2)^2}$

$81-c^2=\dfrac{w^2}{125.44}$ ....(II)

(a). We need to calculate the wide of the river

Using equation (I) and (II)

$45=\dfrac{w^2}{125.44}-\dfrac{w^2}{404.01}$

$45=w^2(0.00549)$

$w^2=\dfrac{45}{0.00549}$

$w=\sqrt{\dfrac{45}{0.00549}}$

$w=90.5$

We need to calculate the current speed

Using equation (I)

$36-c^2=\dfrac{(90.5)^2}{(20.1)^2}$

$36-c^2=20.27$

$c^2=20.27-36$

$c=\sqrt{15.73}$

$c=3.96\ m/s$

(b). We need to calculate the shortest time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{90.5}{6}$

$t=15.0\ sec$

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

$d=vt$

$d=3.96\times15.0$

$d=59.4\ m$

Hence, (a). The width of the river is 90.5 m.

The current speed of the river is 3.96 m.

(b). The shortest time is 15.0 sec and we would end 59.4 m east of our starting point.

A 2.0 kg book is lying on a 0.78 m -high table. You pick it up and place it on a bookshelf 2.1 m above the floor.Part ADuring th

zloy xaker [14]

Given data:

* The mass of the book is 2 kg.

* The initial height of the book is 0.78 m.

* The final height of the book is 2.1 m.

Solution:

(A). The work done by the gravity on the book is,

$W=mg(h_f-h_i)$

where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h_i is the initial height and h_f is the final height,

The work is done in moving the object in upward direction where as the gravitational force is acting in the down ward direction. Thus, the value g (acceleration due to gravity) is taken as negative in this case.

Substituting the known values,

$\begin{gathered} W=2\times(-9.8)\times(2.1-0.78) \\ W=-19.6\times1.32 \\ W=-25.9\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the work done by the gravitational force is -25.9 J.

(B). The work done by the hand on the moving the book is,

$\begin{gathered} W_1=-W \\ =25.9\text{ J} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the work done by the hand on the book is 25.9 J.
