The velocity of the wind relative to the water is crucial to sailboats. Suppose a sailboat is in an ocean current that has a vel

ocity of 2.20 m/s in a direction 30.0º east of north relative to the Earth. It encounters a wind that has a velocity of 4.50 m/s in a direction of 50.0º south of west relative to the Earth. What is the velocity of the wind relative to the water?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall write the velocities given in vector form to make the solution easy.

The velocity of water with respect to earth that is waV(e) makes 30 degree with north or 60 degree with east so in vector form

waV(e) = 2.2 cos 60 i + 2.2 sin 60 j

waV(e) = 1.1 i + 1.9 j

Similarly , velocity of wind with respect to earth that is wiV(e) , is making 50 degree with west or - ve of x axes so we cal write it in vector form as follows

wiV(e) =  - 4.5 cos 50 i - 4.5 sin 50 j

wiV(e) = - 2.89 i - 3.45 j

Now we have to calculate velocity of wind with respect to water that is

wiVwa

wiV( wa) = wiV ( e)+ eV(wa)

=  wiV( e)- waV(e)

- 2.89 i - 3.45 j - 1.1 i -  1.9 j

= - 3.99 i - 5.35 j

Magnitude of this relative velocity

D² = 3.99² + 5.35²

Acceleration = change of velocity divided by time interval = Δv/Δt.
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

a=2.378 m/s^2

Explanation:

a=Δv/Δt------eq(1)

Δv=Vf-Vi=120 km/h-0 km/h=120 km/h

or Δv=33.3 m/sec

or time=t=14s

putting values in eq(1)

a=33.3/14

a=2.378 m/s^2

Two +1 C charges are separated by 30000 m, what is the magnitude of<br> the force?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of the force is 10 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law</u>

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Written as a formula:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We have two identical charges of q1=q2=1 c separated by d=30000 m, thus the magnitude of the force is:

\displaystyle F=9\cdot 10^9\frac{1*1}{30000^2}

\displaystyle F=9\cdot 10^9\frac{1*1}{30000^2}

F = 10 N

The magnitude of the force is 10 N

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of
Pavel [41]
<h2>Answer: higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </h2>

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is the set of destructive processes through which rocky materials go trhough. These processes cause changes in the color, texture, composition, firmness and shape of the material.

It should be noted that this happens when the rocks come into contact with atmospheric agents such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Another important aspect is that rocks are able to break up more easily thanks to this type of weathering, since <u>the mineral grains within the rock lose adherence and dissolve better under the action of some physical agents</u>, such as <u>humidity (rainfall included) and temperature</u>.

Therefore:

Chemical weathering is greatest under conditions of <u>higher mean annual rainfall and temperatures. </u>

What subatomic particle acts like a mini-magnet?
Semenov [28]
 The subatomic particles that acts like a mini-magnet is electron. Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles in an atom. The electron spin is a property of an electron that makes it behave like it's spinning; a spinning electron produces a magnetic field that makes it behave like a tiny magnet in an atom.
