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

d = 6.67 m /s

What is the formula for lithium and chlorine?
siniylev [52]
LiCl, because lithium (Li) has one positively charged ion (1+), and
chloride (Cl) has one negatively charged ion (1-), so they
cancel each other out.

Two objects of different masses are sitting on different balance scales. Object A has a greater mass than object B. How will the
kodGreya [7K]

As long as they're both on the same planet, the greater mass always has the greater weight.  In this question, Object-A has the greater mass, so it weighs more that Object-B does.

Show that the optimal launch angle for a projectile subject to gravity is 45o by carrying out the following steps: 6. Write down
Lorico [155]

Answer:

sin  2θ = 1    θ=45

Explanation:

They ask us to prove that the optimal launch angle is 45º, for this by reviewing the parabolic launch equations we have the scope equation

            R = Vo² sin 2θ / g

Where R is the horizontal range, Vo is the initial velocity, g the acceleration of gravity and θ the launch angle. From this equation we see that the sine function is maximum 2θ = 90 since sin 90 = 1 which implies that θ = 45º; This proves that this is the optimum angle to have the maximum range.

We calculate the distance traveled for different angle

          R = vo² Sin (2 15) /9.8

          R = Vo² 0.051 m

In the table are all values ​​in two ways

Angle (θ)                  distance R (x)

 0                 0                     0

15                 0.051 Vo²        0.5 Vo²/g

30                0.088 vo²        0.866   Vo²/g

45                0.102 Vo²        1   Vo²/g

60                0.088 Vo²      0.866   Vo²/g

75                0.051 vo²        0.5   Vo²/g

90                0                     0

See graphic ( R Vs θ)  in the attached ¡, it can be done with any program, for example EXCEL

When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons a) are random b) vary with the frequency o
jekas [21]

Answer:

b) vary with the frequency of the light

Explanation:

The phone electric effect can be expressed as

K.E=(hv -W•)

Where K.E is the Kinectic energy

W• = work function of the metal

ν =frequency of the radiation

h = Planck's constat

Then, we can see that K.E is proportional linearly to "v" in the equation above.

Therefore, When light is directed on a metal surface, the kinetic energies of the photoelectrons vary with the frequency of the light
