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

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

the waves in the sea,  leaves of the trees, cables in the bridges, pendulum clock

Explanation:

In nature there are many examples of simple harmonic motion, for example.

* The movement of the waves in the sea is an oscillation movement up and down

* The movement of the leaves of the trees when a wind blows and then stops, but the leaf and branches are oscillating

* The movement of the cables in the bridges, especially in the suspension bridges

* The movement of a pendulum clock

Speed is the ratio of the distance an object moves to
guajiro [1.7K]
A - the amount of time needed to travel the distance

The formula for speed is distance/time and the unit is m/s. Therefore you divide the distance travelled by the time it took to travel it.
