Refer to the diagram shown below.

The velocity of the rain relative to the boy is given by
\vec{V}_{r/b} = \vec{V}_{r} - \vec{V}_{b}
in a vectorial sense as shown in the figure.

Given:
Vr = 3.3 m/s
Vb = 5 m/s

Use the Pythagorean to obtain
Vr/b = √(3.3² + 5²) = 6 m/s

The angle that Vr/b makes with due east is
θ = tan⁻¹ (3.3/5) = 33.4°
Answer:
The velocity of the rain with respect to the boy is 6 m/s.
The direction of the rain is 33.4° north of due east.

Igoryamba

Answer:

684J

Explanation:

So basically the formula for gravitational potential energy is Mass X Gravity X height. That is G.p.e = mgh

We don't have the mass but since we have the height, we multiply directly with the height since the quantity of weight is already given.

so G.p.e = 360 X 1.9 = 684J

Note that; The answer is in joules because g.p.e is work done.

Hope that was helpful!!

BigorU [14]
In electronics, the SI unit for current is Ampere. It is the amount of charge in Coulombs per unit time. It is named after the father of electrodynamics, Andre-Marie Ampere. Also, the current can be easily determined through the Ohm's Law, which states that current is equal to volts divided by the resistance. The answer is letter D.
