Cause it’s denser at the bottom
Answer: 2.19 seconds
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
Initial speed, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration of the boat, a = 5 m/s^2
Distance between the boat and dock, d = 12 m
Using the third kinematics equation to solve for time:
d = u*t + (1/2)*a*t^2
12 = 0*t + (1/2)*5*t^2
t = sqrt (12*2/5)
t = 2.19 seconds
Therefore, it will take the boat approximately 2.19 seconds to reach the dock
We will measure all angles from West, the negative x-axis and divide the journey into 3 parts:
P1 = 370y
P2 = 410cos(45)x + 410sin(45)y = 290x + 290y
P3 = 370cos(270 - 28)x + 370sin(270 - 28) = -174x - 327y
Overall displacement:
x = 290 - 174 = 116 m
y = 370 + 290 - 327 = 333 m
displacement = √(116² + 333²)
= 353 m
Direction:
tan(∅) = y/x
∅ = tan⁻¹ (333 / 116)
∅ = 70.8° from West.
