Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

  • If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
  • vps = vbr + vrs
  • As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
  • vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb

Four complete waves pass the duck in one second the frequency of this wave is
galben [10]
The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations passing a given point per second.

In this case, assuming the duck is stationary, we have 4 complete waves passing the duck in one second: therefore, the frequency of the wave is
f= \frac{4}{1 s}=4 Hz

Which of the following is true about Viscosity of liquids:
White raven [17]
Viscosity of liquids is essentially the 'thickness' of the liquid. For instance, honey and water have different viscosities. Honey has a higher one and therefore, liquids with high viscosity do not flow as well as liquids with low viscosity (water).

The angular velocity of a flywheel obeys the equa tion w(1) A Br2, where t is in seconds and A and B are con stants having numer
makkiz [27]

Answer:

A \to rad/s

B  \to rad/s^3

Explanation:

\omega_z(t)=A + Bt^2

Required

The units of A and B

From the question, we understand that:

\omega_z(t) \to rad/s

This implies that each of A and Bt^2 will have the same unit as \omega_z(t)

So, we have:

A \to rad/s

Bt^2 \to rad/s

The unit of t is (s); So, the expression becomes

B * s^2 \to rad/s

Divide both sides by s^2

B  \to \frac{rad/s}{s^2}

B  \to rad/s^3

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree is
charle [14.2K]
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material to one degree is called D. its heat capacity.

The relationship of the heat when applied to the object and the change in temperature of the object when heat is being applied is directly proportional to each other. This means that when heat is applied to the object, the temperature of the object increases and when heat is not applied to the object, the temperature of the object decreases.

How is force related to math
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between force and acceleration. They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.
