Answer:

The actual speed of the rain is 5 m/s and its direction is -53.13°

Explanation:

The actual speed of the rain V = speed of man, v + speed of rain relative to man, v'.

V = v + v'

We add these vectorially.

Since the man's speed is 3 m/s east, in the positive x - direction, we have v = 3i  and the rain's speed is falling vertically at 4 m/s, in the negative y- direction, we have v' = -4j

So, V = v + v'

V = 3i + (-4j)

V = 3i - 4j

So, the magnitude of V which is its speed is V = √(3² + (-4)²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 m/s

The direction of V, Ф = tan⁻¹(vertical component/horizontal component) = tan⁻¹(-4/3) = tan⁻¹(-4/3) = tan⁻¹(-1.333) = -53.13°

So, the actual speed of the rain is 5 m/s and its direction is -53.13°

How much force is required to accelerate a 5 kg mass at 20 m/s^2
Studentka2010 [4]

Hello!

\large\boxed{F = 100N}

Use the equation F = m · a (Newton's Second Law) to solve. Substitute in the given values:

F = 5 · 20

F = 100N

There is a 90 kg woman attached at the end of a bungee cord (k = 35 N/m) that is experiencing simple harmonic motion. How long d
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The value is T  =10.1 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the woman is  m  = 90 \  kg  

    The spring constant of the bungee cord is  k  =  35 \  N/  m

Generally the period of the oscillation (i,e time taken to complete on  cycle ) is mathematically represented as

            T  = 2 \pi *  \sqrt{ \frac{m}{k} }

=>      T  = 2 * 3.142  *  \sqrt{ \frac{90 }{ 35} }

=>      T  =10.1 \ s
