1) Let's call
the speed of the southbound boat, and
the speed of the eastbound boat, which is 3 mph faster than the southbound boat. We can write the law of motion for the two boats:
2) After a time
, the two boats are
apart. Using the laws of motion written at step 1, we can write the distance the two boats covered:
The two boats travelled in perpendicular directions. Therefore, we can imagine the distance between them (45 mi) being the hypotenuse of a triangle, of which
and
are the two sides. Therefore, we can use Pythagorean theorem and write:
Solving this, we find two solutions. Discarding the negative solution, we have
, which is the speed of the southbound boat.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
b. increased frequency and severity of forest fires
Because of the Global warming the forest fires have increased drastically. The recent fire in Amazon rain forest is an example of this. These burning forests emit a large amount of CO2 yet again and further causing more global warming. According a a recent data it is estimated that forest fire emit about 8 million tons of CO2 in the atmosphere in last 20 years. In,2017 total global CO2 emission has reached to 32.5 billion tons, according to IEA.
Power (watts) = work done (joules) ÷ time (seconds)
power (watts) = 1000J ÷ 20s
power (watts) = 50w
A tiltmeter is an object to measure small movements.
4800 meters, because 40 meters per second, 40x120=4800
