Answer:

(a) The speed is 7.96 m/s

(b) The direction is 76 degree from positive X axis in counter clockwise direction.  

Explanation:

Width of river = 280 m

speed of river, vR = 4.7 m/s towards east

speed of boat with respect to water, v(B,R) = 7.1 m/s at 26 degree west of north

vR = 4.7 i \\\\v(B,R) = 7.1 (- sin 26 i + cos 26 j) = - 3.1 i + 6.4 j

(a) The velocity of boat with respect to ground is

\overrightarrow{v}_{(B,R)}=\overrightarrow{v}_{(B,G)}-\overrightarrow{v}_{(R,G)}\\\\- 3.1 \widehat{i} +6.4 \widehat{j}=\overrightarrow{v}_{(B,G)} - 4.7 \widehat{i}\\\\\overrightarrow{v}_{(B,G)} = 1.6 \widehat{i} + 6.4 \widehat{j}\\\\{v}_{(B,G)} = \sqrt{1.6^2 + 6.4^2}=6.96 m/s

(b) The direction is given  by

tan\theta = \frac{6.4}{1.6} =4\\\\\theta = 76^o

Two particles, with charges of 20.0 nC and -20.0 nC, are fixed at points with coordinates <0, 4.00 cm> and <0, -4.00 cm
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy of the system of charges

=  9 x 10⁹ x [  q₁q₂ / r₁₂ +  q₂q₃ / r₂₃ +  q₁q₃ / r₁₃ ]

here  r₁₂ ,  r₂₃ , r₁₃ are distance between 1 st and 2 nd charge , 2 nd and 3 rd charge and fist and third charge.

r₁₂ = 8 cm , r₂₃ = 4 cm , r₁₃ = 4 cm.

q₁ = 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₂ = - 20 x 10⁻⁹ C , q₃ = 10 x 10⁻⁹ C

Potential energy  =  9 x 10⁹ x [ - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08  +  -200x10⁻¹⁸ / .04 +  200 x 10¹⁸ / .04 ]

= 9 x 10⁹  x  - 400 x 10⁻¹⁸ / .08

= 45 x 10⁻⁶ J .

b)

Potential at the point of fourth charge due to three charges of 20 nC , - 20 nC and 10 nC at the centre

9 x 10⁹ [ 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + - 20 x 10⁻⁹ / .05 + 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03 ]

= 9 x 10⁹ x 10 x 10⁻⁹ / .03

= 3000 V .

potential energy of fourth particle = charge x potential

= 3000 x 40 x 10⁻⁹ = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J .

kinetic energy at infinity = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

1/2 m v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵ J

.5 x 2 x 10⁻¹³ x v² = 12 x 10⁻⁵

v² = 12 x 10⁸

v = 3.46 x 10⁴ m/s

= 9 x 10⁹

When Bella pushes a box with a mass of 5.25 kilograms with a force of 15.75 newtons, it accelerates at a rate of 2.5 meters/seco
Mariana [72]

Sure !

Start with Newton's second law of motion:

                     Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

This formula is so useful, and so easy, that you really
should memorize it.

Now, watch:

The mass of the box is 5.25 kilograms, and the box is
accelerating at the rate of  2.5 m/s² .
What's the net force on the box ?

                    Net Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                     = (5.25 kilograms) x (2.5 m/s²)

                     Net force =       13.125 newtons .

But hold up, hee haw, whoa !  Wait a second !
Bella is pushing with a force of 15.75 newtons, but the box
is accelerating as if the force on it is only 13.125 newtons.
What happened to the rest of Bella's force ? ?

==>  Friction is pushing the box in the opposite direction,
and cancelling some of Bella's force.

How much ?

            (Bella's 15.75 newtons) minus (13.125 that the box feels)

           =      2.625 newtons backwards, applied by friction.

What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes
taurus [48]

Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

The rate at which velocity changes is the definition of the physical quantity called acceleration, and it is given by the formula: a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}

where \Delta t is the time that took to change from the initial velocity v_i to the final velocity v_f

azamat
No. the answer to the question if can an argon atom undergo vibrational motion is no. it can not even spin either. the argon atom, or the argon is a chemical element that is the third most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere. it is ore than twice as abundance as water vapor. Thank you for this question.

Describe a life cycle of a star
vagabundo [1.1K]
Planetary Nebula are the outer layers of a star that are lost when the star changes from a red giant to a white dwarf. A star is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. Is this what you needed?
