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

A 4.00-kg particle moves along the x axis. Its position varies with time according to x 5 t 1 2.0t 3, where x is in meters and t
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given equation is ,

x =t + 2 t³ ,

dx/dt = velocity ( v ) = 1 + 6 t²

a) kinetic energy = 1/2 m v² = .5 x 4 ( 1 + 6 t² )² = 2 ( 1 + 6 t²)²

b ) Acceleration = dv /dt = 12 t .

force( F ) = mass x acceleration = 4 x 12 t = 48 t

Power = force x velocity = 48 t x ( 1 + 6 t²). = 48 t + 288 t³ )

work done = ∫ F dx =∫ 48 t x( 1 + 6t² )dt ; =  [48t²/2 + 48 x 6 x t³ /3 = 24 t² + 96 t³ )]₀² =  864 J

James and Juan were at the highest point in the football stadium, dropping water balloons on people below. Many of the balloons
Fofino [41]
When you add more water to the balloon, it makes it heavier. Therefore it would weigh the balloon down ( increasing mass) and increasing the energy to plummet down. So the answer is B.

When a wire is made thicker its resistance what?
NeTakaya
Making a wire thicker has the same effect as making a road wider. It makes it easier for the electron traffic to flow. The resistance decreases, and the current (traffic) increases.
