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

Helen [10]

Answer:

P = 0.25 W

Explanation:

Given that,

The emf of the battry, E = 2 V

The resistance of a bulb, R = 16 ohms

We need to find the power delivered to the bulb. We know that, the formula for the power delivered is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\P=\dfrac{2^2}{16}\\\\=0.25\ W

So, 0.25 W power is delivered to the bulb.

A piece of wood that floats on water has a mass of 0.0175 kg. A lead weight is tied to the wood, and the apparent mass with the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Specific gravity is 0.56

Explanation:

We know that

mass of water displaced by the wood is, m1( apparent mass when wood in air and lead is submerged in water) - m2(the apparent mass when wood and lead both are submerged in water)

= 0.0765 - 0.0452 = 0.0313 Kg

So the specific gravity of the wood is, = mass of wood / mass of water displaced by the wood

= 0.0175/0.0313

=0.56

Calculate its average speed in meters per second

Answer:

5.77 m/s

Explanation:

Speed= Distance/Time

Distance= 40+ half of 40= 40+20= 60 m

Time= 8.8+1.6=10.4 s

Average speed= 60/10.4=5.769230769  m/s

Approximately, the average speed is 5.77 m/s

the atlantic torpedo is a large electric fish capable of generating a voltage of 220V between its tail and its head. This drives
Elza [17]
The average power output:
P = V * I * t
V = 220 V, I = 15 A;
t = 2 ms * 200 = 400 ms = 0.4 s
P = 220 V * 15 A * 0.4 s
P = 1320 W ≈ 1.3 kW
Answer:
b. 1.3 kW
