A boat is headed with a velocity of 18 meters/second toward the west with respect to the water in a river. If the river is flowi

ng with a velocity of 2.5 meters/second in the same direction as the boat. What would be the magnitude of the boat’s velocity?

If the boat's velocity is 18m/sec relative to the water in the river and not the shore, it would need to be added the river speed of 2.5m/sec to get a total of 20.5m/sec. The 20.5m/sec would then be the total velocity of the boat relative to the shore. From personal experience, I know that when one runs with the tide, one is adding the tide flow speed to one's boat speed (what it would be in neutral waters) to get a sometimes much faster speed.

Calculate the speed of a car that travels a distance of 2.4km in 2 minutes ​
hammer [34]

Answer:

72 kilometres per hour

Explanation:

The formula for calculating speed is distance/time.

So to work this out you would convert 2 minutes into hours. You would divide 2 by 60 to convert it into hours. This is because the standard unit for speed with kilometres is kilometres per hour. Then  you would divide 2.4 by that.

1)Divide 2 by 60:

2/60=0.0333333

2) Divide 2.4 by 0.0333333.

2.4/0.0333333=72.00007

3) Round it.

72km/h

Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

From the data we know that runner A and runner B are 11 km apart from the start because (6+5) km

So the runner from the east direction has distance as unknown km, rate= 9 k/h ; time= d/r=x/9 hr

So runner towards the west will be

distance = 11-x, rate= 8 k/h, time = d/r = (11-x)/8

So equating east and west time we have

x/9= (11-x)/8

8x=99-9x

17x=99

x=5.92 km

That is the distance covered by runner towards the east and he will meet the runner toward the west at

6-5.92=0.08 km west of the flagpole.

In the Compton effect, the wavelength of the scattered photon is __________ the wavelength of the incident photon.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

he wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

Explanation:

The Compton effect is the scattering of a photon by an electron, this process is analyzed using the conservation of momentum, in which we assume that initially the electron is at rest and after the collision it recedes, therefore the energy of the incident photon decreases and consequently its wavelength changes

To complete the sentence we use the wavelength is different (greater) than the wavelength of the incident photon

lozanna [386]

Answer: Some conversions from one system of units to another need to be exact, without increasing or decreasing the precision of the first measurement. This is sometimes called soft conversion. It does not involve changing the physical configuration of the item being measured.
