Answer:

17.46° W of N

Explanation:

His prow must point westward so that the westward component of his total velocity is equal to the eastward river speed.

3 = 10sinθ

sinθ = 3/10

θ = 17.4576... or about 17.46° W of N

it will take him 5 / 10cos17.46 = 0.52414... hrs. or about 31 min 27 s to cross.

calculate the force between two objects that have masses of 20 kg and 100 kg separated by a distance of 2.6 m
olga55 [171]

The gravitational force between the objects is 1.97\cdot 10^{-8} N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

For the two objects in this problem:

m_1 = 20 kg\\m_2 = 100 kg

And their distance is

r = 2.6 m

So, the gravitational force between them is

F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(20)(100)}{2.6^2}=1.97\cdot 10^{-8} N

Which statement correctly describes the differences between positive and negative acceleration?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: c) Positive acceleration describes an increase in speed; negative acceleration describes a decrease in speed.

Hey

On Earth, you can move or you can not move. if you are moving 50 mph that means relative to Earth (not the Andromeda galaxy). When you start moving (accelerating) you are now moving relative to Earth. when you start slowing down (decelerating [most scientists just say you have negative acceleration]) you are starting to match your velocity to Earth's velocity.

Hope it helped and made any sence at all.

Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field
nirvana33 [79]
A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
  Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.
