If a river current is 8.0 m/s, and a boat is traveling 10.0 m/s upstream, what is the boat’s speed relative to the riverbank?

Answer:

The relative speed of the boat is found to be - 2 m/s or 2 m/s in opposite direction to the river current.

Explanation:

Let us, consider the direction of river as the reference of positive direction. Hence,

Speed of River = Vr = 8 m/s

Since, the boat is traveling upstream. The upstream direction means that the boat is traveling in the opposite direction of the river current. Therefore, its direction will be negative. Hence,

Speed of boat = Vb = - 10 m/s

Now, the relative speed will be the vector sum of both speeds, with relative directions:

Relative Speed = V = Vr + Vb

V = 8 m/s - 10 m/s

<u>V = - 2 m/s</u>

This shows that the magnitude of speed of boat is 2 m/s and its direction will be opposite to that of river current.

A car travels 60 miles due West first then turns back and travels 120 miles due East in 3 hours. What is...
ella [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by  subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

Does the sun sun traces shortest path across local sky on june solstice
viktelen [127]
The June solstice in the Northern hemisphere is the summer solstice. The June Solstice in the Southern hemisphere is the winter solstice. The summer solstice is equivalent to the longest day while the winter solstice is equivalent to the shortest day. Therefore on the local sky, when is the June solstice we have have the longest day (longest path of sun in the sky) in the Northern hemisphere and the shortest day (shortest path of sun in the sky) in the Southern hemisphere.

You plan to take your hair blower to europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 v instead of the 120 v seen in the united
Dmitrij [34]
P = U × I
I = P / U = 1600W / 120V = 13.4A
P = 240V × 13.4A = 3216W

If your hair blower isnt rated for 220- 230V(this is the voltage in EU) you are most likely going to burn it.
