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.

If the boat is i travling at 10 m/s and the river is 8.0 m/s the boats speed is 18.0 m/s

A box of books has _______inertia than a box of cotton balls.
White raven [17]

Talking about a quantity of inertia is exactly the same as talking about a quantity of mass.  So, if the boxes are anywhere near the same size, then the box of books has <u><em>more</em></u> inertia than the box of cotton balls, because books have more mass than an identical volume of cotton.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer

The true fact is that C is what happens in outer space.  Both rotations take 27.3 days.  

A: The exact opposite is true. It does rotate about it's axis.

B: Again this is just plain false. Given the way we observe it, the moon must be rotating around the earth.

D. they don't. 27.3 hours and 24 hours are not the same.

A line of dominos is knocked down. Which explanation is true?
Llana [10]

B: an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.

This is based on the concept of force on an object.

Now, formula for force is commonly known as;

Force = mass × acceleration

Now, mass and acceleration are the input values that make the output which is the Force to either increase or decrease.

  • Now, for the line of dominoes to fall, it means that the force was so overwhelming that the dominoes couldn't resist it.

Now, this output which is the force became so much as a result of the increase in acceleration of the motion that triggered its movement.

Moreover, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration!

Thus, we can say that an increase in acceleration caused an increase in force.
