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

EARTH SCIENCE PLEASE ANSWER

The Earth Science answers are shown below.

Explanation:

1. The movement of the sun will change the angle it has on the sky in 30 minutes, it is always moving from the east to the west, so in 30 minutes it would move more west, no matter at what time you make the experiment. From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles

2. No, both marks are the same distance from the ground.  the amount of stick above the mark will not affect the distance that the shadow of the mark moves at all. The Sun's clockwise motion is an apparent motion caused by the rotation of the Earth. The counterclockwise rotation of the Earth in the Sun's light causes the shadow of the gnomon to move clockwise. As the Sun appears to move higher above the horizon before solar noon, the shadow grows shorter and shorter.

3. In the summer the shadows are shorter, and in the winter the shadows are longer. In the morning your shadow will point west and in the afternoon it will point east. If your shadow is long, it is near sunrise or sunset. Your shadow is shortest around noon.

4. If the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, then the Earth should rotate in the opposite direction from west to east (anti-clockwise). Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

W =84.6\ Nm

Explanation:

given,

F = 14.1 i + 0 j + 5.1 k

displacement = 6 m

Assuming block is moving in x- direction

we know,

 dW = F dx

\int dW = F\int dx

W = F\int_0^6 dx

W = F[x]_0^6

W = 14.1 \times 6

W =84.6\ Nm

hence, work done by the force is equal to W =84.6\ Nm
