Answer:

3.29 s

Explanation:

Using v = u + at where u = initial velocity of boat = 0 m/s since it starts at rest, v = final velocity of boat = 56 m/s, a = acceleration of boat = 17 m/s² and t = time taken to accelerate to 56 m/s.

So, v -= u + at

t = (v - u)/a

substituting the values of the variables, we have

t = (56 m/s - 0 m/s)/17 m/s²

= 56 m/s ÷ 17 m/s²

= 3.29 s

It will take the boat 3.29 s to accelerate to 56 m/s at an acceleration of 17 m/s²

According to a rule-of-thumb. every five seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the f

Bond [772]

Answer:

$S_{s}=300 m/s$

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Explanation:

In order to use the rule of thumb to find the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to use some conversion ratios. We know there is 1 mile per every 5 seconds after the lightning is seen. We also know that there are 5280ft in 1 mile and we also know that there are 0.3048m in 1ft. This is enough information to solve this problem. We set our conversion ratios like this:

$\frac{1mi}{5s}*\frac{5280ft}{1mi}*\frac{0.3048m}{1ft}=321.87m/s$

notice how the ratios were written in such a way that the units got cancelled when calculating them. Notice that in one ratio the miles were on the numerator of the fraction while on the other they were on the denominator, which allows us to cancel them. The same happened with the feet.

The problem asks us to express the answer to one significant figure so the speed of sound rounds to 300m/s.

For the second part of the problem we need to use conversions again. This time we will write our ratios backwards and take into account that there are 1000m to 1 km, so we get:

$\frac{5s}{1mi}*\frac{1mi}{5280ft}*\frac{1ft}{0.3048m}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=3.11s/km$

This means that for every 3.11s there will be a distance of 1km from the place where the lightning stroke. Since this is a rule of thumb, we round to the nearest integer for the calculations to be made easily, so the rule goes like this:

The rule for kilometers is that every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

The pressure on a volume of liquid V = 1.0 mº at the surface is approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure Patm = 1.00 x 10

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:-2.86*10⁻⁴

Explanation: Use the equation change in volume = (change in pressure * original volume) / Bulks Modulus. ΔV = (-Δp*V₀) / B

Plugging in your numbers, you should get ΔV = (-2.29*10⁷*1) / (8*10¹⁰) = -2.86*10⁻⁴

ΔP = P₂-P₁ ----> ΔP = 2.30*10⁷ - 1.00*10⁵ = 2.29*10⁷

A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

part (a) $v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o$ towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

velocity of the river due to east = $v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.$
velocity of the boat due to the north = $v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.$

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are $90^o$

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

$\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.$

Let $\theta$ be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore. $\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o$

part (b)

Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river. $\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s$

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river $\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m$
