A river flows due east at 1.70 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v

elocity of 14.0 m/s due north relative to the water.
(a) What is the velocity of the boat relative to shore?
m/s
° (north of east)

(b) If the river is 340 m wide, how far downstream has the boat moved by the time it reaches the north shore in meters?

Answer:

a)

v = 14.1028 m/s  

∅ = 83.0765° north of east

b)

the required distance is 40.98 m

Explanation:

Given that;

velocity of the river u = 1.70 m/s

velocity of boat v = 14.0 m/s

Now to get the velocity of the boat relative to shore;

( north of east), we say

a² + b² = c²

(1.70)² + (14.0)² = c²

2.89 + 196 = c²

198.89 = c²

c = √198.89

c = 14.1028 m/s  

tan∅ = v/u = 14 / 1.7 =  8.23529

∅ = tan⁻¹ ( 8.23529 ) = 83.0765° north of east

Therefore, the velocity of the boat relative to shore is;

v = 14.1028 m/s  

∅ = 83.0765° north of east

b)  

width of river = 340 m,

ow far downstream has the boat moved by the time it reaches the north shore in meters = ?

we say;

340sin( 90° - 83.0765°)

⇒ 340sin( 6.9235°)

= 40.98 m

Therefore, the required distance is 40.98 m

An object dropped from rest from the top of a tall building on planet x falls a distance d(t)18 left parenthesis t right parenth
melamori03 [73]

displacement is given by equation

d = 18t^2

now at t = 5 s the position is

d_1 = 18 *5^2 = 450 m

similarly position at t = 9 s

d_2 = 18*9^2 = 1458 m

so the displacement of object in given interval of time will be

d = 1458 - 450 = 1008 m

time interval

\delta t = 9 - 5 = 4 s

now the average velocity will be given as

v = \frac{\delta x}{\delta t}

v = \frac{1008}{4} = 252 m/s

so its average speed is 252 m/s

Someone help me with these two questions ASAP!!!
Sonbull [250]

For the first question it is the fourth option. Cryosphere is a term for the portions of earth that are covered in water when the water is in solid form. this includes both snow and ice.

For the second question the answer is a delta is formed at the mouth of the river a sediment is carried down stream. The hydrosphere refers to all water on earth.

An object has a mass of 13.5 kilograms. What force is required to accelerate it to a rate of 9.5 m/s2?
Zigmanuir [339]
Force can be expressed as the product of mass and acceleration. Mathematically, that's F = m(a). Plugging the given into the equation, we have F = (13.5 kg)(9.5 m/s²) = 128.3 kg.m/s² or 128.3 N<span>. </span>
