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

a vector is 253 m long and points in a 55.8 degree direction, what’s the y and x- component of the vector?
BartSMP [9]

Well we know the hypotenuse of the triangle which is 253 m. And we know the angle of the triangle which is 55.8 degrees. So we want to find y. And to find y we use sin. And sin is a ratio, the ratio of the opposite leg, and hypotenuse. So sin(55.8) = y/253. Now we solve for y by multiplying both sides by 253. And finally we get 209.25 as the length of the y component.

The period of the earth around the sun is 1 year and its distance is 150 million km from the sun. An asteroid in a circular orbi
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

5.024 years

Explanation:

T1 = 1 year

r1 = 150 million km

r2 = 440 million km

let the period of asteroid orbit is T2.

Use Kepler's third law

T² ∝ r³

So,

\left ( \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} \right )^2=\left ( \frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} \right )^3

\left ( \frac{T_{2}}{1} \right )^2=\left ( \frac{440}{150} \right )^3

T2 = 5.024 years

Thus, the period of the asteroid's orbit is 5.024 years.

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg

Mass of the truck, m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg

Initial velocity of the car, u_1=22\ m/s

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2    

v_2=15.7\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).
