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

kirza4 [7]

At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both  spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;

A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20

B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10

Given that t = 0 in both cases;

vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20

vA = 20 m/s

For vB

vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10

vB = 10 m/s

We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?

Ivenika [448]
In thermodynamics, work of a system at constant pressure conditions is equal to the product of the pressure and the change in volume. It is expressed as follows:

W = P(V2 - V1)
W = 1.3x10^5 (2x6 - 6 )

The width of the central maxima, formed from light of wavelength 575 nm behind a single slit that has a width of 115 μm, is 1.15
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

 L  = 1.15 m

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation

        a sin θ = m λ

Where a is the width of the slit, λ  the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.

The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

          tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ

We substitute in the first equation

           a (y / L) = m λ

The first maximum occurs for m = 1

The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is

         y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm

         y = 0.575 10⁻² m

Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)

       L = a y / λ  

Let's calculate

     L = 115 10⁻⁶  0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹

     L  = 1.15 m
