Answer:

86.51° North of West or 273.49°

Explanation:

Let V' = velocity of boat relative to the earth, v = velocity of boat relative to water and V = velocity of water.

Now, by vector addition V' = V + v'.

Since v' = 6.10 m/s in the north direction, v' = (6.10 m/s)j and V = 100 m/s in the east direction, V = (100 m/s)i. So that

V' = V + v'

V' =   (100 m/s)i + (6.10 m/s)j

So, we find the direction,Ф the boat must steer to from the components of V'.

So tanФ = 6.10 m/s ÷ 100 m/s

tanФ = 0.061

Ф = tan⁻¹(0.061) = 3.49°

So, the angle from the north is thus 90° - 3.49° = 86.51° North of West or 270° + 3.49° = 273.49°

A battery charger can produce 3A at 12 Volt and charges a battery fer 2 hr. Calculate work in KJ.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer: 259.2 KJ

Explanation:

The formula calculate work don in a circuit is given by :-

W=QV, where Q is charge and V is the potential difference.

The formula to calculate charge in circuit :-

Q=It, where I is current and t is time.

Given : Current : I=3A

Potential difference : V=12\ V

Time : t=2\ hr=2(3600)\text{ seconds}=7200\text{ seconds}

Now, Q=3(7200)=21,600\ C

Then,  W=(21600)(12)=259,200\text{ Joules}=259.2\text{ KJ}

Hence, the work done = 259.2 KJ

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not n
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

because the mass of the apple is very less compared to the mass of earth. Due to less mass the apple cannot produce noticable acceleration in the earth but the earth which has more mass produces noticable acceleration in the apple. thus we can see apple falling on towards the earth but we cannot see earth moving towards the apple.
