This is the concept of trigonometry, the direction of the John will be given by:
tan theta=opposite/adjacent
suppose:
a=theta
opposite=4 mph
adjacent=5.5 mph
tan a=4/5.5
a=tan^-1(4/5.5)
a=36
therefore the boat canoe will be moving 36 degrees from East, his direction will be 126 degrees south east

A boat having stones floats in water. If stones are unloaded in water, what will happen to the level of water?​
Pani-rosa [81]

Explanation:

If the stones are unloaded from the boat, the weight of the boat will decrease. Therefore, the volume of the water displaced by the boat will also decrease. Due to this, the volume of the boat immersed in the water decreases. Hence, the level of the water around the boat will decrease.

Two blocks, A and B, are connected by a rope. A second rope is connected to block B and a steady, horizontal tension force of T
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed of system is constant

Therefore, acceleration=a=0

Tension applied on block B=T=50 N

Friction force=f=10 N

We have to find the friction force acting on block A.

Let T' be the tension in string connecting block A and block B and friction force on block A be f'.

For Block B

T-f-T'=m_Ba

Where m_B=Mass of block B

Substitute the values

50-10-T'=m_B\times 0=0

T'==40 N

For block A

T'-f'=m_Aa

Where m_A=Mass of block A

Substitute the values

40-f'=m_A\times 0=0

f'=40 N

Hence, the friction force acting on block A=40 N

You set a small eraser at a distance of 0.27 m from the center of a turntable you find in the attic and establish that when the
Licemer1 [7]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Distance,r=0.27 m

Tangential speed=v=0.49 m/s

a.Angular speed ,\omega=\frac{v}{r}

Using the formula

\omega=\frac{0.49}{0.27}=1.8 rad/s

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}

Time period,T=\frac{2\pi}{1.8}=3.49 s

b.Amplitude,A=Distance of small eraser from the center of a turnable =0.27 m

c.Maximum speed,V_{max}=0.49 m/s

d.Maximum acceleration=a=r\omega^2=0.27(1.8)^2=0.87 m/s^2
