To reach its intended destination on time a cruise ship needs to travel north at 70 mph. However, it is travelling in the Gulf o

f Mexico where there is a Gulf Stream current of 12 mph in the direction S25oE. At what speed and direction does the captain need to aim the boat so that the result takes them due north at the required 70 mph

Answer:

speed is 81.03 mph

direction is N 3.58 W

Explanation:

given data

travel north = 70 mph

Stream current = 12 mph

direction = S 25° E

result due north = 70 mph

to find out

speed and direction

solution

we will get component of resultant  that is

v cosθ  and v sinθ

so

( 12cos295 , 12 sin295 )    at ( 0, 70)

as that we can say

v sinθ + 12sin295 = 70      ....................1

v cosθ + 12 cos295  = 0     ......................2

so

vcosθ  = -5.0714

vsinθ = 80.8756

now by ratio

cosθ /sinθ  = -5.0714/ 80.8756

cot θ = -0.0627

θ = 93.58

so direction is N 3.58 W

and

we know

vcosθ  = - 12cos295

v = - 12cos295 / cos(93.58)

v = 81.03 mph

so speed is 81.03 mph

Two balls of equal mass are thrown horizontally with the same initial velocity. They hit identical stationary boxes resting on a
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The box 1 moves faster.

Explanation:

lets

Mass =m  kg

Initial velocity = u m/s

Initial velocity of box = 0 m/s

Let stake mass of block = m

When ball bounces back:

The final speed of the box = v

Final speed of ball = - u

Pi = Pf  ( From linear momentum conservation)

m x u + m x 0 = m ( - u) + m v

mu + mu = m v

v= 2 u

When ball get stuck :

The final speed of ball and box = v

Pi = Pf  ( From linear momentum conservation)

m x u + m x 0 = (m+m) v

v= u /2

So the box 1 moves faster.

an object 50 cm high is placed 1 m in front of a converging lens whose focal length is 1.5 m. determine the image height (in cm)
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Given :

An object 50 cm high is placed 1 m in front of a converging lens whose focal length is 1.5 m.

To Find :

the image height (in cm).

Solution :

By lens formula :

\dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{u} = \dfrac{1}{f}

Here, u = - 100 cm

f =  150 cm

\dfrac{1}{v} - \dfrac{1}{-100} = \dfrac{1}{150}\\\\v = - 300 \ cm

Now, magnification is given by :

m = \dfrac{v}{u} = \dfrac{h_i}{h_o}\\\\h_i = \dfrac{300}{100}\times 1\\\\h_i = 3 \ m

Therefore, the image height is 3 m or 300 cm.

A person sitting still in a moving airplane is considered to be... (SP1a) a. Motionless in relation to everything in the plane.
vichka [17]

Answer:

C. Both a and b

Explanation:

Firstly, persons and objects in a moving plane as described in this question, are moving at the same speed as the plane even if there is no individual movement of these objects.

However, this question describes a person sitting still in a moving plane. This means that;

- The person is motionless in relation to everything in the plane i.e the person is not moving even if other things in the plane are.

- The person is in motion compared to everything on the ground i.e. the person is moving at the same speed as the plane, hence, in comparison with the ground, the person is moving.

Therefore, options A and B are correct
