The weight of the box is 50x9.8 = 490 N. The force of friction is 100N. F= μΝ so coefficient = 100/490 = 0.20
Vt = Vboat - Vriver
Vt = 18 - 2.5 = 15.5 m/s
If the boat's direction is the same as the water, you sum the velocities of the river and the boat .
Answer:
t = 0.33h = 1200s
x = 18.33 km
Explanation:
If the origin of coordinates is at the second car, you can write the following equations for both cars:
car 1:
(1)
xo = 10 km
v1 = 55km/h
car 2:
(2)
v2 = 85km/h
For a specific value of time t the positions of both cars are equal, that is, x=x'. You equal equations (1) and (2) and solve for t:


The position in which both cars coincides is:
