Answer:
0.557 s
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 5.46 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Find: t
v = at + v₀
0 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.46 m/s
t = 0.557 s
Construct a vector diagram. It will be a right-angled triangle. One vector (the hypotenuse) represents the heading of the boat, one represents the current and one represents the resultant speed of the boat, which I'll call x. Their magnitudes are 20, 3 and x. Let the required angle = theta. We have:
<span>theta = arcsin(3/20) = approx. 8.63° </span>
<span>The boat should head against the current in a direction approx. 8.63° to the line connecting the dock with the point opposite, or approx. 81.37° to the shore line. </span>
<span>x = sqrt(20^2 - 3^2) </span>
<span>= sqrt(400 - 9) </span>
<span>= sqrt 391 </span>
<span>The boat's crossing time = </span>
<span>0.5 km/(sqrt 391 km/hr) </span>
<span>= (0.5/sqrt 391) hr </span>
<span>= approx. 0.025 hr </span>
<span>= approx. 91 seconds</span>
I'm not from that school but I can help you.
Answer:
Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth
