A man can row a boat at 4kmhr in still water. He rows the boat 2km upstream and 2 km back to his starting place in 2 hours. How fast is the stream flowing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2.83km/hr

Explanation:

Let stream flowing at the rat x km/hr

In still water

Speed of boat=4km/hr

Upstream speed=4-x

Downstream speed=4+x

Total time=2 hr

Time=Distance/speed

According to question

[tex]\frac{2}{4+x}+\frac{2}{4-x}=2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8-2x+8+2x}{(4+x)(4-x)}=2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{16}{4^2-x^2}=2[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex](a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2[/tex]

[tex]4^2-x^2=\frac{16}{2}[/tex]

[tex]16-x^2=8[/tex]

[tex]16-8=x^2[/tex]

[tex]8=x^2[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{8}=2.83km/hr[/tex]

Hence, the stream  is flowing at 2.83km/hr

From base camp, a park ranger drives 27 meters at 32 degrees East of North, then 40 meters at 58 degrees West of North, and finally 39 meters directly West in an attempt to rescue a lost hiker.

Answers

Answer:

R = 73.34 m,   θ = 37º North of West

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to find the distance traveled.

The best way to do this is with a Cartesian coordinate system, let's use a system where the x axis coincides with the West - East direction), to decompose the trajectories

First trajectory

distance d₁ = 27 m

Direction 32 East of North, this angle is measured from the vertical direction (y-axis)

           cos 32 = y₁ / d₁

           sin 32 = x₁ / d₁

           y₁ = d₁ cos 32

           x₁ = d₁ sin 32

           y₁ = 27 cos 32 = 22.90 m

           x₁ =  27 sin 32 = 14.31 m

second trajectories

distance d2 = 40 m

direction 58 West from North, the angle is measured with respect to the y axis, towards the negative side of the x axis

            cos 58 = y₂ / d₂

            sin 32 = x₂ / d₂

            y₂ = d₂ cos58

            x₂ = d₂ sin 58

            y₂ = 40 cos 58 = 21.20 m

            x₂ = 40 sin 58 = -33.92 m

The negative sign of the x coordinate is due to the fact that the displacement is towards the West (negative of the x axis)

third trajectory

distance d₃ = 39 m

West direction, negative part of x-axis

             x₃ = - 39 m

the total distance is

            = x₁ + x₂ + x₃

            X_{total}l = 14.30 - 33.92 -39

            X_{total}X_total = -58.6 m

           

            Y_{total} = y₁ + y₂

             Y_{total}= 22.90 + 21.20

             Y_{total} = 44.1 m

we give the result in the form of module and angle

we use the Pythagorean theorem

              R = [tex]\sqrt{X_{total}^2 + Y_{total}^2 }[/tex]

              R =\sqrt58.6^2 + 44.1^2 }

              R = 73.34 m

we use trigonometry

               tan θ =

               θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{  Y_{total} }{ X_{total} }

θ = tan⁻¹ \frac{ 44.1 }{ 58.6 } (44.1 / 58.6)

            θ = -37º

this angle is in the second quadrant, given in the form of cardinal coordinates is

              θ = 37º North of West

2. A car with mass 2,500 kg is travelling at 15 m/s. What is the car's kinetic energy?
a. 37,500 J
b. 563,000 J
c. 280,000 J
d. 350,000 J

Answers

Answer:

c, 280,000J

Explanation:

You should use the equation KE (Kinetic Energy) = [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]

m = 2500

v = 15

KE = [tex]\frac{1}{2} * 2500 * (15)^2\\[/tex]

KE = 281250 Joules.

This is consistent with the answer B, as all of the parameters given to you are rounded to 2 significant figures so naturally, the answer should also be rounded to 2 sig figs.

KE = 280,000 J

3. Why is static electricity not useful as a power

source?

A. Because electrons aren't transferred in bursts of

static electricity

B. Because all energy is released at once in static

electricity

C. Because static electricity is not a real form of

electricity

D. Because static electricity only occurs in lightning

Answers

The answer is B, because all energy is released at once in static electricity.

There’s a quizlet that mentions these questions, if you are having trouble. I’d suggest to give them a look.

Static electricity is not useful as a power source primarily because it releases all of its energy at once rather than providing a continuous and controlled flow of electrical energy. The correct answer is B.

When static electricity is discharged, such as in a spark or a sudden discharge of stored charge, it happens in a rapid and uncontrolled manner, resulting in a brief burst of energy rather than a steady and sustained flow.

Power sources typically require a continuous and controllable flow of electrical energy to be useful for various applications. Static electricity, in its nature, does not provide this continuous flow but instead releases energy in an instantaneous manner. Therefore, it is not suitable for most practical power needs and applications.

Option A is not correct because electrons can be transferred in bursts of static electricity. Option C is not correct because static electricity is a real form of electricity, even though it has unique characteristics. Option D is not correct because static electricity can occur in various circumstances, not just in lightning.

Therefore, Static electricity is not useful as a power source primarily because it releases all of its energy at once rather than providing a continuous and controlled flow of electrical energy. The correct answer is B.

A book is sitting on the dashboard of a car that is stopped at a traffic light as the car starts to move forward the book slides backward off the dashboard what does the book actually do

Answers

Answer:

The book remained in its state of rest before the car started to move forward as no direct force acted on it.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will continue in its present state of rest, or if it is in motion, will continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line unless aced upon by an external force. This tendency of a body to remain in its state of reset or uniform motion in a straight line is known as inertia and is directly proportional to the mass of the body. The more massive a body, the more inertia it possesses. Thus Newton's first law is also known as the law of inertia.

Considering the case of the book on the dashboard of a stationary car which suddenly starts to move. While the car is stopped at the traffic light, the dashboard where the book sits and the book are both at rest. When the car begins to move forward, the dashboard moves forward with it. However as the book is not a part of the car, no force is directly acting on it, so the book so it stays at rest due to its inertia.

Therefore, as the car is moving forward, the stationary book appears to move backward from the reference point of the car, sliding off the dashboard.

A 2500-kg car is being pushed up a hill at an angle of 35 degrees. Determine the gravitational

force pulling down on the car if it is accelerating up the hill at a rate of 5 m/s/s.

Answers

Answer:

The force that pulls the car down is Wₓ = 14052.6 N and the one that pushes the car up is F = 26552.6 N

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law, let's set a reference system where the x axis is parallel to the plane, in the adjoint we can see the forces in the system.

           sin  35 = Wₓ / W

            cos 35 = W_y / W

            Wₓ = W sin 35

            W_y = W cos 35

            Wₓ = 2500 9.8 sin 35

             Wₓ = 14052.6 N

let's write the equations for each axis

and

Y axis  

       N-W_y = 0

       N = W_y

X axis  

       F -Wₓ = m a

       F = Wₓ + m a = mg sin 35 + m a

       F = m (a + g sin 35)

   

let's calculate

       F = 2500 (5 + 9.8 sin 35)

       F = 26552.6 N

The force that pulls the car down is Wₓ = 14052.6 N and the one that pushes the car up is F = 26552.6 N

We can convert  this into a generic algebra equation by giving directions positive and negative values.

The 6 will be positive, and the 10 and 2 will be negative.

Add 10 and 2 to have 12.

6-12 = -6.

Therefore you have 6 newtons to the left (negative).

Take the force towards the right as positive (+6N) and towards the left as negative (-12N)
Add both as net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object
6N+(-12N)= -6N

What would happen to their basketballs? a) Only the basketball's speed would be changed b) Only the basketball's directions would be changed c) Both the basketball's speed and direction would change d) Neither the basketball's speed nor direction would change

Answers

Answer:

Option C, Both the basketball's speed and direction would change

Explanation:

When two objects travelling with certain speed interact with each their internal forces changes and hence their motion changes simultaneously.

In general cases it is said that momentum is conserved. Momentum is nothing but just the product of mass and velocity.

As the motion of the football changes, then momentum also changes. Since mass is a constant value, it is the velocity of the football that changes.

Hence, both speed and direction of both the football changes.

Option C is correct

What is principle of conservation of momentum?

According to the principle of momentum conservation, momentum is only modified by the action of forces as they are outlined by Newton's equations of motion; momentum is never created nor destroyed inside a problem domain.

According to the principle of momentum conservation,  total momentum of an system remains conserved.

Total initial momentum = total final momentum

5 kg × 5 m/s + 1.6 kg × 0 m/s = 5 kg × 2.5 m/s + 1.6 kg × v

1.6 kg × v  = 5 kg × 5 m/s -  5 kg × 2.5 m/s

v = (5 kg /1.6 kg) (5 m/s - 2.5 m/s)

= 7.8125 m/s

Hence, If the final velocity of the ball is 2.5 m/s, the final velocity of the bowling pin is 7.8125 m/s. ​

Georgia drops a brick from the top of an 80.0 m building. What is the velocity of the brick when it hits the ground?

Answers

Answer:

the velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is 39.60 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

height through which the ball is dropped, h = 80.0 m

the initial velocity of the brick, u = 0

The final velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 80

v² = 1568

v = √1568

v = 39.60 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the brick when it hits the ground is 39.60 m/s
