A person is rowing across the river with a velocity of 4.5 km/hr northward. The river is flowing eastward at 3.5 km/hr (Figure 4

). What is the magnitude of her velocity ( v ) with respect to the shore?

Answer: Her velocity magnitude (v) relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.

Explanation:

Let Q be the speed of the boat, and P be the speed of the river flow.

R represents the resultant velocity combining boat velocity and river current.

According to vector addition using the law of triangles:

R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQCos\theta}

From the diagram:

P = 3.5 km/h, Q = 4.5 km/h

\theta= 90^o

R=\sqrt{P^2+Q^2+2PQCos\theta}=\sqrt{(3.5)^2+(4.5)^2+3.5\times 4.5\times cos90^o}=5.70

(Cos90^o=0),(sin 90^o=1)

\alpha =tan^{-1}\frac{Qsin\theta}{P+Qcos\theta}=tan^{-1}\frac{4.5 sin 90^o}{3.5+4.5 cos90^o}=tan^{-1}\frac{4.5}{3.5}=52.12^o

Therefore, her velocity magnitude relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.

Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer:

d_total = 12 m

Explanation:

In this kinematics scenario illustrated in the graph provided, we determine the distance traveled over a 24-second duration.

The comprehensive distance can be calculated as follows:

d_total = d₁ + d₂ + d₃

Given that d₂ on the graph is level (v=0), its distance equates to zero, hence d₂ = 0.

The distance for d₁ is calculated as:

d₁ = 12 - 6 = 6 m

For distance d₃:

d₃ = 6 - 0 = 6 m

Thus, the overall distance covered is:

d_total = 6 + 0 + 6

d_total = 12 m

Yuliya22 [1153]

Answer:

C) True. The distance S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀), illustrating that v₁> v₂ for the same t.

Explanation:

We have a set of statements to evaluate for correctness. The most effective approach is to examine the problem in detail.

Using the equation for vertical launch, we acknowledge that the positive direction signifies downward movement.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Stone 2

Released shortly thereafter, let's assume a delay of one second, we can utilize the same timing mechanism

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

We can now calculate the separation distance between the two stones, which is applicable for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t² - 2 t t₀ + t₀²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t - t₀)

This represents the distance between the two stones over time, with the coefficient outside the parentheses being constant.

For t < to, the first stone remains stationary while the distance grows.

For t > = to, the expression (2t/to-1) yields a value greater than 1, indicating that the distance expands as time progresses.

We can now analyze the different statements

A) false. The height difference increases over time.

B) False S increases.

C) It is true that S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) indicating v₁> v₂ at the same t.

Astronomers determine that a certain square region in interstellar space has an area of approximately 2.4 \times 10^72.4×10 ​7 ​
Sav [1095]

Answer:

1.5 × 10³⁶ light-years

Explanation:

A particular square area in interstellar space measures roughly 2.4 × 10⁷² (light-years)². To find the area of a square, the following formula is utilized:

A = l²

where,

A represents the area of the square

l denotes the length of one side of the square

Thus, l = √A = √2.4 × 10⁷² (light-years)² = 1.5 × 10³⁶ light-years

A sphere of radius 0.03m has a point charge of q= 7.6 micro C located at it’s centre. Find the electric flux through it?
Sav [1095]

Answer:

The electric flux going through the sphere is 8.58 *10^{5} \frac{Nm^2}{C}

Explanation:

Given

Radius,\ r = 0.03m\\Charge,\ q =7.6\µC

Required

Calculate the electric flux

Electric flux can be computed using the formula;

Ф = q/ε

Where ε stands for the electric constant permittivity

ε = 8.8542 * 10^{-12}

Substituting ε = 8.8542 * 10^{-12} and q =7.6\µC; the formula simplifies to

Ф = \frac{7.6\µC}{8.8542 * 10^{-12}}

Ф = \frac{7.6 * 10^{-6}}{8.8542 * 10^{-12}}

Ф = \frac{7.6}{8.8542} *\frac{10^{-6}}{10^{-12}}

Ф = \frac{7.6}{8.8542} *10^{12-6}}

Ф = 0.85834970974 *10^{12-6}}

Ф = 0.85834970974 *10^{6}}

Ф = 8.5834970974 *10^{5}}

Ф = 8.58 *10^{5} \frac{Nm^2}{C}

Thus, the electric flux through the sphere is 8.58 *10^{5} \frac{Nm^2}{C}
