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:

From the diagram:
P = 3.5 km/h, Q = 4.5 km/h




Therefore, her velocity magnitude relative to the shore is 5.70 km/h.
1 hour = 3,600 seconds
1 km = 1,000 meters
75 km/hour = (75,000/3,600) m/s = 20-5/6 m/s
The mean speed during the deceleration is
(1/2)(20-5/6 + 0) = 10-5/12 m/s.
Traveling at this average speed for 21 seconds,
the bus covers
(10-5/12) × (21) = 218.75 meters.
Answer:
A) and B) are valid.
Explanation:
When an object remains at rest, it is indicative that no net force acts upon it.
The downward gravitational force from Earth must be counterbalanced by an upward force of equal magnitude in order to maintain rest.
This upward force is provided by the normal force, which adjusts to satisfy Newton’s 2nd Law and is always perpendicular to the surface supporting the object (in this instance, the ground).
At the molecular level, this normal force comes from the ground's bonded molecules acting like tiny springs, compressed by the object’s molecules, providing an upward restorative force.
Thus, statements A) and B) are true.
The string does not experience any force of tension, as it balances two forces acting in the same direction. Hence, the tension is zero.
Explanation:
If tension existed in the string, it would mean that two equal but opposite forces are exerting pull in contrary directions.
When a force of f newtons is applied from the right and another force of f newtons from the left, the resulting action occurs through one force. Because there is action on the same string in opposing directions, the tension in the string can only be equal to the magnitude of the string itself.
Therefore, the string indeed has no tension since it is dealing with two forces acting in the same direction. Thus, the tension is zero.
