A person on a cruise ship is doing laps on the promenade deck. on one portion of the track the person is moving north with a spe

ed of 3.8m/s relative to the ship. the ship moves east with a speed of 12m/s relative to the water. what is the direction of motion of the person relative to the water?

The two components of the motion (3.8 m/s north and 12 m/s east) correspond to the two sides of a right triangle, where 3.8 is the length of the vertical side while 12 is the length of the horizontal side. Therefore, the angle which gives the direction of motion is given by

\theta = arctan (\frac{v_y}{v_x})

where vx is the horizontal velocity and vy is the vertical velocity. Substituting numbers into the equation, we find

\theta= arctan (\frac{3.8}{12})=arctan(0.317)=17.6^{\circ}

so, 17.6 degrees north of east.

The resultant motion is given by pithagoras, since the two components (north and east) are perpendicular to each other.
They are asking you about the direction so you have to use trigonometry, finding that the direction is Ф=arctan(3.8/12)=17.57° north of east.

Assume that you stay on the earth's surface. what is the ratio of the sun's gravitational force on you to the earth's gravitatio
Pachacha [2.7K]
First, let's determine the gravitational force of the Earth exerted on you. Suppose your weight is about 60 kg. 

F = Gm₁m₂/d²
where
m₁ = 5.972×10²⁴ kg (mass of earth)
m₂ = 60 kg
d = 6,371,000 m (radius of Earth)
G = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(5.972×10²⁴ kg)/(6,371,000 m )²
F = 589.18 N

Next, we find the gravitational force exerted by the Sun by replacing,
m₁ = 1.989 × 10³⁰<span> kg
Distance between centers of sun and earth = 149.6</span>×10⁹ m
Thus,
d = 149.6×10⁹ m - 6,371,000 m = 1.496×10¹¹ m

Thus,
F = ( 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²)(60 kg)(1.989 × 10³⁰ kg)/(1.496×10¹¹ m)²
F = 0.356  N

Ratio = 0.356  N/589.18 N
<em>Ratio = 6.04</em>

Which biome contains mostly coniferous trees and receives 35 to 100 cm of rain per year?
a_sh-v [17]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

deciduous forest

taiga (boreal forest)

temperate rainforest

tropical rainforest

Answer:

Taiga (boreal forest)

Explanation:

A Biome refers to the habitat which is occupied by flora and fauna living in similar conditions.  These biomes are distinguished based on many features like precipitation, temperature and many other physical factors.

In the given question, the biome which receives an annual rainfall of 35 to 100 cm annually and is mostly covered by the coniferous trees is known as "Taiga biome" which is also known as Boreal forest.

The Taiga biome is one of the largest terrestrial biomes which is present in Eurasia and North America. The biome is characterised by the conifers trees and therefore is also known as the Coniferous trees.

Thus, Taiga (boreal forest) is the correct answer.
