Answer:

vps = vbr + vrs - vpb

Explanation:

  • If the passenger were at rest, his speed relative to the shore will be identical to the boat's, as follows:
  • vps = vbr + vrs
  • As he is moving in a direction opposite to the boat's, his velocity relative to the shore must be less than if he were at rest, in the same quantity that he was moving opposite to the boat, as follows:
  • vps = vbr+ vrs -vpb

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec
Anarel [89]
Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

A factory robot drops a 10 kg computer onto a conveyor belt running at 3.1 m/s. The materials are such that μs = 0.50 and μk = 0
frutty [35]

Answer:

x = 1.63 m

Explanation:

mass (m) = 10 kg

μk = 0.3

velocity (v) = 3.1 m/s

Assuming that most of the computers weight is applied on the belt instantaneously, we can apply the constant acceleration equation below

x = v^{2}/2a

where a = μk.g , therefore

x = v^{2}/2μk.g

x = (3.1 x 3.1)/(2 x 0.3 x 9.8)

x = 1.63 m
