A boat is headed with a velocity of 18 meters/second toward the west with respect to the water in a river. If the river is flowi

ng with a velocity of 2.5 meters/second in the same direction as the boat. What would be the magnitude of the boat’s velocity?

If the boat's velocity is 18m/sec relative to the water in the river and not the shore, it would need to be added the river speed of 2.5m/sec to get a total of 20.5m/sec. The 20.5m/sec would then be the total velocity of the boat relative to the shore. From personal experience, I know that when one runs with the tide, one is adding the tide flow speed to one's boat speed (what it would be in neutral waters) to get a sometimes much faster speed.

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
  • Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

       = 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

   = 22.08

   <u>≈ 22°</u>

a plane travels 204 km, northeast in 15.0 minutes. It also increases elevation by 1.6 km, upward in the same amount of time. Wha
mina [271]

Answer:

230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up

Explanation:

204 kilometres = 204000 metres

15.0 minutes = 900 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time

= 204000 / 900

= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)

1.6km = 1600 metres

Velocity = 1600 / 900

= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)

Describe a theme-park ride that has constant speed but changing velocity.<br><br> Thank you!

How about a carousel (merry go round).
For any one horse or rider, Speed is constant but direction keeps changing, so velocity does too.

skelet666 [1.2K]
Such information is valid when A. it is not biased.
There is no bias in science - the results are either correct or incorrect; personal opinions have nothing to do with that. B is incorrect because the point of experiments is that they can be repeated to achieve the same results. C and D are likewise incorrect as primary sources are important, and you can share the results with others if you want to.

If 500 thousand btus of energy are available to raise the temperature of a water boiler from 20°f to 100°f, how many gallons o
sashaice [31]
In this question, you are given the energy( 500,000btus) and the temperature difference( 100F-20F= 80F). You are asked to find the volume of water.
1 BTU mean 1 degree of F increased for 1 pound mass. First, we can calculate the mass of the water in lb unit. The calculation would be:

mass= energy/temperature increase = 500,000/80= 6250lb.

Then we need to convert the weight into gallons. The calculation would be:
6250lb x kg/2.204lb x 1kg/m3 x 264.172 gallons/m3= 3638969.3 gallons
