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.

Find the lowest two frequencies that produce a maximum sound intensity at the positions of Moe and Curly.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing parts below is the complete question

and the missing diagram

The two speakers emit sound that is 180° out of phase and of a single frequency,ƒ, Find the lowest two frequencies that produce a maximum sound intensity at the positions of Moe and Curly.

answer : 1316.2 hertz

Explanation:

The frequency that produce the maximum sound intensity can be calculated using the relation below

dsin ∅ = n <em>A</em>

where <em>A = </em>dsin ∅ / n  when n = 1 . d = 0.800

<em>A</em> = 0.800 * ( 1 / 3.162 )

<em>A</em> = 0.253 m

speed of sound = 333 m/s

frequency = speed /<em> A</em>

<em>=   </em>333 / 0.253 =  1316.2 hertz

<span>We'll use the momentum-impulse theorem. The x-component of the total momentum in that direction is given by p_(f) = p_(1) + p_(2) + p_(3) = 0.
  So p_(1x) = m1v1 = 0.2 * 2 = 0.4 Also p_(2x) = m2v2 = 0 and p_(3x) = m3v3 = 0.1 *v3 where v3 is unknown speed and m3 is the mass of the third particle with the unknown speed
 Similarly, the 235g particle, y-component of the total momentum in that direction is given by p_(fy) = p_(1y) + p_(2y) + p_(3y) = 0.
 So p_(1y) = 0, p_(2y) = m2v2 = 0.235 * 1.5 = 0.3525 and p_(3y) = m3v3 = 0.1 * v3 where m3 is third particle mass.
  So p_(fx) = p_(1x) + p_(2x) + p_(3x) = 0.4 + 0.1v3; v3 = 0.4/-0.1 = - 4
 Also p_(fy) = 0.3525 + 0.1v3; v3 = - 0.3525/0.1 = -3.525
  So v_3x = -4 and v_3y = 3.525.
 The speed is their resultant = âš (-4)^2 + (-3.525)^2 = 5.335</span>

In this lab you will use a cart and a track to explore Newton's second law of motion. You will vary two different variables and
Savatey [412]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Newtons II law: </em>

<em>     </em>It  is defined as<em> "the net force acting on the object is a product of mass and acceleration of the body"</em> . Also it defines that the <em>"acceleration of an object is dependent on net force and mass of the body".</em>

Let us assume that,a string is attached to the cart, which passes over a pulley along the track. At another end of the string a weight is attached which hangs over the pulley. The hanging weight provides tension in the spring, and it helps in accelerating the cart. We assume that the string is massless and no friction between pulley and the string.

Whenever the hanging weight moves downwards, the cart will accelerate to right side.

<em>For the hanging weight/mass</em>

When hanging weight of mass is m₁ and accelerate due to gravitational force g.

           Therefore we can write F = m₁ .g

and the tension acts in upward direction T (negetive)

        Now, Fnet = m₁ .g - T

                          = m₁.a

So From Newtons II law<em> F =  m.a</em>

a student wants to push a box of books with the mass of 50 kg in 3 m horizontally towards the location of the shelves where the
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The work done is 360 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 50 kg

Distance =3 m

We need to calculate the work done

The work done is equal to the product of force and displacement.

Using formula of work done

W = F\cdot d

W = Fd\cos\theta

Where, F = force

D = distance

θ = Angle between force and displacement

Put the value into the formula

W=120\times3\cos0^{\circ}

W=360\ J

Hence, The work done is 360 J.
