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.

Two small diameter, 10gm dielectric balls can slide freely on a vertical channel each carry a negative charge of 1microcoulomb.
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The distance of separation is d = 0.092 \ m

Explanation:

The mass of the each ball is  m= 10 g  =  0.01 \ kg

 The negative charge on each ball is q_1 =q_2=q =  1 \mu C  =  1 *10^{-6} \ C

Now we are told that the lower ball is  restrained from moving this implies that the net force acting on it is  zero

Hence the gravitational force acting on the lower ball is equivalent to the electrostatic force i.e

          F =  \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}

=>       m* g  =  \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}

here k the the coulomb's  constant with a value  k = 9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.

So  

      0.01 * 9.8  =  \frac{ 9*10^9 *[1*10^{-6} * 1*10^{-6}]}{d}

            d = 0.092 \ m

The number of gallons of water in a storage tank at time t, in minutes, is modeled by w(t) = 25 − t2 for 0≤t≤5. At what rate, in
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Rate of change of water will be -6 gallon/minute

Explanation:

We have given water in the tank as the function of time as

w(t)=25-t^2

We have to find the rate of change of water in the tank at t = 3 minute

For rate of change we have to differentiate both side

So \frac{dw}{dt}=0-2t

At t = 3 minute

\frac{dw}{dt}=0-2\times 3=-6gallon/minute

Grain is pored into a silo to be stored for later use. Due to the friction between pieces of grain as they rub against eachother
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

3.1×10⁻¹¹ N

Explanation:

Use Coulomb's law:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹) (6.0×10⁻¹⁰) (2.3×10⁻¹⁵) / (0.02 m)²

F = 3.1×10⁻¹¹

A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover’s truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0°, and the man pulls upward
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(a)  104 N

(b) 52 N

Explanation:

Given Data

Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°

F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp

The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.  

The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.

(a)  

Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.  

Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:  

Fx=Fcos30°

Solve for F:  

F= Fx/cos30°  

Substitute for Fx from given data:  

Fx=90 N/cos30°

   =104 N

(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:

     Fy = Fsin 30°

   Substitute for F from part (a):

     Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)  

          = 52 N

Machine movement can be divided into what two main categories?
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

1.) Employee Driven Machines

2.) Self Driven Machines

Explanation:

A machine is a mechanical device that utilizes the application of forces to carry out an operation. It's operation can be "employee driven" (i.e it is operated by a person) or "self driven" (i.e it is operated by itself).
