In this case, the two vectors are in the same direction, so they simply add:

<span> total motion = 18m/s + 2.5m/s = 20.5m/s to the west </span>

F 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.

A large ebony wood log, totally submerged, is rapidly floating down a flooded river. If the mass of the log is 165 kg, what is t
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

F = 1618.65[N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the following equation that relates the mass, density and volume of the body to the floating force.

We know that the density of wood is equal to 750 [kg/m^3]

density = m / V

where:

m = mass = 165[kg]

V = volume [m^3]

V = m / density

V = 165 / 750

V = 0.22 [m^3]

The floating force is equal to:

F = density * g * V

F = 750*9.81*0.22

F = 1618.65[N]

A person using an oxygen mask is breathing air that is 33% oxygen. what is the partial pressure of the o2, when the air pressure
yawa3891 [41]
The partial pressure of the O2 is 36.3 kiloPascal when the air pressure in the mask is 110 kiloPascal based on the isotherm relation. This problem can be solved by using the isotherm relation equation which stated as Vx/Vtot = px/ptot, where V represents volume, p represents the pressure, x represents the partial gas, and tot represents the total gas<span>. Calculation: 33/100 = px/110 --> px = 36.3</span>
