Two boat landings are 4.8 km apart on the same bank of a stream that flows at 4.6 km/hr. A motorboat makes the round trip between the two landings in 2.5 hr. What is the speed of the boat relative to the water? answer in units km/h
Solutions
Expert Solution
Let the speed of boat be v.
time taken = 4.8/[v+4.6] + 4.8/[v-4.6]
2.5 =4.8/[v+4.6] + 4.8/[v-4.6]
2.5 = 2v*4.8/[v^2 - 4.6^2]
v^2 - 4.6^2 = 3.84v
v = 6.9 km/h answer

4. Two people with the same height are doing drop landings
(where you step off of a box onto the floor) off a box that is 40
cm high. The first person weighs 600 N. The second person weighs
700 N.
a. Using Newton’s laws, what is the velocity of each person
when the first land on the floor? It takes 0.285 seconds for the
people to go from the box to the floor .
b. If the first person...

An individual performs two drop landings from the exact same
height above two different basketball floors. The first landing is
onto a suspended basketball floor (hardwood suspended above the
concrete/ground). The second landing is onto a traditional
basketball floor (hardwood on the concrete/ground). The net
vertical force acting on the individual to bring them to a stop
would be ____ because the ____.
Group of answer choices
greater during the first landing : displacement along the line
of action of...

Two point source three meter apart are driven by the same oscillator at a frequency of...
Two point source three meter apart are driven by the same
oscillator at a frequency of 800 hz. The sources emit energy in the
form of spherical waves. An observer initially hears a maximum at a
distance 10 m along the perpendicular bisector of the line joining
the two sources. What distance (in m) must observer move along a
line parallel to the line joining the two sources before reaching a
minimum intensity? (Assume the speed of sound is 343...

Two speakers 5 m apart, are driven in phase by the same
amplifier, at a frequency of 775 Hz. The speed of sound is 340 m/s.
An observer starts 5m away from one of the speakers at a point
along the perpendicular to the line connecting the two speakers,
and moves away from the speakers along that line.
a) How much distance separates the second and the third
interference minima they hear?
b) Do you expect the intensity at the...
