Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of 103 km/h for half an hour (0.500 h), the blue boat headed 26.8

Solutions

Expert Solution

(a) how much farther west does the blue boat travel, compared to the green boat

Boat blue:

Apply trigonometry you get the component of speed to west

Boat green:

Apply trigonometry you get the component of speed to west

The blue boat traveled 4.97 km less at west, that the boat green

b) how much farther south does the green boat travel, compared to the blue boat?

Boat blue:

Apply trigonometry you get the component of speed to south

Boat green:

Apply trigonometry you get the component of speed to south

The green boat traveled 3.29 km less at south, that the boat blue.

Two bicycle tires are set rolling with the same initial speed of 3.70 m/s along a long, straight road, and the distance each travels before its speed is reduced by half is measured. One tire is inflated to a pressure of 40 psi and goes a distance of 17.8 m ; the other is at 105 psi and goes a distance of 93.3 m . Assume that the net horizontal force is due to rolling friction only and take the...
