Aboat's motor propels the boat through the water at 3m/s. the driver of the boat wants to go in a straight ine directly across the river, but there is a 1m/s current flowing perpendicular to the direction in which the driver wants to go

Answer from: borsha255

Direction of boat's motion = 109.52°

Explanation:

In the question,

Speed of the boat, v = 3 m/s

Speed of the current, c = 1 m/s

The speed of the current is perpendicular to the resultant direction of the motion of the boat, R.

So,

In the triangle, using the Pythagoras Theorem,

$v^{2}=c^{2}+R^{2}$

So,

$(3)^{2}=1^{2}+R^{2}\\R^{2}=8\\R=2\sqrt{2}\\R=2.828\,m/s$

Therefore, the Resultant speed of the Boat is given by,

R = 2.82 m/s

And,

Direction of the motion of the Boat is given by,

$tan\theta=\frac{c}{R}\\tan\theta=\frac{1}{2.82}=0.354\\\theta=19.52\,degrees$

So,

Angle made by the Boat with the Horizontal is,

θ = 90 + 19.52 = 109.52°

Therefore, the Boat should be moving at 109.52° with the horizontal.

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.
