Chapter 4: Q. 18 (page 106)

A boat takes 3.0 hours to travel 30kmdown a river, then 5.0 hours to return. How fast is the river flowing?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the river is 2km/h.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The boat takes3.0hto travel 30km down a river, and it takes5.0h to cover the same distance in return.

02

Step 2. Explanation

The speed of the boat is during the downstream is, v+u=Dt

Here, v is the speed of the boat, u is the speed of the stream, D is the total distance, and t is the time of row.

v+u=30km3.0hv=10.0km/h鈭�u

The speed of the boat during upstream is,

v鈭�u=Dt

(10.0km/h鈭�u)鈭�u=30km5.0h2u=10.0km/h鈭�6.0km/hu=4.0km/h2=2.0km/h

Therefore, the speed of the river is 2km/h.

Problems 1 and 2 show a partial motion diagram. For each:

a. Complete the motion diagram by adding acceleration vectors.

b. Write a physics problem for which this is the correct motion diagram. Be imaginative! Don't forget to include enough information to make the problem completely and to state clearly what is to be found.

A javelin thrower standing at rest holds the center of the javelin behind her head, then accelerates it through a distance of 70 cm as she throws. She releases the javelin 2.0 m above the ground traveling at an angle of 30掳 above the horizontal. Top-rated javelin throwers do throw at about a 30掳 angle, not the 45掳 you might have expected, because the biomechanics of the arm allow them to throw the javelin much faster at 30掳 than they would be able to at 45掳. In this throw, the javelin hits the ground 62 m away. What was the acceleration of the javelin during the throw? Assume that it has a constant acceleration.
