Two fishing boats depart a harbor at the same time, one traveling east, the other south. the eastbound boat travels at a speed 1 mi/h faster than the southbound boat. after 5 h the boats are 25 mi apart. find the speed of the southbound boat.

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. you decide that you'll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in figure p23.56 . when you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10 nc and that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0 x10-7 c/m. what is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0 cm away?

Aweather forecaster uses doppler radar to predict the track of a storm near the town of meadowlands. when the doppler signal is pointed at the storm from the town's center, the frequencies of the waves appear to be decreasing. what should the weather forecaster predict? a. that the storm will move around the edges of meadowlands without hitting the tosis center o b. that residents should be prepared, because it is impossible to know whether the storm will hit o c. that the storm is moving toward meadowlands and that residents should be prepared d. that the storm is moving away from meadowlands and is not likely to hit the town
