A 137 kg boat is trying to go, from the origin (as shown in the figure), straight across the river at a speed 0.7198 m/s in the y-direction. The current in the river, however, flows to the right and apply a net force of 100 N (x-direction). a) What is the position vector of the boat after 2 seconds. b) What is the velocity of the boat after 3 seconds.

Please refer to the question that is attached. The boat in the picture below is tring to travel north to cross the river at 10 m/s, however the water in the river is flowing west at 4.0 m/s. The boat instead angles itself to counteract the flow of the river. For this problem orient the coordinate axes with x pointing east and y pointing north. Question A: which of the following best represents the velocity of the water? 1. < 0, -4.0 > m/s 2. < 4.0, 0 > m/s 3. < 0, 4.0 > m/s 4. < -4.0, 0 > m/s Question B: Which of the following best represents the desired velocity of the boat? 1. < 0, 10.0 > m/s 2. < -10.0, 0 > m/s 3. < 10.0, 0 > m/s 4. < 0, -10.0 > m/s Question C: Which of the follwing best represents the adjusted velocity of the boat? 1. < -10.0, -4 > m/s 2. < 4, 10.0 > m/s…

A boy decides to propose to his girlfriend in a hot air balloon. They are in the balloon, and it is moving 15 degrees south of east at a velocity 10 m/s relative to the air. When the balloon has a height of 90 m the boy is about to propose to but he drops the ring. The wind is also blowing to the east at 12 m/s relative to the ground. They now need to find the ring. a) What is the horizontal distance ( magnitude and direction) the ring lands on the ground from where it drops out of the balloon? b) What is the final velocity of the ring right before it hits the ground? c) Draw the vertical position vs time graph, velocity vs time graph, and acceleration vs time graph of the ring.
