A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 85 m wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the east at 2.0 m/s. The kayaker can paddle with a speed of 3.4 m/s.

(a) In which direction should he paddle in order to travel straight across the harbor?

(b) How long will it take him to cross?

Explanation:

Let the direction in which he peddles makes an angle of θ with north across

Sinθ = 2 / 3.4

θ = 36 degree ( west of north )

b )

component of his velocity along the north = 3.4 cos 36

= 2.75 m /s

time required = 85 / 2.75 s

= 31 s

the skeletons of most mammals reach a certain size and then stop growing. however, many animals, including some mammals, keep growing throughout their lives. kangaroos, for example, just keep growing and growing until they die. also, the longer an animal lives the greater the chance it might catch some deadly disease.

because if the tool that you are using is not balanced it there would be false mass.
