Francesca is paddling due east on the river at 5 mph?

admin — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 13:06:48 +0000

Francesca is paddling due east on the river at 5 mph. However, the river is flowing due north at 7 mph. Find the velocity (magnitude) and direction of her canoe

Velocity More or Less 6.2 mph, Direction More or Less 37o

Velocity More or Less 6.89 mph, Direction More or Less 48o

Velocity More or Less 7.22 mph, Direction More or Less 32o

Velocity More or Less 8.6 mph, Direction More or Less 54o

By a vector diagram, the resultant, which is the path of the canoe, is the hypotenuse of a triangle with legs 5 and 7. Thus:
5^2 + 7^2 = v^2 ==> v = √(5^2 + 7^2) ≈ 8.6 mph.

Since the last option is the only one that mentions this as the velocity, it is the answer.

I hope this helps!

why do they have wooden paddles at hobby lobby?

So that people can spank bad kids that run down the aisles!

Just kidding, some people paint them and hang them in the kitchen as decor.

Please vote best answer!

What is going on at the north end of Osoyoos Lake?

admin — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 19:55:08 +0000

I went for a paddle on Osoyoos Lake yesterday and was surprised to see an old-school silver airstream trailer parked at the edge of the lake, at the north end. There was also some heavy machinery and a few horse milling about. Any idea what’s going on up there?

They are building a new cottage development, www.osoyooscottages.com. The airstream trailer is the presentation centre. Construction is scheduled for summer 2012.

How many high school guys on here have gotten paddled at school? What was it like?

admin — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:00:30 +0000

I got paddled last week at school. Detention or swats and I couldn’t miss practice. It stung but I didn’t want the Assist Principal to know it. I was wearing Levis. I got 4 licks.

I know Catholic high schools do that a lot (or used to, anyway). I went to a Catholic high school though and we had the choice of Saturday detentions or expulsion. You’re the first person I know who’s been paddled recently though.

High School Teachers, Can you use a paddle at your school?

admin — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 23:34:43 +0000

If you can do you? If you can’t do you wish you could I do NOT ever hit students. I’ve taught in schools where other teachers do legally use paddling, and I have taught in schools where such practices are … Continue reading →

Survey Question 01061207:Th/1805. 2 of 3 http://www.geocities.com/rg0044_4/index.htm

I was supposed to be paddled once, but some how got out of it. I was in elementary school. I saw many students get swats. I would say that they were probably pretty painful since even the boys would come back into the room crying and rubbing their hind ends.
As far as being helpful, I surely didn’t want to get a swat so I straitened up, but I know a boy that was paddled quite often, and it seemed to have no effect.
Paddling in my school district in Illinois stopped when I was in the sixth grade. I graduated in 1996.
As a teacher I sometimes wish I could swat my students or at least threaten them with it. However I would have a very hard time actually doing it, if I were allowed to.

Iim paddles from one shore of a lake three miles a 4mph and?

John paddles from the opposite shore at 5mph. How long will they travel before they meet

They are starting off 3 miles apart and are moving toward each other at a combined speed of 9 mph (one at 4mph and one at 5mph), so it will take 1/3 of an hour or 20 minutes until they meet.

That answers the question you asked. If you wanted to figure out WHERE they meet, you would then determine how far each traveled in the 20 minutes and would learn that they would meet 1 2/3 miles from the shore where John started (5 mph * 1/3 hour) and 1 1/3 miles from the other shore (4 mph * 1/3 hour).

How would you feel if your kid was paddled at school for misbehaving?

admin — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 21:55:06 +0000

Assuming you had a kid and it were legal in your state/province.

Very guilty… Our schools require the parents to sign a paper permitting the principal to paddle their child if needed.

Paddleboat can move at a speed of 2km/h in still water. The boat is paddled 14km downstream in a river in the same time it takes to go 7km upstream. What is the speed of the river?

Let the time be t and the speed of the river be v

going downstream -

t = 14/(2 + v)

going upstream -

t = 7/(2 – v)

14/(2 + v) = 7/(2 – v)

(2 + v)/2 = 2 – v

v = 2/3km/h
