Water traveling along a straight portion of a river normally flows fastest in the middle, and the speed slows to almost zero at the banks. consider a long straight stretch of river flowing north, with parallel banks 40 m apart. if the maximum water speed is 3 m/s, we can use the sine function, f(x) = 3 sin(πx/40), as a basic model for the rate of water flow x units from the west bank. suppose a boater would like to pilot the boat to land at the point b on the east bank directly opposite point a. if the boat maintains a constant heading and a constant speed of 5 m/s, determine the angle at which the boat should head. (round your answer to one decimal place.)

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
