Question

Problem 49P

A kayaker paddles with a power output of 50.0 W to maintain a steady speed of 1.50 m/s. (a) Calculate the resistive force exerted by the water on the kayak. (b) If the kayaker doubles her power output, and the resistive force due to the water remains the same, by what factor does the kayaker’s speed change?

Solution

Step 1 of 3

Here we have to calculate the resistive force exerted by the water on Kayak. Also, when the Kayak doubles her output power by keeping the resistive force constant , we have to find by what factor Kayak’s speed changes.

Given data,

Power output,

Kayak’s Speed,

To find,

  1. Resistive force,
  2. Kayak’s speed when power output is doubled,
