Jules Ashbach: The answer is 7.937 m/sThe rule for a right angle triangle is (all join in!):-The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides.So the rope from the boat is 8m long (the hypotenuse), the (vertical) y axis of the triangle is 1m. Square each length and the hypotenuse is 64 and the y axis is 1. According to the rule above, to find the (horizontal) x axis we have to take 1 from 64 which equals 63. The square root (opposite of square) of 63 is 7.937.So (pull on the rope) reduce the hypotenuse by 1m/s and you reduce the (horizontal) x axis by 7.937m/s which is the speed at which the boat approaches the dock.Hope this helps Bigpathome....Show more
Hyman Coren: I doubt anyone.
Octavio Roylance: minimum wage but you get to eat all the barnacles you want They taste just like chicken
Zelma Casebier: Gotta go w/ booze.However....Interesting fact from a coast guard article called "whizzing over the rail"Many drownin! gs are caused by taking a leak over the side .CG said the proof is in the numbers of floaters found with their fly's open.
Ellis Cellar: Hi It looks like that the westland SR N2 holds the record set in the late1960s on its trials, it did only 200 miles but there is no record of any one beating it. As to solo there seems to be no info.
Marco Stolarz: 17 dollars per hour
Hobert Dula: as you can tell it varys from place to place.A regular account will be cheaper than calling some one just once. Also is the boat in the water ,drydock?How bad is the bottom?There are lots of things that can effect the price.
Tricia Dossous: I would say alcoholic intoxification is the leading cause of recreational boating accidents.
Pasty Cobbett: The USCG BOATING STATISTICS - 2004 published Septermber 2005 rated drowning as the number one cause of recreational boating fatalities, stating that this represents 70% of all baoting fatalities.
Rose Krouse: Well, th! e major cause of fatalities is drowning no matter how you get ! into the water. Large waves are dangerous for a small boat, so is loading a boat beyond it's weight rating., but the most dangerous is boating without a proper life preservers for every member in the boat. Many will say wearing a life preserver takes away from the boating experience, but so does drowning. It is a good idea to wear one when on the water. Even with a non-fatal injury received in a boat-to-boat accident, it is the life preserver that can give you the chance to survive by keeping your head above water, even when you are unconscious. If you or the people you boat with are those who refuse to wear a life preserver because you feel you can swim well, a good idea is to at least get the life preservers out of the boat hull storage, hand one that fits to everyone who can swim, and make them sit on it so it is there if they find themselves in the water. And anyone who cannot swim well, give them no choice, wear it or watch you from shore. It is also a good id! ea to have a throw-able rescue flotation device handy in a boat to toss to anyone in trouble in the water, even people not a part of your crew. Remember, in the water, best to count on only you for survival. Help in water takes time to arrive, and anyone in the water with you, are normally busy saving themselves.Happy Boating :)...Show more
Barton Morfee: What will greater the chances of being swamped by a wave and sinking?
Thomas Riner: Being attacked by a school of minnows. Second place goes to Pirates.
Rosio Pasculli: the major cause of small boat fatalities is inexperience which leads to all of the reasons stated above.
Karie Mavle: i bet the statistics will show teenagers being daredevilish are as to blame as alcohol. with the amount of fishing done these days, falling overboard and drowning is probably the most common.
Darren Heling: it depends on the boat. i have a 92ft steel hull boat with a 30ft beam and it would not be approachin! g the dock at all because the rope would not be able to pull it anywher! e. the boat weighs about 130 tons
Lynn Melbourne: how much people make by cleaning barnacles off of boats? Was wondering
Keven Woodington: Nobody
Irma Poiter: Curtis gets the answer right. Wear your PFD! Inflatables are comfy and small and under $100. And don't drive drunk. Drinking is the primary reason for drownings where I live. I don't boat without a beer near but I keep it cool and wear my PFD and I'm still breathing air. I love breathing air. Hate trying to breathe the h2o
Keneth Mailhot: The bermuda triangle, right off the coast of the bahammas is a main cause. Caused by methane gas. :]
Blair Abdi: Just Like it says. Who Completed a Circumnavigation of Earth In a hovercraft? When? Who was the first to do it solo? Oh and WIG's Don't count. I looked online and typed it in google and stuff but couldn't find it. Thanks
Willie Tun: I pay $75 every 3 months to have a 38' boat cleaned.$1.97 per ft.
Beau Starcevic: Drinking i! s number 1
Ramon Dahlheimer: A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1m higher than the bow of the boat. If the roap is pulled in a rate of 1 m/s, how fast is the boat approaching the dock when it is 8 m from the dock?It is a triangle related rates question.
Marhta Teahan: DRUNK DRIVER running into things.
Elmo Tervo: I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that anyone could have circumnavigated the world on a HOVERCRAFT.
Lue Podewils: The ultimate casue is not knowing enough about boating and the water your on.
