A speed boat increases its speed uniformly from vi = 20.0 m/s to vf = 30.0 m/s in a distance of 2.00 x 10^2m. (a) Draw a coordin

pychu [463]

a) See graph in attachment

b) The suvat equation to use is $v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

c) The acceleration is $a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}$

d) The acceleration is $1.25 m/s^2$

e) The time needed is 8 s

Explanation:

a)

For this part, find in attachment the diagram representing this situation.

Since we are not given any particular direction for the motion, we choose the x-direction as the direction of motion of the boat.

Then we have the following:

- The initial position of the boat is $x_i = 0$ , the origin

- The final position of the boat is $x_f = 200 m$

- The initial velocity of the boat is $v_i = 20.0 m/s$

- The final velocity of the boat is $v_f = 30.0 m/s$

Note that the arrow representing the final velocity is longer than that of the initial velocity, since the final velocity is larger.

b)

The motion of the speed boat is a uniformly accelerated motion (motion at constant acceleration), therefore we can use one of the suvat equations. In this particular problem, we know the following quantities:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$ , the initial velocity

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$ , the final velocity

$s = x_f - x_i = 200 m$ , the displacement of the boat

Therefore, the equation that best can be use to find the acceleration is

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

where

$a$ is the acceleration

c)

Now we have to solve the equation

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2as$

In order to find the acceleration.

This can be done by dividing both terms by $2s$ : this way, we find

$\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}=\frac{2as}{2s}$

And so the acceleration is

$a=\frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2s}$

d)

Now we can use the equation found in part c) in order to find the acceleration.

We have the following data:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$ , the initial velocity

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$ , the final velocity

$s = x_f - x_i = 200 m$ , the displacement of the boat

And substituting into the equation,

$a=\frac{30^2-20^2}{2(200)}=1.25 m/s^2$

e)

In order to find the time it takes the boat to travel the given distance, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v_f = v_i + at$

where:

$v_i$ is the initial velocity

$v_f$ is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

Here we have:

$v_i = 20.0 m/s$

$v_f = 30.0 m/s$

$a=1.25 m/s^2$

Solving for t, we find:

$t=\frac{v_f-v_i}{a}=\frac{30-20}{1.25}=8 s$

according to Newton's third law what is the equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing

Fudgin [204]

When you're talking about gravity, it's easy to identify the equal
opposite forces.

Gravity ALWAYS produces an equal pair of opposite forces.
They both act between the centers of the two objects, one in
each direction.

Consider the equal pair of opposite gravitational forces between
you and the Earth. One force acts on you, and draws you toward
the center of the Earth. We call that force "your weight".
The other one acts on the Earth, and draws it toward the center
of you. Hardly anybody ever talks about that one, but the two
forces are equal ... your weight on Earth is equal to the Earth's
weight on you !

The photographer realizes that with the lens she is currently using, she can't fit the entire landscape she is trying to photogr

dexar [7]

She should use shorter focal length to fit the entire landscape which she is trying to photograph into her picture.

What is focal length?

The focal length is a measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light.

A positive focal length indicates that a system converges light, while a negative focal length indicates that the system diverges light.

For a standard rectilinear lens,

FOV = 2 arctan (x/2f)

FOV ∝ 1 / f

where x is the diagonal of the film.

Focal length (f) and field of view (FOV) of a lens are inversely proportional.

From the equation we can say that,

A shorter focal length gives you a wide angle of view which allows more view to fit in the frame.

Hence,

She should use shorter focal length to fit the entire landscape which she is trying to photograph into her picture.
