A boat has a mass of 4040 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4660 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 880 N due

east and the water exerts a resistive force of 1400 N due east. Take west to be the positive direction. What is the boat's acceleration, with correct sign?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the boat, m = 4040 kg

The driving force of engine, FB = 4660 N in west = + 4660 N

The force of wind, Fwi = 880 N in east = -880 N

The force of water, Fwa = 1400 N in east = -1400N

Total three forces are acting on the boat

Fnet= Fb+fwi+Fwa

Fnet= 4660 - 880 - 1400

Fnet= +2380N

Acceleration (a) = Force/mass

= 2380/4040

= 0.59m/s2

Answer: acceleration =0.59m/s2

Direction is due west

Explanation: M = 4040

F1 =4660

F2=1400

F3=880

Net force = F1-(F2 +F3)

= 4660-(1400 + 880)

=2380

Acceleration (a)= F/M

= 2380/4040

= 0.59m/s2

ball of mass 0.4 kg is attached to the end of a light stringand whirled in a vertical circle of radius R = 2.9 m abouta fixed po
Levart [38]

Answer:

6.046N

Explanation:

The net force exerted on the mass is the sum of tension force and the external force of gravity.

F_n_e_t=F_g+F_t

F_t is the tension force.F_g=9.8N/kg is the force of gravity.

F_n_e_t=ma_c=mv^2/r\\

where r is the rope's radius from the fixed point.

From the net force equation above:

F_t=F_n_e_t-F_g\\=mv^2/r-mg\\=0.4\times(8.5^2/2.9)-0.4\times9.8\\=6.046N

Hence the tension force is 6.046N

xConsider the following reduction potentials: Cu2+ + 2e– Cu E° = 0.339 V Pb2+ + 2e– Pb E° = –0.130 V For a galvanic cell employi
slega [8]

Answer:

Approximately \rm 90\; kJ.

Explanation:

Cathode is where reduction takes place and anode is where oxidation takes place. The potential of a electrochemical reaction (E^{\circ}(\text{cell})) is equal to

E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) = E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) - E^{\circ}(\text{anode}).

There are two half-reactions in this question. \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu and \rm Pb^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Pb. Either could be the cathode (while the other acts as the anode.) However, for the reaction to be spontaneous, the value of E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) should be positive.

In this case, E^{\circ}(\text{cell}) is positive only if \rm Cu^{2+} + 2\,e^{-} \rightleftharpoons Cu is the reaction takes place at the cathode. The net reaction would be

\rm Cu^{2+} + Pb \to Cu + Pb^{2+}.

Its cell potential would be equal to 0.339 - (-0.130) = \rm 0.469\; V.

The maximum amount of electrical energy possible (under standard conditions) is equal to the free energy of this reaction:

\Delta G^{\circ} = n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell}),

where

  • n is the number moles of electrons transferred for each mole of the reaction. In this case the value of n is 2 as in the half-reactions.
  • F is Faraday's Constant (approximately 96485.33212\; \rm C \cdot mol^{-1}.)

\begin{aligned}\Delta G^{\circ} &= n \cdot F \cdot E^{\circ} (\text{cell})\cr &= 2\times 96485.33212 \times (0.339 - (-0.130)) \cr &\approx 9.0 \times 10^{4} \; \rm J \cr &= 90\; \rm kJ\end{aligned}.

in a lever, a load of 600N is lifted by using 400 effort. If the load is at the distance of 20cm and the effort at the distance
koban [17]

Explanation:

Load (l) = 680N

Effort (E) = 500N

Length slope (l) = 12m

Height slope (h) = 8 m

Output = load * height

680 *8 = 5.44 *103 J

The Input = effort * length = 500 *12 = 6000J

the Mechanical advantage (M.A) = load effort= 600500=1.36

the Velocity ratio (V.R) =lh=128 = 1.5

the Efficiency =M.A100%V.R= 90.6%

A car traveling at 14 m/s accelerates at 3.5 m/s² for 5 seconds. How much distance does it travel during that time?​
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 113.75

Explanation:

You know

acceleration = a = 3.5 m/s²

time = t = 5 seconds

initial velocity = u = 14 m/s

Unknown is distance = s = ?

Use equation: s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²

Substitute all the known values inside the equation:

s = (14*5) + 0.5 * 3.5 * 5²

s = 70 + 43.75 = 113.75 m

The car travels 113.75 metres.
