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

Ana wonders how light can affect a mystery material. The table below shows what happens when different types of light hit the my
vivado [14]

The light can definitely change the mystery material. This can occur through a change in temperature or color (option C).

A material is affected by light mainly if the material absorbs the light. Based on the chart, we know this mystery material can absorb two types of light:

  • Red light.
  • Yellow light.

Moreover, this phenomenon can lead to two main changes:

  • Change in temperature: Light affects materials by increasing their temperature of these. A common example is the way the temperature of an object increases if it is exposed to sunlight.
  • Change in color: Some materials react to light by changing their color.

Based on this, the material can change its color or temperature.

Note: This question is incomplete; here is the missing part:

A. Yes, but the mystery material can change in only one way, such as by getting warm, because all the light that a material absorbs will affect that material in the same way.

B. No. The mystery material can’t change because the light is not a physical thing. Light cannot change physical things like the mystery material.

C. Yes and the mystery material can change in one or two different ways, such as by getting warm and/or changing color, because different types of light can cause different changes to a material when they are absorbed.

D. There is no way to know whether the mystery material will change or not.

A mercury thermometer is used to measure the temperature of boiling water.<br>Why?​
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

It has very high density, so a small bulb of a thermometer can contain much mercury. Mercury remains liquid state over a quite wide range of temperature because it freezes at 39°C and boils at 357°C.

Why does conduction occur in solids?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer to together, than in gases, where particles are further apart. ... As these molecules collide, thermal energy is transferred via conduction to the rest of the pan.

Explanation:

Metals have tightly packed atoms which can easily pass on their kinetic energy and also have free moving electrons.

Many behavioral psychologists would disagree with the social cognitive theory because most believe that behavior is __________.
Llana [10]

The correct answer B. Not affected by cognition

Explanation:

In the Social Cognitive Theory, the most important aspects are social interaction and cognition that involves mental processes such as comprehension. Indeed, this theory proposes behaviors are the result of observing other people as part of social interaction, understanding this behavior, and then imitating it.

Despite this, many psychologists do not support this theory and the main reason is that they deny the learning of behavior is related to cognition or complex mental processes. Instead, some believe behavior is the result of certain impulses or that is regulated by conditioning such as behaving correctly to avoid negative consequences.
