Answer:
0.29 m/s due west.
Explanation:
According to newton's second law,
Net force acting on an object = mass×acceleration
From the question,
F+F₁+F₂ = ma................ Equation 1
Where F = The force generated from the engine, F₁ = Force exerted by the wind, F₂ = Force exerted due to the water, m = mass of the boat, a = acceleration of the boat.
Given: F = 4080 N , F₁ = -680 N(east), F₂ = -1160 N(east). m = 7660 kg
substitute into equation 1
4080-680-1160 = 7660(a)
2240 = 7660a
Therefore,
a = 2440/7660
a = 0.29 m/s due west.
Answer:
The acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2 (down) when the ball is falling.
Explanation:
The ball at maximum height has velocity zero
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² (positive downward and negative upward)

The accleration 9.8 m/s² will always be acting on the body in opposite direction when the body is going up and in the same direction when the body is going down. The acceleration on the body will never be zero
