<h2>
Answer:</h2>
The rate of deceleration is -0.14
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Using one of the equations of motion;
v = u + at
where;
v = final velocity of the boat = 0m/s (since the boat decelerates to a stop)
u = initial velocity of the boat = 25m/s
a = acceleration of the boat
t = time taken for the boat to accelerate/decelerate from u to v = 3 minutes
<em>Convert the time t = 3 minutes to seconds;</em>
=> 3 minutes = 3 x 60 seconds = 180seconds.
<em>Substitute the values of v, u, t into the equation above. We have;</em>
v = u + at
=> 0 = 25 + a(180)
=> 0 = 25 + 180a
<em>Make a the subject of the formula;</em>
=> 180a = 0 - 25
=> 180a = -25
=> a = -25/180
=> a = -0.14
The negative value of a shows that the boat is decelerating.
Therefore, the rate of deceleration of the speed boat is 0.14
Answer:
E/4
Explanation:
The formula for electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:
E = σ/(2ε₀)
Where;
E is the electric field
σ is the surface charge density
ε₀ is the electric constant.
Formula to calculate σ is;
σ = Q/A
Where;
Q is the total charge of the sheet
A is the sheet's area.
We are told the elastic sheet is a square with a side length as d, thus ;
A = d²
So;
σ = Q/d²
Putting Q/d² for σ in the electric field equation to obtain;
E = Q/(2ε₀d²)
Now, we can see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.
E ∝ 1/d²
The electric field at P has some magnitude E. We now double the side length of the sheet to 2L while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet.
From the relationship of E with d, the magnitude of electric field at P will now have a quarter of its original magnitude which is;
E_new = E/4
<em>mass (m)= 5 kg</em>
<em>height (h)= 9m </em>
<em>gravity (g)= 9.8 m/s^2</em>
It has Potential energy. (PE)
• PE = mgh
Replacing:
PE = 5 * 9.8 * 9 = 441 Joules
