A rope connects boat A to boat B. Boat A starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 9.5 m/s in a time t = 47 s. The mass of

boat B is 540 kg. Assuming a constant frictional force of 230 N acts on boat B, what is the magnitude of the tension in the rope that connects the boats during the time that boat A is accelerating?

Answer: 339.148N

Explanation:

Data

Time (t) = 47s

U = 0m/s

V = 9.5m/s

Mass of B = 540kg

Frictional force on B = 230N

Both boats are connected so if A moves, B moves too.

Acceleration of boat A =?

Using equation of motion,

V = u + at

9.5 = 0 + a*47

a = 9.5 / 47

a = 0.2021 m/s²

The force required to accelerate boat B since it's the same force moving both boats =?

F = Mass * acceleration

F = 540 * 0.2021 = 109.14N

A frictional force of 230N exists on boat B

Total force (Tension) = frictional force + normal force = (109.15 + 230)N = 339.148N

What is the speed of a wave in (m/s) with a 5 meter wavelength and a period of 20 seconds?
arlik [135]

Answer: 0.25 m/s

Explanation:  Speed = wavelengt · frequency  

v = λf   and frequency is 1/period  f = 1/T

Then v = λ/T = 5 m / 20 s = 0.25 m/s

A small ferryboat is 3.90 m wide and 6.30 m long. when a loaded truck pulls onto it, the boat sinks an additional 5.00 cm into t
Leya [2.2K]
When the truck's weight is added to the boat, the boat sinks 5 cm deeper,
and displaces additional water whose weight is equal to the weight of the
truck.

The volume of the additional displaced water is

             (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (5.0 cm)

         =  (3.9 m) x (6.3 m) x (0.05 m)  =   1.2285 m³ .

The weight of that much water is the weight of the truck.

          Mass of 1 liter of water  =  1 kilogram

          1.2285 m³  =  1,228.5 liters  =  1,228.5 kg of water.

          Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

                      = (1,228.5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²)  =  12,039 Newtons.

                                                                  (about 2,708 pounds)

You are driving at 75 km/h. Your sister follows in the car behind at 75 km/h. When you honk your horn, your sister hears a frequ
OLga [1]

The ideal concept for solving this question is based on the Doppler effect, for which it is indicated that the source's listening frequency changes as the distance and the relative speed between the receiver and the transmitter are also changed. However, if the relative velocity between the two objects is zero as in the particular case presented (since both travel at 75km / h) we have that there will be no change in frequency.

Therefore the frequency that I hear and that my sister would listen would be the same.
