1 answer:
The acceleration of the boat is (eastward)
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law, which states that:
F = ma (1)
where
F is the net force on a body
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
First of all, we have to find the net force acting on the boat. We have:
- The force of the motor, 100 N eastward
- The force of the air resistance, 60 N westward
So the net force is:
F = 100 N - 60 N = 40 N (eastward)
Now we can apply eq.(1), using:
F = 40 N
m = 20 kg (mass of the boat)
and solving for a, we find the acceleration:
And the direction is the same as the net force (eastward).

(b) T = 19986.2 k
Explanation:
The temperature of a star in terms of peak wavelength can be given by Wein's Displacement Law, which is as follows:
where,
T = Radiated surface temperature
= peak wavelength
(a)
here,
= 970 nm = 9.7 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
<u>T = 2987.6 k</u>
(b)
here,
= 145 nm = 1.45 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
<u>T = 19986.2 k</u>
Answer:
Explanation:
Project mass m=3.8 kg
Initial speed vi= 0m/s
Final speed vf= 9.3×10³ m/s
Force F=9.3×10⁵N
To find
Time t
Solution
From Newtons second law we know that
∑F=ma
Where m is mass
a is acceleration
We can write this equation as
∑F=m(Δv/Δt)
Rearrange this equation to find time t
So
Substitute the given values
