The acceleration of the boat is 2 m/s^2 (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:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{40}{20}=2.0 m/s^2

And the direction is the same as the net force (eastward).

Five lamp, each labbled "6V,3W" are operated at normal brightness. What is the total energy supplied to the lamps in five second
REY [17]

Answer:

E = 75 J

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the total power consumed by the five lamps:

Total\ Power = P = (5)(Power\ of\ one\ lamp)\\P = (5)(3\ W)\\P = 15\ W

Now, the energy supply can be calculated as follows:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy = ?

t = time = 5 s

Therefore,

E = (15 W)(5 s)

<u>E = 75 J</u>

Share your thoughts about this statement by John Wesley<br> "Electricty is the soul of universe"
ikadub [295]

Answer:

<em>I think this statement is true at least in modern day times. The world runs on nothing but technology. People use more technology instead of old school textbooks and papers. Imagine living in a world without technology… that means no cars, no trains, no devices, no machines like your stove or printer, no lights and lots more. John Wesley is 100 percent correct with this statement. Electricity is indeed the powerhouse of the universe. </em>
