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).

How do protons ever fuse together in the presence of the electromagnetic force? There is another force involved here called the
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The nuclei are moving fast with respect to one another

Explanation:

Protons are found in the nucleus together with the neutrons while the electrons normally revolve round it.

However the protons appears fused in a way when electromagnetic force is applied by the nuclei moving at a very fast speed. This fast speed helps to keep the supposed neutrons fused together.

Answer the following. (a) What is the surface temperature of Betelgeuse, a red giant star in the constellation of Orion, which r
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) T = 2987.6 k

(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:

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{\lambda_{max}}

where,

T = Radiated surface temperature

\lambda_{max} = peak wavelength

(a)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 970 nm = 9.7 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{9.7\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 2987.6 k</u>

(b)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 145 nm = 1.45 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{1.45\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 19986.2 k</u>

Scientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, t
kkurt [141]

Answer:

t=0.038s

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)

=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

Rearrange this equation to find time t

So

t=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{F}

Substitute the given values

t=3.8kg\frac{9.3*10^3m/s-0}{9.3*10^5N} \\t=0.038s

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q &gt; 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q  8q / L²

Q = 8q  (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q  (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )
