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).

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles

How do you determine true displacement value of an object that has moved?
WITCHER [35]
Diceplacement is the distance an object has traveled in a certain direction
for example, if you were to walk North for 20m, then east for 40m, the <u>distance</u> you have traveled is 60m however your displacement is the distance between your starting position and your end position;
sqrt(20^2+40^2) = 44.7m
and because displacement is a vector, there needs to be a direction;
sin(theta)=40/44.7
theta=63.4 degrees East of North

therefore the true displacement is 44.7m at 63.4 degrees East of North
