A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.

The combined mass of the boat and trailer is 594 kg. The frictional force acting on the trailer can be ignored. What is the tension in the hitch that connects the trailer to the car?

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

Which type of light wave has the highest energy? which has the least amount of energy
devlian [24]

Answer:

Red has the lowest energy and violet the highest. Beyond red and violet are many other kinds of light our human eyes can't see, much like there are sounds our ears can't hear. On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light.

Find the cost of excavating a space 84 ft long, 42 ft wide, and 9 ft deep at a cost of $39/yd3. (simplify your answer completely
m_a_m_a [10]

The cost of excavating a space of 84 ft long, 42 ft wide, and 9 ft deep is $45864

Information about the problem:

  • Space long= 84 ft
  • Space wide= 42 ft
  • Space deep= 9 ft
  • Cost by yard3 = $39/yd3
  • Total cost= ?

To solve this problem, we have to state the equation using the information of the problem:

Calculating the volume of the total space:

space volume = space long * space wide * space deep

space volume = 84 ft * 42 ft * 9 ft

space volume = 31752 ft3

By converting the volume from ft3 to yd3, we have:

31752 ft3 * (0,037037 yd3 / 1 ft3) = 1176 yd3

Calculating the cost of excavating the volume space:

Total cost = space volume * cost by yard3

Total cost = 1176 yd3 * $39/yd3

Total cost = $45864

<h3>What is volume?</h3>

It is the space occupied by a body, it is calculated by multiplying its dimensions, for example: length, height and width.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3.626 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

1. -0.02/0 = 0 m/s

2. 0.86/0.2 = 4.3 m/s

3. 1.71/0.4 = 4.275 m/s

4. 2.54/0.6 = 4.23 m/s

5. 3.32/0.8 = 4.15 m/s

6. 4.08/1.0 = 4.08 m/s

7. 4.79/1.2 = 3.99 m/s

8. 5.48/1.4 = 3.91 m/s

9. 6.15/1.6 = 3.84 m/s

10. 6.76/1.8 = 3.76 m/s

11. 7.37/2.0 = 3.66 m/s

12. 7.92/2.2 = 3.6 m/s

13. 8.45/2.4 = 3.52 m/s

14. 8.96/2.6 = 3.45 m/s

the mean of these numbers is 3.626

his average velocity ks 3.626 m/s
