Answer:

<em>The net force that acts on the sailboat has a magnitude of 217 N and is applied at an angle of 64° north of east.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Force</u>

The second Newton's law states the net force exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

\vec F = m.\vec a

Where \vec a is the acceleration of the object. Note both the force and the acceleration are vectors. The relationship between them is the mass, a scalar.

This means the net force and the acceleration have the same direction.

The sailboat has a mass m= 350 Kg and moves at a=0.62 m/s^2. The magnitude of the net force acting on the boat is:

F=0.62 * 350=217\ N

As stated above its direction is the same as the acceleration, thus:

The net force that acts on the sailboat has a magnitude of 217 N and is applied at an angle of 64° north of east.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water, u = 48 m/s

at maximum height the final velocity will be zero, v = 0

the water is going upwards, i.e in the negative direction of gravity, g = -9.8 m/s².

The maximum height reached by the water is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

h is the maximum height reached by the water

0 = u² + 2gh

0 = (48)² + ( 2 x -9.8 x h)

0 = 2304 - 19.6h

19.6h = 2304

h = 2304 / 19.6

h = 117.55 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

A 57-kg woman holds a 6-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.15g. Determi
Temka [501]

Answer:

R = 710.7N

L = 67.689 N

During gravity fall L = R = 0 N

Explanation:

So the acceleration that the elevator is acting on the woman (and the package) in order to result in a net acceleration of 0.15g is

g + 0.15g = 1.15g

The force R that the elevator exerts on her feet would be product of acceleration and total mass (Newton's 2nd law):

a(m + M) = 1.15g(57 + 6) = 1.15*9.81*63 = 710.7N

The force L that she exerts on the package would be:

am = 1.15g *6 = 1.15*9.81*6 = 67.689N

When the system is falling, all have a net acceleration of g. So the acceleration that the elevator exerts on the woman (and the package) is 0, and so are the forces L and R.
