What should you do when fueling an outboard boat with a portable tank?

Physics
2 answers:
bonufazy [111]3 years ago

Answer:

Connect the outboard boat to the earth

Explanation:

During re-fueling, small charges are generated. These charges result in some small electrostatics being generated. The generated static energy results in small electric sparks. If the object is not properly earthed, the will be a fire even from a very small spark. Thus, an earth system is needed to prevent a fire from taking place. The earth absorbs excess electrons. This prevents fires from taking place.

The portable tank should be connected to earth to neutralise rhe charges to prevent sudden discharge which may cause sparks and lead to fire.

A giant armadilo moving northward with a constant acceleration covers the distance between two points 60m apart in 6 seconds. It
Naddika [18.5K]
Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:

 x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a          (EQUATION 1)

vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a             (EQUATION 2)

Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2

I need help please somebody help me
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Generally, magnets are attracted to objects that are made of the metals iron, nickel, or cobalt. These materials are called ferromagnetic materials. ... When all or most of the domains are aligned in the same direction, the whole object becomes magnetized in that direction and becomes a magnet.

A 1.5-kilogram cart initially moves at 2.0 meters per second. It is brought to rest by a constant net force in 0.30 second. What
AnnZ [28]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.

The cart's acceleration is

                               (0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)

                           = ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²)  =  -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .

Newton's second law of motion says

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

For this cart:      Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)

                                       = ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)

<span>                                       =      </span>- 10 newtons .

<span>The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction </span>
<span>in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, </span>
<span>and it eventually stops the cart.</span>

A 46.0-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.80 m across the floor by a force P whose magnitude is 171 N. The force P is parall
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

a) 1504.8 J

b) 991.76 J

c) 0J

d) 0J

Explanation:

(a) The work done by the force P on the box is given by the following formula:

W_P=Px

P: applied force = 171N

x: distance in which the for P is applied = 8.80m

you replace the values of P and x and obtain:

W_P=(171N)(8.80m)=1504.8J

(b) The work don by the friction force is:

W_f=F_fx=\mu N x=\mu Mg x

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.250

M: mass of the box = 46.0kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s^2

W_f=(0.250)(46.0kg)(9.8m/s^2)(8.80m)=991.76J

(c) The Normal force is

N=Mg=(46.0kg)(9,8m/s^2)=450.8N

but this force does not do work on the box because the direction is perpendicular to the direction of the force P.

W_N=0J

(d) the same as before:

W_g=0J
