A boat sails south with the help of a wind blowing in the direction S36°E with magnitude 300 lb. Find the work done by the wind
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

The work done by the wind as the boat moves 130 ft is (rounded) W= 31,550 ft-lb.

Explanation:

F= 300 lb < -54º

Fsouth= 300 lb * cos(36º)

Fsouth= 242.7 lb

d= 130 ft

W= F*d

W= 31551 ft-lb

give an example of situation in which an automobile driver can have a centripetal acceleration but no tangential speed
Mars2501 [29]

There is no need for tangential acceleration when moving in a circle at a constant speed.

<h3>What is centripetal acceleration?</h3>

centripetal acceleration refers to the speed at which a body moves through a circle. Due to the fact that velocity is a vector quantity (i.e., it has both a magnitude, the speed, and a direction), when a body travels in a circle, its direction is constantly changing, which causes a change in velocity, which results in an acceleration.

<h3>Which is an example of centripetal acceleration?</h3>

Centripetal acceleration occurs when you spin a ball on a string above your head. A car experiences centripetal acceleration when it is being driven in a circle. Additionally, a satellite in orbit around the Earth experiences centripetal acceleration.

Star A and Star B have measured stellar parallax of 1.0 arc second and 0.75 arc second, respectively. Which star is closer? How
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Star A is closer than Star B

Explanation:

As we know that in parallax method of distance measurement the angle subtended by the star when it covers a distance of one Parsec arc length, it is known as parallax angle

Here we can say

angle = \frac{1 Parsec}{distance}

so we have

distance = \frac{1 Parsec}{angle}

so here we have

angle subtended by Star A = 1 arc sec

angle subtended by star B = 0.75 arc sec

now we have

distance for star A is given as

d_a = \frac{1 Parsec}{1} = 1 Parsec

distance of star B is given as

d_b = \frac{1 Parsec}{0.75} = 1.33 Parsec

So star A is closer than star B

A sprinter with a mass of 80 kg accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 s. What is the runner's acceleration?
sertanlavr [38]
Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) = 9/3 = <em>3 m/s²</em> .

His mass makes no difference.
