The boat is initially at equilibrium since it seems to start off at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. If the wind applies a force of 950 N, then it is applying an acceleration <em>a</em> of
950 N = (2300 kg) <em>a</em>
<em>a</em> = (950 N) / (2300 kg)
<em>a</em> ≈ 0.413 m/s²
Take east to be positive and west to be negative, so that the boat has an initial velocity of -5.5 m/s. Then after 11.5 s, the boat will attain a velocity of
<em>v</em> = -5.5 m/s + <em>a</em> (11.5 s)
<em>v</em> = -0.75 m/s
which means the wind slows the boat down to a velocity of 0.75 m/s westward.
Answer:
- When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
- If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude
Explanation:
When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
From Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of the object is given as;
a = ∑F / m
a = -F / m
The negative value of "a" indicates acceleration to the left
where;
∑F is the net force on the object
m is the mass of the object
At a constant force, F = ma ⇒ m₁a₁ = m₂a₂
If the mass of the object was doubled, m₂ = 2m₁
a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (m₂)
a₂ = (m₁a₁) / (2m₁)
a₂ = ¹/₂(a₁)
Therefore, the following can be deduced from the acceleration of this object;
- When an object experiences acceleration to the left, the net force acting on this object will also be to the left.
- If the mass of the object was doubled, it would experience an acceleration of half the magnitude
Answer:
6.86 N
Explanation:
Applying,
F = mg............... Equation 1
Where F = Force exerted by gravity on the mass, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity
Note: The Force exerted by gravity on the mass is thesame as the weight of the body.
From the question,
Given: m = 700 g = (700/1000) = 0.7 kg
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
F = 9.8(0.7)
F = 6.86 N
Answer:
Hypothesis
Explanation:
Refer to a trial solution to a problem as a hypothesis, often called an "educated guess" because it provides a suggested outcome based on the evidence.
It is an example of balanced force.
hope this helps. good luck
