A sailboat is traveling to the right when a gust of wind causes the boat to accelerate leftward at 2.5​​​​m​​/s2 for 4s. After t

he wind stops, the sailboat is traveling to the left with a velocity of 3.0​m/s.
Assuming the acceleration from the wind is constant, what was the initial velocity of the sailboat before the gust of wind?
Answer using a coordinate system where rightward is positive.

Explanation :

Let rightward direction is considered as positive and leftward direction is considered as negative.

Given that,

Acceleration of the boat, a=-2.5\ m/s^2 ( in left )

Time taken, t=4\ s

Final velocity of the boat, v=-3\ m/s

We have to find initial velocity (u) of the sailboat.

Using first equation of motion :

v=u+at

u=v-at

u=-3-(-2.5)\times 4

u=-13\ m/s

So, initially the boat is moving with a speed of 13 m/s in leftwards direction.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Taking right movement to be positive means leftward movement is negative.
Hence we have a deceleration of
a = - 2.5 {ms}^{ - 2}

t = 4s
v = 3.0 {ms}^{ - 1}
Using this 'suvat' equation
v = u + at
we can determine the initial velocity

3.0= u + -2.5(4)

3.0+2.5(4)=u

13.0 = u

Hence the initial velocity is 13.0 meters per seconds

A 50-ω resistor is connected to a 9.0 V battery. How much thermal energy is produced in 7.5 minutes?1.2 * 10^2 J1.3 * 10^3 J3.0
emmasim [6.3K]

In order to calculate the thermal energy, first let's calculate the power, using the formula:

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

For a voltage V = 9 Volts and a resistance R = 50 ohms, we have:

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{9^2}{50} \\ P=\frac{81}{50}=1.62\text{ W} \end{gathered}

Now, multiplying the power by the time (in seconds), we can find the energy:

\begin{gathered} E=P\cdot t \\ E=1.62\cdot7.5\cdot60 \\ E=729\text{ J} \end{gathered}

In scientific notation, we have an energy of 7.3 * 10^2 J, therefore the correct option is the fourth one.

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more uniform with no significant variation in color in the lower cloud levels. much
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more calm with fewer disturbances or storms.

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is highly violent and thinner as compared with Saturn.

The layers of atmosphere on Saturn is thicker because of lower gravity of Saturn and hence they are calmer.
