A speed boat moving at a velocity of 25 m/s runs out of gas and drifts to a stop 3 minutes later 100 meters away. What is its ra

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The rate of deceleration is -0.14m/s^{2}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using one of the equations of motion;

v = u + at

where;

v = final velocity of the boat = 0m/s (since the boat decelerates to a stop)

u = initial velocity of the boat = 25m/s

a = acceleration of the boat

t = time taken for the boat to accelerate/decelerate from u to v =   3 minutes

<em>Convert the time t = 3 minutes to seconds;</em>

=> 3 minutes = 3 x 60 seconds = 180seconds.

<em>Substitute the values of v, u, t into the equation above. We have;</em>

v =  u + at

=> 0 = 25 + a(180)

=> 0 = 25 + 180a

<em>Make a the subject of the formula;</em>

=> 180a = 0 - 25

=> 180a = -25

=> a = -25/180

=> a = -0.14m/s^{2}

The negative value of a shows that the boat is decelerating.

Therefore, the rate of deceleration of the speed boat is 0.14m/s^{2}

Suppose you wanted to break a meter stick over your knee. The cross-section of a meter stick is rectangular. Will it be easier t
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

It will be easier to break the meter rule with the long side against my knee.

Explanation:

To break the meter rule involves the principle of bending moment. The long side will require less force to generate the same amount of bending moment that will have to be generated to break the meter rule. The short side on the other hand will require more force to generate this mount of bending moment. This is because the shorter has a very small surface area, which concentrates the force on your knee. The pressure is then dissipated as more pressure to your knee. Th longer side has a lesser surface area so, most of the force is used in breaking the meter rule.

A driver of a car enters a new 110 km/h speed zone on the highway. The driver begins to accelerate immediately and reaches 110 k
levacccp [35]

Answer:

30Km/h

Explanation:

acceleration is the change of speed in a given time so when we substract the accelerations we can know how much the car goes per an hour

5. Two charged particles are separated by a distance of 12 meters. The Coulomb force between them is 20 N. What will the Coulomb
Leni [432]

Answer:

A) 80 N

Explanation:

The closer the particles get, the stronger the Coulomb force, which elongates choices C and D. The Coulomb force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. If the distance is cut in half, the force is multiplied by the reciprocal of (1/2)^2, which is 4. Multiplying it out, 20 times 4 is 80 N.

Why is there an upward force on objects in water?
Paraphin [41]
If you'r referring to some objects, it means that the mass of the object is less than the water so it floats. If the mass of an object is greater than the mass of the water, it will sink. Compare it to a balloon, helium makes it rise, while normal air makes it sink.
