A 20600 kg sailboat experiences an eastward force 17700 N due to the tide pushing its hullwhile the wind pushes the sails with a

force of 60000 N directed toward the northwest (45◦ westward of North or 45◦ northward of West). What is the magnitude of the resultant acceleration of the sailboat?

Answer:

2.23 m/s²

Explanation:

mass of sail boat, m = 20600 kg

Force along east, F1 = 17700 N

Force along north west, F2 = 60000 N

write the forces in vector form

\overrightarrow{F_{1}}=17700 \widehat{i}

\overrightarrow{F_{2}}=60000\left ( - Cos45 \widehat{i}+Sin45\widehat{j}\right )

\overrightarrow{F_{2}}=-42426.41\widehat{i}+42426.41\widehat{j}

Net force acting on the boat

\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{F_{1}}+\overrightarrow{F_{2}}

\overrightarrow{F}=17573.6\widehat{i}+42426.41\widehat{j}

The magnitude of net force is given by

F=\sqrt{17573.6^{2}+42426.41^{2}}

F = 45922 N

Acceleration = force / mass

a = 45922 / 20600

a = 2.23 m/s²

A silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200°C to 100°C. What will be the length of the bar after
Delicious77 [7]
\Delta L=  \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248

Complete the equation???
soldi70 [24.7K]

Here in nuclear reaction we can say that sum of neutrons and protons in reactant side and product side will be same always

Here mass number on the product side is given to us

so sum of mass number is given as

A_1 + A_2 = 265 + 1 = 266

now on the reactant side also the number must be same

A_1' + A_2' = 58 + x

now we will have

58 + x = 266

x = 208

Now number of protons on product side is given as

P_1 + P_2 = 108 + 0

now we also know that atomic number of Fe is 26

so now we will have

P_1' + P_2' = 108

26 + P_2' = 108

P_2' = 82

now the equation is given as

_{26}^{58}Fe + _{82}^{208}Pb = _{108}^{266}Hs + _0^1X

Joseph jogs from one end A to the other end B of a straight 300 m road in 2 minutes 30 seconds and then turns around and jogs 10
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) It is given that Joseph jogs on a straight road of 300m in a time interval of 2 minutes and 30 seconds, which is equal to 150seconds. Therefore, when Joseph jogs from point A to point B, he covers a distance of 300m in time of 150seconds. Hence, his average speed is 300m/150s=2ms^−1. Since it is a straight road and he jogs in a single direction in this case, his displacement is equal to 300m. Since it is a straight road and he jogs in a single direction in this case, his displacement is equal to 300m.

Hence, his average velocity is 300m/150s=2ms^−1

(b) Then it is given that he turns back and points B and jogs on the same road but in the opposite direction for a time interval for 1 minute and covers a distance of 100m.If we consider the whole motion of Joseph, i.e. from point A to point C, then he covers a total distance of 300m+100m=400m. And he covers this total distance in a time interval of 2.5min+1min=3.5min=210s.

Therefore, his average speed for this journey is 400m210s=1.9ms−1.

For the same journey is displacement is equal to the distance between the points A and C,i.e. 300m−100m=200m.

Hence, his average velocity for this case is 200m/210s=0.95ms^−1

What evidence supports the ages of our planets, moon, sun, and asteroids
Pie

It is indeed true that scientists have known about the background radiation (commonly known as the Cosmic Microwave Background) since the early 60s. It was first discovered quite by accident by Penzias and Wilson working at Bell Labs, who detected it as an unexplainable interference in their precision radio equipment. When people finally figured out exactly what it was they were seeing, they won the Nobel Prize for their discovery. Only a few years before, George Gamow had predicted that if the Big Bang theory were correct, we should observe just such a background radiation. The CMB is not the only evidence in favor of the Big Bang, but it is one of the most important. It is a natural consequence of the theory, and is pretty unexplainable in steady-state cosmology.

The 15-20 billion year number comes not from the CMB, but rather predominantly from measurements of nearby and distant galaxies, particularly their rates of expansion away from us. We find that the distance to a galaxy is proportional to its recessional velocity. The constant of proportionality is the Hubble Constant, H, which turns out to be (approximately) the reciprocal of the age of the universe. So we measure the age by measuring recessional velocities. T = 1/H is only true, however, if the universe is not significantly accelerating or decelerating its expansion rate. If the rate of expansion is rapidly accelerating, the universe may be older than 1/H = 15 billion years, give or take. Such an acceleration would be caused by a large value of the Cosmological Constant, a sort of anti-gravity force predicted by General Relativity. There is some evidence that this might be the case.

So finally, yes, the age of the universe, being based on the empirical determination of H, is based on the observed evidence.
