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

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.
______________________________________

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

What Molecules can be found in the interstellar medium? A. Water, Carbon dioxide, and Hydrogen. B. Oxygen, Nitrogen and ammonia.
Masteriza [31]
The interstellar medium is the matter as well as the radiations that are found in the galaxies occupying the spaces between the star systems.
Interstellar medium is mainly composed of hydrogen that is followed by helium and trace amounts of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon (considered traces when compared to amount of hydrogen).

Therefor, the right choice is:
<span>A. Water, Carbon dioxide, and Hydrogen</span>
