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.

Answer:

+7.0 m/s

Explanation:

Let's take rightward as positive direction.

So in this problem we have:

a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)

t = 4 s time interval

v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)

We can use the following equation:

v = u + at

Where u is the initial velocity

We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:

u = v - at = (-3.0 m/s) - (-2.5 m/s^2)(4 s)=+7.0 m/s

and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.

Un bloque de 25 n se encuentra suspendido por un hilo al techo vitamina la tensión que aparece en el hilo
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

T = 25 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A 25 n block is suspended by a wire from the ceiling vitamin the tension that appears in the wire ?"

Weight of the block, W = 25 N

Weight of a body acts in downward direction and tension acts in upward direction. It would mean that,

Tension = weight of the block

T = mg

T = 25 N

Hence, the tension in the wire is 25 N.

Write down the effect of humidity and temperature on the speed of sound.​
finlep [7]

Answer:

The speed of sound is affected by temperature and humidity. Because it is less dense, sound passes through hot air faster than it passes through cold air. ... The attenuation of sound in air is affected by the relative humidity. Dry air absorbs far more acoustical energy than does moist air.

Please help don't for get to show work
emmasim [6.3K]
-- Bob covered a distance of (32m + 45m) = 77 meters.

-- His displacement is the straight-line distance and direction
from his starting point to his ending point.

The straight-line distance is

D = √(32² + 45²)
D = √(1,024 + 2,025)
D = √3,049 = 55.22 meters

The direction is the angle whose tangent is (32/45) south of east.

tan⁻¹(32/45) = tan⁻¹(0.7111...) = 35.42° south of east.

Suppose the Sun appeared to you 900 times dimmer than it does now. How far away from the Sun would you be? (A) 1/9 AU (B) 3 AU
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'c': 30 AUs

Explanation:

For a spherical wave front emitted by sun with total energy 'E' the energy density over the surface when it is at a distance 'r' from the sun is given by

e=\frac{E}{4\pi r^{2}}

This energy per unit area is sensed by observer as intensity of the sun.

Let the initial intensity of sun at a distance r_{1} be e_{1}

Thus if the sun becomes 900 times dimmer we have

e'=\frac{e_{1}}{900}\\\\\frac{E}{4\pi r_{2}^{2}}=\frac{1}{900}\times \frac{E}{4\pi r_{1}^{2}}\\\\\Rightarrow r_{2}^{2}={r_{1}^{2}}\times 900\\\\\therefore r_{2}={r_{1}}\times {30}

Thus the distance increases 30 times.
