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.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The work done on the canister by the 5.0 N force during this time is

54.06 Joules.

Explanation:

Let the initial kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2} mv_1^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*3.6^{2} = 19.44 J in the x direction

Let the the final kinetic energy of the canister be

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} mv_2^{2} = \frac{1}{2} *3*7.0^{2} = 73.5 J in the y direction

Therefore from the Newton's first law of motion, the effect of the force is the change of momentum and the difference in energy between the initial and the final

= 73.5 J - 19.44 J = 54.06 J

A 53-N force is needed to keep a 50.0-kg box sliding across a flat surface at a constant velocity. What is the coefficient of ki
earnstyle [38]

The weight of the box is (mass) x (gravity) = (50 kg) x (9.8m/s²) = 490 newtons.

If the box is sliding at constant speed, and not speeding up or slowing down,
that means that the horizontal forces on it add up to zero. 

Since you're pushing on it with 53N in <em><u>that</u></em> direction, friction must be pulling
on it with 53N in the <u><em>other</em></u> direction.

 The 53N of friction is (the weight) x (the coefficient of kinetic friction).

                                                  53N  =  (490N) x (coefficient).

Divide each side by  490N :  Coefficient = (53N) / (490N)  =  0.1082 .

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, that's    <em>0.11 </em>.      (choice 'd')

B. Assuming the acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2, what is the instantaneous velocity of the
goblinko [34]

We have that the instantaneous velocity of the shuttlecock when it hits the ground is

V_{int}=\sqrt{U^2+19.6H}

From the question we are told

Assuming the acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2, what is the instantaneous velocity of the

shuttlecock when it hits the ground? Show your work below.

Generally the equation for acceleration  is mathematically given as

a=v \frac{dv}{dx}\\\\\Therefore\\\\\2ah=v^2-u^2

Where

acceleration is still -9.81 m/s2,

Hence,

V^2-U^2=2(-9.81)*-H

Therefore

V_{int}=\sqrt{U^2+19.6H}
