A boat has a mass of 7660 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4080 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 680 N due

east and the water exerts a resistive force of 1160 N due east. Take west to be the positive direction. What is the boat's acceleration, with correct sign

Answer:

0.29 m/s due west.

Explanation:

According to newton's second law,

Net force acting on an object = mass×acceleration

From the question,

F+F₁+F₂ = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = The force generated from the engine, F₁ = Force exerted by the wind, F₂ = Force exerted due to the water, m = mass of the boat, a = acceleration of the boat.

Given: F = 4080 N , F₁ = -680 N(east), F₂ = -1160 N(east). m = 7660 kg

substitute into equation 1

4080-680-1160 = 7660(a)

2240 = 7660a

Therefore,

a = 2440/7660

a = 0.29 m/s due west.

Haley is trying to pull an object upward. The below forces are acting on the object.
ra1l [238]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a reference system.

Suppose that the positive direction of the reference system is upward.

We have that the sum of forces in the vertical axis is given by:

Fy = Fp - Fg

Substituting values:

Fy = 5500 - 6000

Fy = - 500

The negative sign means that the direction of the force with respect to the defined coordinate system is downward.

Answer:

The net force is:

↓ 500N

How does nuclear fusion produce energy
prisoha [69]
The fusion reaction that is easiest to accomplish is the reaction between two hydrogen isotopes: deuterium, extracted from water and tritium, produced during the fusion reaction through contact with lithium. When deuterium and tritium nuclei fuse, they form a helium nucleus, a neutron and a lot of energy.

See the diagram above. Which of the following is the best prediction of what would happen if you increased the distance in secti
Inessa [10]

By the definition of wavelength, the answer is the letter D, the wavelength would decrease.

We can see in the diagram a wave motion.

A wave has some characteristics:

  • Has an amplitude, the distance from 0 to the crest (highest point in the y-direction, point (3) in the figure) it would see in the figure as (2)
  • Has wavelength, the distance between the crests.
  • Has a trough, the lowest point in the y-direction.

Now, if we increase the distance of the crests, by the definition shown above, we will increase the wavelength.

Therefore, the answer is letter D, the wavelength would increase.

A 29.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge while its far end is supported by a cable such that the beam is horizontal.
castortr0y [4]

The vertical component of force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,142.10N.

To find the answer, we need to know more about the tension.

<h3>How to find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam?</h3>
  • Let's draw the free body diagram of the system.
  • To find the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam, we have to balance the total vertical force to zero.

                      F_V+T sin\alpha -mg=0\\F_V=mg-Tsin\alpha \\

  • To find the answer, we have to find the tension,

                     Tlsin\alpha - mg\frac{l}{2}sin\beta =0\\ \\Tlsin\alpha = mg\frac{l}{2}sin\beta\\\\Tsin57=\frac{mg}{2}sin90\\\\T=\frac{mg}{2sin57} =169.43N

  • Thus, the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,

                F_V=(29*9.8)-(169.43*sin57)=142.10N

Thus, we can conclude that, the vertical component of force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam will be,142.10N.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The explorer should travel to reach base camp to 5.02 Km at 4.28° south of due west.

Explanation:

Using trigonometric function like Sen(Ф), Cos(Ф) and Tan(Ф) we can get distance and direction that the explorer should travel to reach base camp. When we discompound the vector X = 7.8*Cos(50) = 5.01 Km y y = 7.8 * Sen (50) - 5.6 = 5.975 - 5.6 (Km) = 0.375 (Km) so that Tan (\alpha ) = \frac{0.375}{5.01} = 4.28; \alpha = Arctang (\frac{0.375}{5.01}) = 4.28 (degree) to get how far we use Pythagorean theorem so R^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2} so that R=\sqrt{0.375^{2}+5.01^{2} } =5.02 (Km)
