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.

Formular for coefficient of friction<br>​
Bumek [7]

Answer:

hope you like it mark as brainliest

Explanation:

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact.

The coefficient of friction (fr) is a number that is the ratio of the resistive force of friction (Fr) divided by the normal or perpendicular force (N) pushing the objects together. It is represented by the equation: fr = Fr/N.

A 66-kg skier starts from rest at the top of a 1200-m-long trail which drops a total of 170 m from top to bottom. at the bottom,

I believe this question ask for the energy dissipated by friction.

The overall energy equation for this is:

F = PE – KE

where F is friction loss, PE is potential energy = m g h, KE is kinetic energy = 0.5 m v^2

 

<span>F = 66 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 170 m – 0.5 * 66  kg * (11 m/s)^2</span>

<span>F = 105,963 J  ~  106,000 J </span>
