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.

Why does a lone pair of electrons occupy more space around a central atom than a bonding pair of electrons?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The lone pair of electrons occupy more space because the electrostatic force becomes weaker.

Explanation:

When there is a bond pair of electrons in the 2 positively charged the atomic nuclei draw the electron density towards them, thereby reducing the bond diameter.

In the case of the lone pair, only 1 nucleus is present, and the enticing electrostatic force becomes weaker and the intensity of the electrons will be increases. Therefore, the lone pair occupies more space than the pair of bonds.

We observe that a small sample of material placed in a non-uniform magnetic field accelerates toward a region of stronger field.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<em>C) It is either ferromagnetic or paramagnetic</em>

Explanation:

The complete question is given below

We observe that a small sample of material placed in a non-uniform magnetic field accelerates toward a region of stronger field. What can we say about the material?

A) It must be ferromagnetic.

B) It must be paramagnetic.

C) It is either ferromagnetic or paramagnetic.

D) It must be diamagnetic.

A ferromagnetic material will respond towards a magnetic field. They are those materials that are attracted to a magnet. Ferromagnetism is associated with our everyday magnets and is the strongest form of magnetism in nature. Iron and its alloys is very good example of a material that readily demonstrate ferromagnetism.

Paramagnetic materials are weakly attracted to an externally applied magnetic field. They usually accelerate towards an electric field, and form internal induced magnetic field in the direction of the external magnetic field.

The difference is that ferromagnetic materials can retain their magnetization when the externally applied magnetic field is removed, unlike paramagnetic materials that do not retain their magnetization.

In contrast, a diamagnetic material is repelled away from an externally applied magnetic field.

Una niña está empujando un baúl. El PESO del baúl es de 230 N y el roce es de 50 N, la niña sólo logra ejercer una fuerza de 30
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Su padre necesita aplicar una fuerza de 20 newtons en la misma dirección que la fuerza aplicada por su hija.

Explanation:

Asúmase que el baúl se mueve en una superficie horizontal. La fuerza de rozamiento dada por el problema es la fuerza de rozamiento estático máximo, se requiere una fuerza externa antiparalela a la fuerza de rozamiento estático máximo para que el baúl se empiece a mover. La ecuación de equilibrio de fuerzas horizontales sobre el baúl es:

\Sigma F = P - f = 0

Donde:

P - Fuerza externa aplicada sobre el baúl, medida en newtons.

f - Fuerza de rozamiento estático máximo, medida en newtons.

Se despeja la fuerza externa:

P = f

Si f = 50\,N, entonces:

P = 50\,N

Si la niña solo logra ejercer una fuerza de 30 newtons, su padre necesita aplicar una fuerza de 20 newtons paralela a aquella fuerza.
