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.

How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)
poizon [28]

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec

What process is occurring in the picture?
Alex777 [14]

Two fat black arrows are swimming along together, when they see a single skinny black arrow coming toward them. They are afraid of strangers, and they know that the skinny one must be mean and tough if it's not afraid to travel alone. So they turn to the side and get out of the skinny arrow's way.
