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.

Constructive interference of two coherent waves will occur if the path difference is:___.
Olegator [25]

Constructive interference of two coherent waves will occur if the path difference is λ/2.

<h3>Constructive interference:</h3>

When two waves are in phase and their maxima add, a process known as constructive interference occurs where the combined amplitude of the two waves equals the sum of their individual amplitudes.

The resultant wave is created by adding the amplitudes of two waves that are in phase and traveling in the same direction. The waves in this instance are said to have experienced beneficial interference. The upward displacement of the medium is higher than the displacement of the two interfering pulses because upward displacement occurs when the waves experience constructive interference. When the phase difference between the waves is an even multiple of (180°), constructive interference happens.

FromTheMoon [43]
False, because the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes an aurora.

The local high school is installing new bleachers at the stadium and must also add handrails to meet code. The students know the
Advocard [28]

Answer:

The handrails must be approximately 10.63 meters long

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The height of the bleachers, h = 8 m

The depth of the bleachers, d = 7 m

The length of the hand rails to go along the bleachers from bottom to top is given by Pythagoras' Theorem as follows;

The length of the hand rail = √(d² + h²)

∴ The length of the hand rail = √(7² + 8²) = √113 ≈ 10.63

In order for the handrails to go along the bleachers from top to bottom, they must be approximately 10.63 meters long.
