A sailboat is moving across the water at 3.0 m/s. A gust of wind fills its sails and it accelerates at a constant 2.0 m/s2. At t

he same instant, a motorboat at rest starts its engines and accelerates at 4.0 m/s2. After 3.0 seconds have elapsed, find the velocity of the sailboat.

Answer:

v = 9 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the sailboat, u = 3 m/s

Acceleration of the sailboat, a=2\ m/s^2

Initial speed of the motorboat, u = 0

Acceleration of the motorboat, a=4\ m/s^2

Time elapsed, t = 3 s

To find,

The velocity of the sailboat

Solve,

Let v is the velocity of the sailboat after 3 seconds. By using the equation of kinematics, it can be calculated.

v=u+at

v=3\ m/s+2\ m/s^2\times 3\ s

v = 9 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the sailboat is 9 m/s.

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

KE = 50J

Explanation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \\\\ KE = \frac{1}{2}(4)(5)^{2} \\\\ KE = 2(25) \\\\ KE = 50J

A bike travels 4 miles in half an hour at what speed
Sloan [31]
8 miles per hour
because if it is moving at 4 miles every half hour that means you have to multiply it by two to get it in miles per hour and we all know that 4 times 2 is 8 so it would be 8 miles per hour =)

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

option c

Explanation:

The temperature must be constant. Ohms law states that the current running through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across it provided the temperature remains constant
