Answer:

The magnitude of Adams' force is 88 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's law ∑ forces in direction of motion is equal to

mass multiplied by the acceleration

There are two forces here the friction force and Adams' force

Adams' force is in direction of motion

Friction force is opposite to direction of motion

→ Friction force = μ R,

where μ is the coefficient of friction and R is the normal reaction force

of the boat

→ R = mg

where m is the mass of the boat and g is the acceleration of gravity

→ m = 47 kg , g = 9.8 m/s²

→ R = mg

Substitute the values in the rule

→ R = 47 × 9.8 = 460.6 N

→ Friction force = μ R

→ μ = 0.13 , R = 460.0 N

Substitute the values in the rule

→ Friction force = 0.13 × 460.0 = 59.878 N

→ ∑ Forces in direction of motion = mass × acceleration

→ F - Friction force = mass × acceleration

→ Friction force = 59.878 N , m = 47 kg , a = 0.6 m/s²

Substitute the values in the rule

→ F - 59.878 = 47 × 0.6

→ F - 59.878 = 28.2

Add 59.878 to both sides

→ F = 88.078 N ≅ 88 N

<em>The magnitude of Adams' force is 88 N </em>

Coulomb is a very large unit for practical use. Justify your answer if 10^10 electrons are transferred from a body/second
zlopas [31]
Given:

10^10 electrons per second

To justify that coulomb is a very large unit for practical use, we need to convert the quantity of electron given to Coulombs:

From literature, 

1 Coulomb is equivalent to 6.242×10^18 electrons<span>.

So,

= 10^10 electrons * (1 coulomb/</span><span>6.242×10^18</span> electrons) / second
<span>= 1.602 x 10^-9 coulumbs

This value is too small to be used in an actual setting.

Explain this quote "ambition beats genius 99% of the time. "
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The idea that hard work is the most important aspect of new inventions existed before Edison gave his quote, however.

The idea behind this quote is that it is easy to have a good idea, or a creative insight. However, to follow through with that idea, and turn it into a reality, takes a level of patience and dedication that few people have.

Total potential and kinetic energy of an object.
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The Total Mechanical Energy

As already mentioned, the mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (i.e., kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (i.e., potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.
