The force exerted by the wind on the sails of a sailboat is Fsail = 330 N north. The water exerts a force of Fkeel = 210 N east.

If the boat (including its crew) has a mass of 260 kg, what are the magnitude and direction of its acceleration? magnitude m/s2 direction ° north of east

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration is a_r = 1.50 \ m/s^2

The direction is  \theta =  32.5 6^o north of  east

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The force exerted by the wind is  F_{sail} =  (330 ) \ N \ north

   The force exerted by water is  F_{keel} =  (210  ) \ N \ east

      The mass of the boat(+ crew) is  m_b  =  260  \ kg

Now Force is mathematically represented as

      F =  ma

Now the acceleration towards the north is mathematically represented as

      a_n  =  \frac{F_{sail}}{m_b}

substituting values

       a_n  =  \frac{330 }{260}

      a_n  =  1.269 \ m/s^2

Now the acceleration towards the east is mathematically represented as

       a_e = \frac{F_{keel}}{m_b }

substituting values

      a_e = \frac{210}{260}

      a_e =0.808 \ m/s^2

The resultant acceleration is  

      a_r =  \sqrt{a_e^2 + a_n^2}

substituting values

     a_r =  \sqrt{(0.808)^2 + (1.269)^2}

      a_r = 1.50 \ m/s^2

The direction with reference from the north is evaluated as

Apply SOHCAHTOA

        tan \theta =  \frac{a_e}{a_n}

       \theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{a_e}{a_n } ]

substituting values

     \theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{0.808}{1.269 } ]

    \theta = tan ^{-1} [0.636 ]

   \theta =  32.5 6^o

What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 76. 0 kg of her mass on that knee?
Bad White [126]

The maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 76. 0 kg of her mass on that knee 119.28N.

Given,

m=76kg, μ=0.16, g=9.81 m/s^{2}

frictional force = mμg= 76*0.16*9.81= 119.28 N

<h3>Frictional force</h3>

An opposing force to the relative motion of two bodies in contact is known as frictional force. Always acting in the opposite direction from the direction of motion, frictional force is applied to a moving body. Because it resists motion, it aids in lowering the moving object's speed. The force is one of touch. Four broad categories can be made for the force of friction depending on the sort of motion that occurs between the two objects. Static friction is the force of friction between an object and the surface it is put on.

A 0 .1 kg pinball is fired horizontally by a springwith force constant 40 N/m. If the spring is depressed 10 cm and the ball col
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Explanation:

We can find out the velocity of pinball after being fired from the equation of conservation of mechanical energy

1/2 m v² = 1/2 k x² , m is mass of ball , v is velocity after firing , k is spring constant , x is depression in spring.

.1 x v² = 40 x .1 x .1

v = 2 m /s

ball of mass .1 , collides with velocity 2 m /s ,

from the equation of elastic collision

v₂ = (m₂ - m₁) u₁ / (m₂ + m₁) + 2m₁m₂u₂ / (m₂ + m₁)

m₁ ,u₁ are mass and velocity of first ball , m₂ , u₂ are mass and velocity of second mass , v₂ is velocity of second mass after collision.

u₁ = 2 , u₂ = 0 , m₁ = .1  m₂ = .3

v₂ = (.3 - .1 ) x 2/ (.3 + .1 )

= (.2 / .4 )x 2

= 1 m /s

So .3 kg ball will move with velocity of 1 m /s in the same direction as .1 m mass collided with it.

A 62.0-kg woman runs up a flight of stairs having a rise of 4.28 m in a time of 4.20 s. What average power did she supply? a) 63
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The average power is 619 W.

(B) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 62.0 kg

Height = 4.28 m

Time t = 4.20 s

We need to calculate the work done

Work done by woman

W=mgh

Where,

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Put the value into the formula

W=62\times9.8\times 4.28

W=2600.528 J

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

Where,

W = work done

t = time

Put the value in to the formula

P=\dfrac{2600.528}{4.20}

P=619\ W

Hence, The average power is 619 W.
