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

A VW Beetle goes from 0 to 60.0 mi/h with an acceleration of +2.35 m/s^2. (a) How much time does it take for the beetle to reach
Firlakuza [10]
Im going to tell you what to do but not the result. So pay close attention: the first thing you need to do is convert miles/h to m/s. Then for the part a) <span>divide the final velocity by the initial velocity. That will give you the amount of it will take to accelerate to the final velocity.Now for the part b you </span>use the formula v=vo+at. I hope this can help you

A spherical, conducting shell of inner radius r1= 10 cm and outer radius r2 = 15 cm carries a total charge Q = 15 μC . What is t
lutik1710 [3]

a) E = 0

b) 3.38\cdot 10^6 N/C

Explanation:

a)

We can solve this problem using Gauss theorem: the electric flux through a Gaussian surface of radius r must be equal to the charge contained by the sphere divided by the vacuum permittivity:

\int EdS=\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

where

E is the electric field

q is the charge contained by the Gaussian surface

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field at a distance of

r = 12 cm = 0.12 m

Here we are between the inner radius and the outer radius of the shell:

r_1 = 10 cm\\r_2 = 15 cm

However, we notice that the shell is conducting: this means that the charge inside the conductor will distribute over its outer surface.

This means that a Gaussian surface of radius r = 12 cm, which is smaller than the outer radius of the shell, will contain zero net charge:

q = 0

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is also zero:

E = 0

b)

Here we want to find the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of

r = 20 cm = 0.20 m

from the centre of the shell.

Outside the outer surface of the shell, the electric field is equivalent to that produced by a single-point charge of same magnitude Q concentrated at the centre of the shell.

Therefore, it is given by:

E=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}

where in this problem:

Q=15 \mu C = 15\cdot 10^{-6} C is the charge on the shell

r=20 cm = 0.20 m is the distance from the centre of the shell

Substituting, we find:

E=\frac{15\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.20)^2}=3.38\cdot 10^6 N/C

Suppose you had the same laser and diffraction grating from the previous question but now you had a flat detection screen. You w
kolezko [41]

Answer:

measuring the zero intensity point, we can deduce the movement of the screen.

The distance from the center of the pattern to the first zero is proportional to the distance to the screen,

Explanation:

The expression for the diffraction phenomenon is

           a sin θ = m λ

for the case of destructive interference. In general the detection screen is quite far from the grid, let's use trigonometry to find the angles

           tan θ = y / L

     

in these experiments the angles are small

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

          sunt θ = y / L

we substitute

          a \frac{y}{L}= m  λ

           y = m L λ / a

therefore, by carefully measuring the zero intensity point, we can deduce the movement of the screen.

 

The distance from the center of the pattern to the first zero is proportional to the distance to the screen, so you can know where the displacement occurs, it should be clarified that these displacements are very small so the measurement system must be capable To measure quantities on the order of hundredths of a millimeter, a micrometer screw could be used.

The graph shows the displacement of a mouse
hram777 [196]

The farthest position the mouse reaches inside the tunnel is 4 meters into the tunnel.

From the graph,

The positions reached after,

5 s = 4 m

10 s = 2 m

20 s = 2 m

35 s = 3 m

40 s = 0 m

So the farthest position here is 4 m into the tunnel.

The rate of change of positions is displacement. So displacement will be change in initial and final positions divided by change in time.

s = Δx / Δt

Therefore, the farthest position the mouse reaches inside the tunnel is 4 meters into the tunnel.

A tiger started running when it saw a deer running at uniform velocity 2m/s at 15m far from it ..if the tiger ran at acceleratio
Masteriza [31]
You need to set their position functions equal to one another and so for the time t when that is true. That is when the tiger and the deer are in the same place meaning the tiger catches the dear
Xdear= 2t+15 deer position function.
(I integrated the velocity function )
To get the Tigers position function you must integrate the acceleration twice. This becomes
Xtiger=t^2
Now t^2=2t+15
Time t is when the tiger catches the deer
t^2-2t-15=0
(t-5)(t+3)=0 factored
t=5s is the answer you use (t=-3 is a meaningless solution)
