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

An automobile of mass 2000 kg moving at 30 m/s is braked suddenly with a constant braking force of 10000 N. How far does the car
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of automobile = 2000 kg

speed = 30 m/s

Braking force = 10000 N

For, The acceleration is

Using newton's formula

F = ma

Where, f = force

m= mass

a = acceleration

Put the value of F and m into the formula

-10000 =2000\times a

Negative sing shows the braking force.

It shows the direction of force is opposite of the motion.

a = -\dfrac{10000}{2000}

a=-5\ m/s^2

For the distance,

Using third equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, v= final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = stopping distance of car

Put the value in the equation

0-30^2=2\times(-5)\times s

s = 90\ m

Hence, The car traveled the distance before stopping is 90 m.
