eimsori [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: False

Explanation:

Winds are named for the cardinal direction they blow from.  Hence, a wind that <em>"blows towards the east"</em>, logically should <u>come from the west </u>and is called a <em>"west wind"</em>.

In thise sense, one of the best examples of this type of wind are the <em>Westerlies</em>, which are are prevailing winds that blow from the west at midlatitudes and have the characteristic that are stronger during winter and weaker during summer.

Therefore, the statement is false.

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.61 m/s in a distance of 0.39 m. If the combined mass of the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

35.3 N

Explanation:

U = 0, V = 0.61 m/s, s = 0.39 m

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 as

0.61 × 0.61 = 0 + 2 × a × 0.39

a = 0.477 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

F = 74 × 0.477 = 35.3 N
