A speed boat moving at a velocity of 25 m/s runs out of gas and drifts to a stop 3 minutes later 100 meters away. What is its ra

mr_godi [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The rate of deceleration is -0.14 $m/s^{2}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Using one of the equations of motion;

v = u + at

where;

v = final velocity of the boat = 0m/s (since the boat decelerates to a stop)

u = initial velocity of the boat = 25m/s

a = acceleration of the boat

t = time taken for the boat to accelerate/decelerate from u to v = 3 minutes

<em>Convert the time t = 3 minutes to seconds;</em>

=> 3 minutes = 3 x 60 seconds = 180seconds.

<em>Substitute the values of v, u, t into the equation above. We have;</em>

v = u + at

=> 0 = 25 + a(180)

=> 0 = 25 + 180a

<em>Make a the subject of the formula;</em>

=> 180a = 0 - 25

=> 180a = -25

=> a = -25/180

=> a = -0.14 $m/s^{2}$

The negative value of a shows that the boat is decelerating.

Therefore, the rate of deceleration of the speed boat is 0.14 $m/s^{2}$

A 1.5-kg block slides at rest starts sliding down a snow-covered hill Point A, which has an altitude of 10 m. There is no fricti

damaskus [11]

Answer:

the speed of the block when it reaches point B is 14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of the block slides = 1.5 - kg

height = 10 m

Force constant = 200 N/m

distance of rough surface patch = 20 m

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.15

In order to determine the speed of the block when it reaches point B.

We consider the equation for the energy conservation in the system which can be represented by:

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$\dfrac{1}{2}v^2=gh$

$v^2=2 \times g \times h$

$v^2=2 \times 9.8 \times 10$

$v=\sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 10$

$v=\sqrt{196$

v = 14 m/s

Thus; the speed of the block when it reaches point B is 14 m/s
