A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +15.2 m/s in a time of 22.3 s.

The combined mass of the boat and trailer is 573 kg. The frictional force acting on the trailer can be ignored. What is the tension in the hitch that connects the trailer to the car?

Answer:

The tension is 384 N.

Explanation:

To calculate the acceleration, we know the velocity and the time, so:

a=Δv/t

a=\frac{15\frac{m}{s} }{22.3s}

a=0.67\frac{m}{s^{2} }

To calculate the tension we need to apply Newton's second law:

∑F=m*a

F=573Kg *0.67\frac{m}{s^{2} }\\F=384N

An electric current in a wire flows to the West in a magnetic field directed
vredina [299]

Answer: Current in a wire

We can use the same right-hand rule as we did for the moving charges—pointer finger in the direction the current is flowing, middle finger in the direction of the magnetic field, and thumb in the direction the wire is pushed.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.
