A 2000-kg sailboat experiences an eastward force of 2000 N by the ocean tide and a wind force against its sails with magnitude o

Answer:

The force exerted by the ocean tide is directed to the right (east).

The force exerted by the wind is directed to the northwest (45° N of W).

We should separate the x- and y- components of the wind force, and evaluate each component separately.

F_x = 6000\cos(\pi/4)(-\^{x})\\F_y = 6000\sin(\pi/4)(+\^{y})

We denote the direction to the right as the positive direction, so the x-component of the wind force is in the negative direction.

The resultant force is as follows:

F_R = [2000 - 4242.64](\^{x}) + [4242.64](\^{y})\\F_R = -2242.64\^{x} + 4242.64\^{y}

The resultant acceleration can be found by Newton's Second Law:

F = ma\\\\a_R = F_R/m = -1.12\^{x} + 2.12\^{y}

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration is

|a_R| = \sqrt{(1.12)^2 + (2.12)^2} = 2.4 ~m/s^2

At depths of greater than 60 m, ice moves by plastic deformation. What causes this transition from brittle to ductile behavior?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Increase in the intensity of pressure allows very less deformation

Explanation:

For the water the variation of pressure at any depth is directly proportional to the depth of the water above that level.

Thus, at depth greater than 60 m the intensity of pressure on ice is very high and therefore very little deformation is possible.

Hence, the transition from brittle to ductile behavior is observed.

Can a molecule have bond dipoles but not have a molecular dipole?
MissTica

Answer: Yes

Explanation: A molecule has a bond dipole but not have a molecular dipole.

Dipole moment:  dipole moment is the product of the distribution of the charge of the molecules and the distance between of the molecules.  

Example:  

lets take an example of  CO_{2} molecule in which two electro negative oxygen atoms are attached with Carbon atom. Oxygen being electro negative will attract the shared pair electrons towards itself and  partial negative charge will create on oxygen atom and partial positive charge on carbon atom C.

due to formation of partial positive and partial negative charges dipole moment is created between oxygen and Carbon bond on both the sides in opposite direction.

Since, the dipole moment acting in opposite direction the net dipole moment in the molecule is zero.

Hence, Yes, a molecule has bond dipoles but not have a molecular dipole.

If The dimensions of a brick that weighs 25N are 0.19m x 0.07m x 0.095m. What pressure does the brick exert on the ground if it
valina [46]
1 newton per square meter = 1 pascal of pressure.

The largest face of the brick is (0.19 x 0.095) = .01805 square meter

25N/0.01805 = 1,385 newtons per square meter = 1,385 pascal  = 1.385 kPa

Give an example of a compound machine. Explain how at least two simple machines are part of the complex machine. Thank you !!
kaheart [24]

A compound machine is a combination of at least two simple machines. Simple machines can be a lever, a wedge, a while + axle, an incline plane, a pulley, and a screw.

There are many examples of compound machines. One of them is a showel that combines a wedge (the scoop part of shovel) and a lever (the handle to transfer the force to lift).

A much more complex compound machine is a bicycle, comprising simple machines ranging from wheels and axles, to screws, and levers (think of the pedals).
