A speedboat is approaching a dock at 25 m/s (56 mph). When the dock is 150 m away, the driver begins to slow down. a) What accel

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) -2.038 m/s²

b) 40.33 mph

c) 312.5 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-25^2}{2\times 150}\\\Rightarrow a=-2.083\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the boat is -2.083 m/s² if the boat will stop at 150 m.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times -1\times 150+25^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.03\ m/s$

Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 18.03 m/s

Converting to mph

$1\ mile=1609.34\ m$

$1\ h=3600\ seconds$

$18.03\times \frac{3600}{1609.34}=40.33\ mph$

Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 40.33 mph

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-25^2}{2\times -1}\\\Rightarrow s=312.5\ m$

The distance at which the boat will have to start decelerating is 312.5 m

Consider a box sitting in the back of a pickup. The pickup accelerates to the right, and because the bed of the pickup is sticky

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The force would be coming from the right causing the box the lean/ slide to left, if it wasnt sticky.

A worker pushes a 7 kg shipping box along a roller track. Assume friction is small enough to be ignored because of the rollers.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

a) Fₓ = 23.5 N

b) Net force = Fₓ

Explanation:

An image of the question as described is attached to this solution.

From the image attached, the forces acting on the box include the weight of the box, the normal reaction of the surface on the box, the applied force on the box and the Frictional force opposing the motion of the box (which is negligible and equal to 0)

a) From the diagram, the horizontal component of the force is

Fₓ = 25 cos 20° = 23.49 N = 25 N

b) Again, from the diagram attached, doing a force balance on the box, in the horizontal direction, we obtain

Net force = Fₓ - Frictional force

But frictional force is 0 N

Net force = Fₓ

Hope this Helps!!!
