The sailboat is about 0.83m/sec (rounded to the nearest tenth).
To find speed, you would calculate distance over time.
100 meters/120 seconds = 0.83 meters per second
Explanation:
(a) Net force acting on the block is as follows.

or, ma = -mg Sin (\theta)[/tex]
a = 
= 
= -3.35 
According to the kinematic equation of motion,

Distance traveled by the block before stopping is as follows.
s = 
= 
= 21.5 m
According to the kinematic equation of motion,
v =
0 = 
= 7.16 sec
Therefore, before coming to rest the surface of the plane will slide the box till 7.16 sec.
(b) When the block is moving down the inline then net force acting on the block is as follows.

ma = 
a = 
= 
= 3.35 
Kinematics equation of the motion is as follows.
s = 
21.5 m = 
= 
= 3.58 sec
Hence, total time taken by the block to return to its starting position is as follows.
t = 
= 7.16 sec + 3.58 sec
= 10.7 sec
Thus, we can conclude that 10.7 sec time it take to return to its starting position.
Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on that system. Mathematically can be written as,

Here,
v = speed of the exhaust gases measured relative to the rocket.
= Rate of change of mass with respect to time
Our values are given as,


Replacing we have that
