Two forces act on a 1250 kg sailboat as it moves through the water with an initial velocity of 11 m/s. The forward force of the
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The velocity of the boat 15 seconds later is 5.6 meters per second.

Explanation:

We assume that sailboat can be modelled as particle, so that we use solely translations equations. It is noticed that the sailboat is move by action of the wind and drag force of the water is opposed to such force, but the last force has a greater magnitude than the first one, meaning that net force is less than zero.

From Newton's Laws we have the following equation of equilibrium for the sailboat:

\Sigma F = F - f = m\cdot a (Eq. 1)

Where:

F - Force from the wind exerted on the sailboat, measured in newtons.

f - Drag force of the water, measured in newtons.

m - Mass of the sailboat, measured in kilograms.

a - Net acceleration of the sailboat, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that F = 3.90\times 10^{3}\,N, f = 4.35\times 10^{3}\,N and m = 1250\,kg, then the net acceleration of the sailboat is:

a = \frac{F-f}{m}

a = \frac{3.90\times 10^{3}\,N-4.35\times 10^{3}\,N}{1250\,kg}

a = -\frac{9}{25}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

If sailboat decelerates uniformly, then we can get the final velocity of the boat by using this equation of motion:

v = v_{o}+a\cdot t (Eq. 2)

Where:

v_{o}, v - Initial and final velocities of the sailboat, measured in meters per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we get that v_{o} = 11\,\frac{m}{s}, a = -\frac{9}{25}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and t = 15\,s, then the final velocity of the sailboat is:

v = 11\,\frac{m}{s} +\left(-\frac{9}{25}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}  \right)\cdot (15\,s)

v = 5.6\,\frac{m}{s}

The velocity of the boat 15 seconds later is 5.6 meters per second.

A square coil of wire with side 8.0 cm and 50 turns sits in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the c
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

area of the coil  A = .08 x .08 = 64 x 10⁻⁴ m ²

flux through the coil Φ = area of coil x no of turns x magnetic field

= 64 x 10⁻⁴ x 50 x B where B is magnetic field

emf induced = dΦ / dt = ( 64 x 10⁻⁴ x 50 x B - 0 ) / .2

= 1.6 B

current induced = emf induced / resistance

12 x 10⁻³ = 1.6 B / 15

B = 112.5 x 10⁻³ T .

A force Fof 40000 lbf is applied to rod AC the negative Y-direction. The rod is 1000 inches tall. A Force P of 25 lbf is applied
erastova [34]

Answer:

The answer is "effective stress at point B is 7382 ksi "

Explanation:

Calculating the value of Compressive Axial Stress:

\to \sigma y  =\frac{F}{A} = \frac{4 F}{( p d ^2 )} = \frac{(4 x ( - 40000 \ lbf))}{[ p \times (1 \ in)^2 ]} = - 50.9 \ ksi \\

Calculating Shear Transverse:

\to \frac{4v}{ 3 A} = \frac{4 (75 \ lbf + 25 \ lbf)}{ \frac{3 ( lni)^2}{4}}

        = \frac{4 (100 \ lbf)}{ \frac{3 ( lni)^2}{4}} \\\\ = \frac{400 \ lbf)}{ \frac{3 ( lni)^2}{4}} \\\\= 0.17 \ ksi

= R \times 200 \ in - P \times 100 \ in = 12500 \ lbf \times\  in

\to \sigma' =[ s y^2 +3( t \times y^2 + t yz^2 )] \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\

       = [ (-50.9)^2 +3((63.7)^2 +(0.17)^2 )] \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=[2590.81+ 3(4057.69)+0.0289]\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=[2590.81+12,173.07+0.0289] \times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=14763.9089\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\ = 7381.95445 \ ksi\\\\ = 7382 \ ksi

As you tune your radio to a higher frequency, from 88.5 FM to 103.3 FM, the wavelength of the wave that you are tuning in
olga_2 [115]

the relation that relates the speed of wave, frequency of wave and wavelength is given as

wavelength = \frac{speed}{frequency}

the speed of wave in a medium remains constant. hence the wavelength is inversely related to the frequency of wave.

that means, as the frequency is increased, the wavelength decreases and vice versa.

hence the correct choice is

B decreases
