Answer:

The International Astronomical Union (IAU)  has accepted 88 constellations in the sky.

Explanation:

Constellations has been used since the beginnings of civilizations and each one of them named them as they considered appropiate. It means Greeks' constellations were different than the ones described by Chinese, so it was necessary to gather all these constellations and make a great record with all of them, but there was a problem: Some constellations from different civilizations overlaped because they shared the same stars. There was necessary to put some order on this and that is when in 1922 the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defned a set of 88 moderm constellations  that would become the international standard to look at the night sky. Each one of them is unique and does not share stars with the other constellations.

A boat of mass 250 kg is coasting, with its engine in neutral, through the water at speed 1.00 m/s when it starts to rain with i
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. We use the conservation of momentum for before the raining and after. And also we take into account that in 0.5h the accumulated water is

100kg/h*0.5h = 50kg

p_{b}=p_{a}\\M_{b}v_{b}=(M_{b}+m_{r})v_{a}\\v_{a}=\frac{M_{b}v_{b}}{M_{b}+m_{r}}=\frac{250kg*1\frac{m}{s}}{250kg+50kg}=0.83\frac{m}{s}

2. the momentum does not conserve because the drag force of water makes that the boat loses velocity

3. If we assume that the force of the boat before the raining is

F=ma=m\frac{v-v_{0}}{t-t_{0}}=250kg\frac{1m}{s^{2}}=250N

where we have assumed that the acceleration of the boat is 1m/s{2} just before the rain starts

And if we take the net force as

F_{net}=M_{b}a_{net}=F-F_{d}=250N-bv^{2}\\F_{net}=250N-0.5N\frac{s^{2}}{m^{2}}(1\frac{m}{s})^{2}=249.5N\\a_{net}=\frac{249.5N}{M_{b}}=\frac{249.5N}{250kg}=0.99\frac{m}{s^{2}}

where we take v=1m/s because we are taking into account tha velocity just after the rain stars.

I hope this is useful for you

regards
