Answer:

The sailboat moves southward at a force of 1000 Newton

Explanation:

The sailboat is moving south at 2500 newtons. The opposite force is only 1500 newtons, which is less than 2500 units. The greater force cancels out the lesser force. In order for the boat to be stopped or pushed back, the water and air resistance would of had to of been greater than or equal to 2500 Newtons. Because of this opposite force, the boat continues to move but with a lesser amount of force. You can use subtraction to find the remaining force the boat has.

2500 Newtons - 1500 Newtons = 1000 Newtons

If the Civil War had begun as a war to restore the Union, how did this Proclamation changed the purpose of the war?
OlgaM077 [116]
The Proclamation changed the purpose of the war into one of freeing slaves completely, making the long war into one about wether or not slavery would remain in place . The South claiming that they needed slaves to work on their plantations and needed slaves to help around was a major part of the war . They wanted to continue on this racist act of holding “different” people under their feet. Many say now that the this was not a reason for the war nor the separation between the north and south but when looking back at every statement made by every southern state slavery is mentioned for their uprising .

True or False <br> The sea floor is smooth and level
Zina [86]

Answer: False

The sea floor is also known as the seabed or the ocean floor. It is made of mafic rocks (crystallized matter from silicate magma) deposits and minerals including basalt, gabbro, olivine, serpentine, peridotite, and ore minerals from VMS (Volcanic Massive Sulfide). Rocks do not have a smooth surface, therefore, the seabed is not smooth and level.
