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

Why is it important to understand the limitations of the data?
Nimfa-mama [501]
Limitations are important to understand for placing research findings in context, interpreting the validity of the scientific work, and ascribing a credibility level to the conclusions of published research. This goes beyond listing the magnitude and direction of random and systematic errors and validity problems.

So, I'm probably wrong but it would be a 3/6 chance of landing on a primary color because three of the six are primary and the three other are not primary colors, therefore it is a 3/6 chance.
