The boat is initially at equilibrium since it seems to start off at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. If the wind applies a force of 950 N, then it is applying an acceleration <em>a</em> of
950 N = (2300 kg) <em>a</em>
<em>a</em> = (950 N) / (2300 kg)
<em>a</em> ≈ 0.413 m/s²
Take east to be positive and west to be negative, so that the boat has an initial velocity of -5.5 m/s. Then after 11.5 s, the boat will attain a velocity of
<em>v</em> = -5.5 m/s + <em>a</em> (11.5 s)
<em>v</em> = -0.75 m/s
which means the wind slows the boat down to a velocity of 0.75 m/s westward.
Answer:
A) 350 N
B) 58.33 N
C) 35 kg
D) 35 kg
Explanation:
If we use that g = 10 m/s^2, then the acceleration of gravity on the Moon will be 10/6 m/s^2 = 5/3 m/s*2
The weight of the object on Earth is given by:
Weight = mass * g = 35 * 10 = 350 N
The weight of the object on the Moon:
Weight = mass * gmoon = 35 * 5/3 = 58.33 N
The mass of the object on Earth is 35 kg
The mass of the object on the Moon is exactly the same as on the Earth (35 kg) since the mass is a quantity inherent to the object and not to its location.
The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².
<h3>What will be the maximum acceleration of the truck to avoid tipping over?</h3>
The maximum acceleration is obtained by taking clockwise moments about the tipping point of rotation.
Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment
Ft * 1.58 m = F * 0.67 m
where
- Ft is tipping force = mass * acceleration, a
- F is weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity, g
m * a * 1.58 = m * 9.81 * 0.67
a = 4.15 m/s²
The maximum acceleration the truck can have so that the refrigerator does not tip over is 4.15 m/s².
In conclusion, the acceleration of the truck is found by taking moments about the tipping point.

The first scientist to introduce the concept of inertia was Galileo
It should be 0.25kg because you converter from g to kg and since 1g<1kg so you move the decimal to the left
