Answer:

The acceleration of a boat if the resultant force on it is 4000 N and its mass is 1240 kg is 3.2 m/s².

Explanation:

Given

Force F = 4000 N

Mass m = 1240 kg

To determine

Acceleration a = ?

Important Tip:

The acceleration of a boat can be found using the formula F = ma

Using the formula

$F = ma$

where

F is the force (N)

m is the mass (kg)

a is the acceleration (m/s²)

now substituting F = 4000, m = 1240 in the formula

$F = ma$

$4000\:=\:1240\:\times a$

Switch sides

$1240a=4000$

Divide both sides by 1240

$\frac{1240a}{1240}=\frac{4000}{1240}$

Simplify

$a=\frac{100}{31}$

$a=3.2$ m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of a boat if the resultant force on it is 4000 N and its mass is 1240 kg is 3.2 m/s².

Two particles each of mass m and charge q are suspended by strings of length / from a common point. Find the angle e that each s

ozzi

Answer:

$\theta =\left (\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}\times mg} \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Explanation:

Let the length of the string is L.

Let T be the tension in the string.

Resolve the components of T.

As the charge q is in equilibrium.

T Sinθ = Fe ..... (1)

T Cosθ = mg .......(2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2), we get

tan θ = Fe / mg

$tan\theta =\frac{\frac{kq^{2}}{AB^{2}}}{mg}$

$tan\theta =\frac{\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}Sin^{\theta }}}}{mg}$

$tan\theta =\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}Sin^{2}\theta \times mg}$

$tan\theta\times Sin^{2}\theta =\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}\times mg}$

As θ is very small, so tanθ and Sinθ is equal to θ.

$\theta ^{3} =\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}\times mg}$

$\theta =\left (\frac{kq^{2}}{4L^{2}\times mg} \right )^{\frac{1}{3}}$

a 2100-kg car drives with a speed of 18 m/s onb a flat road around a curve that has a radius of curvature of 83m. The coefficien

Answer:

<u>The magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

Explanation:

Using the definition of the centripetal force we have:

$\Sigma F=ma_{c}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

Where:

m is the mass of the car
v is the speed
R is the radius of the curvature

Now, the force acting in the motion is just the friction force, so we have:

$F_{f}=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}$

$F_{f}=2100\frac{18^{2}}{83}$

$F_{f}=8197.60 \: N$

<u>Therefore the magnitude of the friction force is 8197.60 N</u>

I hope it helps you!

A large body collides with a stationary small body from the rear end. How do the bodies behave if the collision is inelastic?.

alexdok [17]

If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.
