Answer:

17.46° W of N

Explanation:

His prow must point westward so that the westward component of his total velocity is equal to the eastward river speed.

3 = 10sinθ

sinθ = 3/10

θ = 17.4576... or about 17.46° W of N

it will take him 5 / 10cos17.46 = 0.52414... hrs. or about 31 min 27 s to cross.

A wire is stretched right to its breaking point by a 5000 N force. A longer wire made of the same material has the same diameter
leva [86]

Answer:

Equal to 5000N

Explanation:

The stress on the material is defined by force per unit of cross-sectional area. So it depends on the force and the diameter of the wire, which is the same for both wires. The material that defines the breaking point, is also the same. Therefore, both wires have their breaking point the same at 5000N. The wire length plays no role in here.

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force  </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

     F=ma

     a=\frac{F}{m}

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

A 720 kg roller-coaster starts off from Location A. Assuming friction does not impede the car's motion, what will be the change
vaieri [72.5K]
We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!
