Answer:
0m/s²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial velocity of the boat = 8m/s
Final velocity = 8m/s
Time taken = 4s
Unknown:
Acceleration of the boat = ?
Solution:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.
It is mathematically expressed as;
A =
A is the acceleration
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
t is the time taken
Insert the parameters and solve;
A =
= 0m/s²
I attached a picture of the diagram associated with this question.
Now,
When we check the vertical components of the tension in the rope, we will find that we have two equal components acting upwards.
These two components support the weight and each of them has a value of TcosΘ
The net force acting on the body is zero.
Fnet=Force of tension acting upwards-Force due to weight acting downwards
0 = 2TcosΘ -W
W = 2TcosΘ
T = W / 2cosΘ
