The acceleration of the boat is
(eastward)
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law, which states that:
F = ma (1)
where
F is the net force on a body
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
First of all, we have to find the net force acting on the boat. We have:
- The force of the motor, 100 N eastward
- The force of the air resistance, 60 N westward
So the net force is:
F = 100 N - 60 N = 40 N (eastward)
Now we can apply eq.(1), using:
F = 40 N
m = 20 kg (mass of the boat)
and solving for a, we find the acceleration:

And the direction is the same as the net force (eastward).

Question: A cylinder is submerged in water as illustrated in the diagram. Which of the following statements is true?
Answer: The pressure at D is less than at B.
Explanation: this is because B has less amount of pressure and D has a lot more pressure weighing it down and B has less pressure

Answer:
4 seconds
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
v = 20 m/s
a = 5 m/s²
Find: t
v = at + v₀
20 m/s = (5 m/s²) t + 0 m/s
t = 4 s
Answer:
answer is B
Explanation:
The table below shows the wavelengths for some electromagnetic waves
The X-axis of the H-R Diagram indicates the star's surface temperature in degrees Kelvin. The Y-axis, on the other hand, indicates luminosity, or brightness.
Main sequence refers to a roughly diagonal, slightly S-curved line stretching between the upper-left and lower-right corners on which main sequence stars chart. They maintain a predictable relationship between luminosity and temperature: the brighter, the hotter. The upper-right quadrant of the H-R diagram is home to newly discovered red giants while the lower-left quadrant of the H-R Diagram belongs almost exclusively to white dwarfs.
