A 2300 kg sailboat is moving west at 5.5 m/s when an eastward wind

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.

Explain how the motor takes advantages of electromagnetism to work?
Ostrovityanka [42]
Answer:
When current flows through the motor, the electromagnet rotates, causing a shaft to rotate as well. The rotating shaft moves other parts of the device.

Explanation:
An electric motor is a device that uses an electromagnet to change electrical energy to kinetic energy.

A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 10.5 mm also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 2.95 atmatm. W
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

The water is flowing at the rate of 28.04 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

Height of sea water, z₁ = 10.5 m

gauge pressure, P_{gauge \ pressure} = 2.95 atm

Atmospheric pressure, P_{atm} = 101325 Pa

To determine the speed of the water, apply Bernoulli's equation;

P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \rho gz_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2

where;

P₁ = P_{gauge \ pressure} + P_{atm \ pressure}

P₂ = P_{atm}

v₁ = 0

z₂ = 0

Substitute in these values and the Bernoulli's equation will reduce to;

P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 =  P_2 + \rho gz_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_1 + \rho gz_1 + \frac{1}{2}\rho (0)^2 =  P_2 + \rho g(0) + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_1 + \rho gz_1 =  P_2 + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_{gauge} + P_{atm} + \rho gz_1 = P_{atm} + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\P_{gauge} +  \rho gz_1 =  \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2(P_{gauge} +  \rho gz_1)}{\rho} \\\\v_2 = \sqrt{ \frac{2(P_{gauge} +  \rho gz_1)}{\rho} }

where;

\rho is the density of seawater = 1030 kg/m³

v_2 = \sqrt{ \frac{2(2.95*101325 \ + \  1030*9.8*10.5 )}{1030} }\\\\v_2 = 28.04 \ m/s

Therefore, the water is flowing at the rate of 28.04 m/s.

If the error in the angle is 0.50, the error in sin 90o is​
Sindrei [870]

At the given erro in angle, the error in the measurement of sin 90 degrees would be 0.001.

<h3>Percentage error</h3>

The percentage error of any measurement is obtained from the ratio of the error to the actual measurement.

The error of sin 90 degrees is calculated as follows;

sin 90 = 1

error in measurement = sin(90 - 0.5)

error in measurement = sin(89.5) = 0.999

<h3>Error in sin 90 degrees</h3>

Error in sin 90 degrees = 1 - 0.999

Error in sin 90 degrees = 0.001

Thus, at the given erro in angle, the error in sin 90 degrees would be 0.001.
