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

Physics

pogonyaev3 years ago
5 0

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.

What is the relationship between electric field lines and equipotential surfaces?
Tems11 [23]
An equipotential surface is a three-dimensional version of equipotential lines. * *Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to electric field lines* . The process by which a conductor can be fixed at zero volts by connecting it to the earth with a good conductor is called grounding.

In a circuit of two lamps in parallel there is 5 v across one lamp. what is the voltage across the other lamp? answer in units o
natima [27]
The voltage across the other lamp is also 5 V.
In fact, when two resistances are connected in parallel, they are connected to the same points of the circuit. This also means that the potential difference across the two sides of the resistors is the same, therefore the voltage across the two lamps connected in parallel is 5 V for both.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer and Explanation:

The hydrogen atom is an atom of hydrogen element.Hydrogen atoms contain one proton which has positive charge and one electron which has negative charge , so due to positive and negative charge present in the hydrogen atom its becomes neutral atom.In whole universe the hydrogen atom is found in most abundant. Electron and nucleus of the hydrogen atom is bound together with the help of coulomb force.

Starting from the orgin, a person walks 4 km East during the first day and 7 km west the next day. What is the net displacement
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

3km due West

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. From this definition, we can see that displacement is a vector quantity that has magnitude and direction.

So;

 For the first day, the person walks 4km East:

                                                           4km

                                     Start ----------------------------→ first day

                                                            7km

              ← ------------------------------------------------------  Second day

                                           

The displacement of the boy  = 7km  - 4km  = 3km due West
