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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

A long distance runner sees the finish line and accelerates at a rate in 1.2 m/s2 for
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: he did travel 15 meters.

Explanation:

We have the data:

Acceleration = a = 1.2 m/s^2

Time lapes = 3 seconds

Initial speed = 3.2 m/s.

Then we start writing the acceleration:

a(t) = 1.2 m/s^2

now for the velocity, we integrate over time:

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + v0

with v0 = 3.2 m/s

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + 3.2 m/s

For the position, we integrate again.

p(t) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*t^2 + 3.2m/s*t + p0

Because we want to know the displacementin those 3 seconds ( p(3s) - p(0s)) we can use p0 = 0m

Then the displacement at t = 3s will be equal to p(3s).

p(3s) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*(3s)^2 + 3.2m/s*3s = 15m

Calculate the wavelengths of the first five members of the Lyman series of spectral lines, providing the result in units Angstro
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for hydrogen atomic  spectrum is as follows

energy of photon due to transition from higher orbit n₂ to n₁

E=13.6 (\frac{1}{n_1^2 } - \frac{1}{n_2^2})eV

For layman series n₁ = 1 and n₂ = 2 , 3 , 4 ,   ...   etc

energy of first line

E_1=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{2 ^2})

10.2 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 10.2 = 1213.2 A

energy of 2 nd line

E_2=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{3 ^2})

= 12.08 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.08 = 1024.4 A

energy of third line

E_3=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{4 ^2})

12.75 e V

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.75 = 970.6 A

energy of fourth line

E_4=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{5 ^2})

= 13.056 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.05 = 948.3 A

energy of fifth line

E_5=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{6 ^2})

13.22 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.22 = 936.1 A
