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

Physics

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.

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a
Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = 3.1 m

Width of the window = 2.1 m

Area of the window = (3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

                                           = (1.0-0.954) atm = 0.046 atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒  1 atm = 101325 Pa

⇒ 0.046 atm = 0.046\times 101325 =4660.95 Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}

⇒ Force =Pressure\times Area

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ Force =4660.95\times 6.51

⇒ Force=30342.78 Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Look at the circuit below. What is the voltage between points C and D?
stepan [7]

Option c) 1.5 V

Explanation:

<em>As the circuit is build in series first we will find the current passing through the complete circuit. Current stays the same in each element is the series cirucuit, however, the voltage is different.</em>

Voltage is given by the following formula:

V = IR

<em>Because we have to find current through whole circuit, we will first find resistance of the whole circuit.</em>

Equivalent Resistance R(eq): R1 + R2 = 60 + 60 = 120 ohm

Current passing through whole circuit be:

I = \frac{V}{R(eq)}\\I = \frac{3}{120} = 0.025


Now we will find out the voltage between C and D:

Current stays the same in series circuit: I = 0.025 c

Resistance between C and D is, R = 60 ohm

Voltage becomes, V = IR = 0.025 * 60 = 1.5 V

Which change of state is shown in the model?
leva [86]

Answer: deposition

Explanation:

Try process of elimination. We know it's not boiling because that is basically water turning into gas. It's not condensation because it's not water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.
