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.

If you had started with a larger mass, how would the half-life change?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.

Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.

Can someone help me ?

Answer:

1)    Time interval                 Blue Car                      Red Car

          0 - 2 s                Constant Velocity           Increasing Velocity

          2 - 3 s                Constant Velocity           Constant Velocity

          3 - 5 s                Constant Velocity           Increasing Velocity

          5 - 6 s                Constant Velocity           Decreasing Velocity

2) For Red and Blue car y₂  = 120       v = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}} = \frac{120-0}{6-0} = 20 m/s

     We get the same velocity for two cars because it is the average velocity of the car at the given interval of time. It is measured for initial and final position.

3)   At t = 2s, the cars are the same position, and are moving at the same rate

                    Position - same

                    Velocity - same

The position-time graph shares the same spot for two cars.
