Operators can avoid damaging SAV's by only operating at high tides, and watch where they are going, because past scientific studies have shown that propellers from machines are known to damage existing SAV's<span />

A speedboat is approaching a dock at 25 m/s (56 mph). When the dock is 150 m away, the driver begins to slow down. a) What accel

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) -2.038 m/s²

b) 40.33 mph

c) 312.5 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-25^2}{2\times 150}\\\Rightarrow a=-2.083\ m/s^2$

Acceleration of the boat is -2.083 m/s² if the boat will stop at 150 m.

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times -1\times 150+25^2}\\\Rightarrow v=18.03\ m/s$

Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 18.03 m/s

Converting to mph

$1\ mile=1609.34\ m$

$1\ h=3600\ seconds$

$18.03\times \frac{3600}{1609.34}=40.33\ mph$

Speed of the boat by when it will hit the dock is 40.33 mph

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-25^2}{2\times -1}\\\Rightarrow s=312.5\ m$

The distance at which the boat will have to start decelerating is 312.5 m

When an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually_____.

saw5 [17]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

A piece of amber is charged by rubbing with a piece of fur. If the net excess charge on the fur is 8.9 nC ( 8.9 10-9 C), how man

Alika [10]

Answer:

Number of electrons, $n=5.56\times 10^{10}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge on the fur, $q=8.9\ nC=8.9\times 10^{-9}\ C$

A piece of amber is charged by rubbing with a piece of fur. We need to find the electrons were added to the amber. It can be calculated using the quantization of charge as

q = n × e

Where

n is the number of electrons

e is the charge on electron

$n=\dfrac{q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{8.9\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

$n=5.56\times 10^{10}\ electrons$

So, $n=5.56\times 10^{10}\ electrons$ number of electrons are added to the amber. Therefore, this is the required solution.
