A boat is traveling at an initial velocity of 2.7 meters per second in the positive direction. It accelerates at a rate of 0.15

meters per second squared for 12 seconds. What is the final velocity of the boat?

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.5 \ m/s \ in \ the \ positive \ direction}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the final velocity of the boat.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

$v_f= v_i + at$

The initial velocity is 2.7 meters per second. The acceleration is 0.15 meters per second squared. The time is 12 seconds.

$v_i$ = 2.7 m/s
a= 0.15 m/s²
t= 12 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s)$

Multiply the numbers in parentheses.

$v_f= 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s/s * 12 \ s)$

$v_f = 2.7 \ m/s + (0.15 \ m/s *12)$

$\v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)$ $v_f=2.7 \ m/s + (1.8 \ m/s)$

Add.

$v_f=4.5 \ m/s$

The final velocity of the boat is <u>4.5 meters per second in the positive direction.</u>

Answer:

The value of n is $n =7$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The value of m = 2

For every value of $m, n = m+ 1, m+2,m+3,....$

The modified version of Balmer's formula is $\frac{1}{\lambda} = R [\frac{1}{m^2} - \frac{1}{n^2} ]$

The Rydberg constant has a value of $R = 1.097 *10^{7} m^{-1}$

The objective of this solution is to obtain the value of n for which the wavelength of the Balmer series line is smaller than 400nm

For m = 2 and n =3

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{1523611.1112}$

$\lambda = 656nm$

For m = 2 and n = 4

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{4^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{2056875}$

$\lambda = 486nm$

For m = 2 and n = 5

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{5^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{2303700}$

$\lambda = 434nm$

For m = 2 and n = 6

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{6^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{2422222}$

$\lambda = 410nm$

For m = 2 and n = 7

The wavelength is

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = (1.097 * 10^7)[\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{7^2} ]$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{2518622}$

$\lambda = 397nm$

So the value of n is 7

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge on bead A be q nC and the charge on bead B be 28nC - qnC

Force F between them

4.8\times10^{-4} = $\frac{9\times10^9\times q\times(28-q)\times10^{-18}}{(5\times10^{-2})^2}$

=120 x 10⁻⁸ = 9 x q(28 - q ) x 10⁻⁹

133.33 = 28q - q²

q²- 28q +133.33 = 0

It is a quadratic equation , which has two solution

q_A = 21.91 x 10⁻⁹C or q_B = 6.09 x 10⁻⁹ C
