it can be said that  the speed of the east wind is

v=0.3608m/s

From the question we are told

A small boat sailed <u>straight </u>north out of a harbor in <em>strong </em>east wind (blowing from west to east).

After sailing for 120 minutes, it ended up hitting a buoy 60^\circ60 ∘ to the north-east of the harbor. If the straight-line distance between the buoy and the harbor is 3 km,

  • what is the speed of the east wind?.

<h3> the speed of the east wind</h3>

Generally the equation for the distance  is mathematically given as

BA=3000sin60

BA=2598.07m

Therefore

the speed of the east wind

V_w=\frac{BA}{120*60}\\\\V_w=\frac{2598.07}{120*60}

v=0.3608

babunello [35]

Answer:

The forms of energy involved are

1. Kinetic energy

2. Potential energy

Explanation:

The system consists of a ball initially at rest. The ball is pulled down from its equilibrium position (this builds up its potential energy) and then released. The released ball oscillates due to a continuous transition between kinetic and potential energy.

A 12000 kg train engine moving at 2.2 m/s hits and locks into 3 boxcars with a total mass of 25000 kg sitting still. If the coll
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

V = 0.714m/s

Explanation:

Full solution calculation can be found in the attachment below.

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before collision equals the sum of momentum after collision.

Before collision only the train had momentum. After the collision the train and the boxcars stick together and move as one body. The initial momentum of the train is now shared with the boxcars as they move together as one body. The both move with a common velocity v.

See the attachment below for the solution calculation.

What is the acceleration of a car that moves at a steady velocity of 100km/h for 100s?
vivado [14]

Answer:

the answer is 0

Explanation:

The acceleration of a car that maintains a constant velocity of 100 km/h for 100s is zero. Acceleration is a change in velocity. Thus, if velocity is constant, that means there is no change and velocity stays the same.
