Answer:
a. Acceleration, a = 1.88 m/s²
b. Time, t = 7.87 seconds.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Initial velocity, U = 14.5m/s
Final velocity, V = 29.3m/s
Distance, S = 172m
a. To find the acceleration of the speedboat;
We would use the third equation of motion;
V² = U² + 2aS
Substituting into the formula
29.3² = 14.5² + 2a*172
858.49 = 210.25 + 344a
344a = 858.49 - 210.25
344a = 648.24
a = 648.24/344
Acceleration, a = 1.88 m/s²
b. To find the time;
We would use the first equation of motion;
V = U + at
29.3 = 14.5 + 1.88t
1.88t = 29.3 - 14.5
1.88t = 14.8
Time, t = 14.8/1.88
Time, t = 7.87 seconds.
It would be A:facing disagreement forces scientist to prove their theories more consistently :)
Answer: 11 km/h at 339° compass
Explanation:
A sees B moving south at 0 km/h
A is moving north at 12cos30 = 10.392 km/h
Therefore B must be moving north at 10.392 k/h
A is moving east at 12sin30 = 6 km/h
B appears to be moving west at 10 km/h
Therefore B must be moving west at 10 - 6 = 4 km/h
B is moving v = √(4² + 10.392²) = 11.135... 11 km/h
θ = arctan( -4 / 10.392) = -21.05 = 339°
