A boat moves through the water with two forces acting on it parallel to the water’s surface. One is a 2,000 N forward force due to the motor/propeller, and the other is an 1,800 N resistive force due to the water around the bow (front of the boat).
What is the acceleration of the 1,000 kg boat?
If the boat started from rest, how far will it move in 10s?
What will the boat’s velocity be at the end of this time interval?
A 0.300-kg mass hangs at the end of a rope. A second rope hangs from the bottom of that mass and supports a 0.900-kg mass.
Questions:
a. Find the tension in each rope when the masses are accelerating upward at 0.7 m/s². Take note of gravity also.
b. Find the tension in each string when the acceleration is 0.700 m/s² going down.
