A 1250 kg boat is traveling at 90 km/h when its engine is shut off. The magnitude of the frictional force fk between boat and water is proportional to the speed v of the boat. Thus, fk = 80v, where v is in meters per second and fk (the magnitude of the frictional force) is in newtons. Find the time required for the boat to slow down to 45 km/h.
A 20 kg crate travels along a smooth slope of y = (1/8)x^3/2 . If at a point its speed is 25 m/sec where x = 18m, determine the normal force exerted by the slope to the crate. Also, what is its acceleration.
A 1000 kg boat is traveling at 90 km/h when its engine is shut off. The magnitude of the frictional force between boat and water is proportional to the speed v of the boat: fk 70v, where v is in meters per second and fk is in newtons. Find the time required for the boat to slow to 45 km/h.
