The force exerted by the wind on a sailboat is approximately perpendicular to the sail and proportional to the component of the wind velocity perpendicular to the sail. For the 700-kg sailboat shown in the figure below, the proportionality constant is Fsail = (550 N m/s l'wind Water exerts a force along the keel (bottom) of the boat that prevents it from moving sideways, as shown in the figure. Once the boat starts moving forward, water also exerts a drag force backwards on the boat, opposing the forward motion. If a 17-knot wind (1 knot - 0.514 m/s) is blowing to the east, what is the initial acceleration of the sailboat? m/s2 Fet 300

An airplane of mass 1.50 x 104 kg is in level flight, initially moving at 60.0 m/s. The resistive force exerted by air on the airplane has a magnitude of 4.0 x 104 N. By Newton’s third law, if the engines exert a force on the exhaust gases to expel them out of the back of the engine, the exhaust gases exert a force on the engines in the direction of the airplane’s travel. This force is called thrust, and the value of the thrust in this situation is 7.50 x 104 N. (a) Is the work done by the exhaust gases on the airplane during some time interval equal to the change in the airplane’s kinetic energy? Explain. (b) Find the speed of the airplane after it has traveled 5.0 x 102 m.

Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 9,000 kg load sits on the flat bed of a 25,000 kg truck moving at 11.0 m/s. Assume that the load is not tied down to the truck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.550 with the flat bed of the truck. a) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for the truck for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.
