Predict/Calculate Beating to Windward A sailboat can be propelled into the wind by a maneuver called beating to windward. Beating requires the sailboat to travel in a zigzag pattern at an angle to the wind that is greater than the no-go zone, which is shaded red in Figure 7-23. When a sailboat is just outside the no-go zone (boats B in the figure) the wind exerts a force
F = 870 N
and
v = 11 m/s,
what propulsion power is delivered to sailboats B, for which
θ = 79°
? (c) What propulsion power is delivered to sailboats C for which
θ = 56°
?

- A cart is set rolling across a level table, at the same speed on every trial. If it runs into a patch of sand, the cart exerts on the sand an average horizontal force of 6 N and travels a distance of 6 cm through the sand as it comes to a stop. It instead the cart runs into a patch of gravel on which the can exerts an average horizontal force of 9 N, how far into the gravel will the cart roll before stopping?

(a) Neglecting air resistance, calculate the potato’s velocity when it leaves the gun. (b) The gun itself is a tube 0.430 m long. Calculate the average acceleration of the potato in the tube as it goes from zero to the velocity found in (a). (c) What is the average force on the potato in the gun? Express your answer in newtons and as a ratio to the weight of the potato.arrow_forwardA 44.0-kg child finds himself trapped on the surface of a frozen lake, 10.0 m from the shore. The child slips with each step on the frictionless ice and remains the same distance from the shoreline. Egged on by his parents, he throws a 0.750-kg ball he is carrying toward the center of the lake with a horizontal speed of 1.50 m/s, in the direction opposite that of the shoreline. a. Does the act of throwing the ball cause the child to move? If so, what are the speed and the direction of his motion with respect to the Earth? b. What are the forces acting on the child when he throws the ball?arrow_forward
- The masses of the javelin, discus, and shot are 0.80 kg, 2.0 kg, and 7.2 kg, respectively, and record throws in the corresponding track events are about 98 m, 74 m, and 23 m, respectively. Neglecting air resistance, (a) calculate the minimum initial kinetic energies that would produce these throws, and (b) estimate the average force exerted on each object during the throw, assuming the force acts over a distance of 2.0 m. (c) Do your results suggest that air resistance is an important factor?arrow_forwardf Daniella messaged X 8 Timer for Google F X + form-timer.com/app Apps M Gmail YouTube Maps 2 h 20 min Find the magnitude of the resultant of the concurrent force system below y B (15.0 m) D (10.0 m) 25.0° M Sent Mail - loraine X ← → C 53.00 30.0° X A (8.00 m) C (12.0 m) 90.2 N (755 dea from y in the 3rd quadrant) ☐ zFVLOdcF Carrow_forwardA 2 kg block is initially at rest on top of a frictionless at an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the horizontal and is sitting on top of a table.
