Question

A yacht sailing to the east at a constant velocity took 0.2hours to sail 8kilometers. What was the yacht's velocity?

Solution

To calculate the velocity, we need to use the formula:

Velocity = Distance / Time

Given in the problem, the distance (d) is 8 kilometers and the time (t) is 0.2 hours.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

Velocity = 8 km / 0.2 hours = 40 km/hour

So, the yacht's velocity was 40 kilometers per hour.

A model sailboat is slowly sailing west across a pond at 0.310 m/s. A gust of wind blowing at 28.3° south of west gives the sailboat a constant acceleration of magnitude 0.314 m/s2 during a time interval of 2.18 s. If the net force on the sailboat during the 2.18-s interval has magnitude 0.318 N, what is the sailboat's mass? What is the new velocity of the boat after the 2.18 s gust of wind?
