What is the sailboats acceleration if a sailboat and its crew have a combined mass of 655 kg If a net force of 895 N is pushing the sailboat forward?

newtons is a measurement of force
just substitute that for the sign "N"
so you say that there is 895N per 655kg, so 895kg*m/s*s/655kg
then you cross out the "kg" and do the math, not too bad

What is the purpose of a keel in a sailboat?
The purpose of a keel in a sailboat are to generate lift to counteract the force of the wind. The keel converts the motion of the wind into a forward motion for the sailboat.
What are exmaples of acceleration?
When you are stopped at a light, and it turns green, you start to drive forward. That is acceleration.
If a sailboat has lee helm should the mast be moved forward or aft?
the mast should not be moved
How does air help a sailboat work?
the wind blows against the sail's and pushes the boat forward
True or false Negative acceleration always means that a system is slowing down?
false A car can have a negative acceleration and be speeding up. A negative acceleration determines the direction of the acceleration A car with forward acceleration will speed up in the forward direction A car moving forward with a negative acceleration will slow down A car not moving with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction A car moving backward with a negative acceleration will speed up in the backward direction
How is a negative acceleration different from a positive acceleration?
Actually, it depends on how you define the coordinate axes, but usually when moving forward, negative acceleration decreasesspeed, positive acceleration increasesit.
Why do the sterns of some sailboats angle forward and others backward?
There seems to be a rather wide difference of opinion regarding these aerodynamic/hydrodynamic effects.
What is an example of acceleration in direction of motion?
moving forward continuesly
When a car is moving in reverse backing from a driveway the driver applies the brake in what direction is the car's acceleration?
The car's acceleration is in forward direction.
Why is Acceleration vector quantity?
That simply means that the direction of the acceleration is relevant. For example, if something is moving in the "forward" direction, it isn't the same if we accelerate it forward, backward, or sideways. The results are different.Also, acceleration is calculated as dv/dt, meaning you divide a velocity difference by a time. Since velocity is itself a vector, acceleration is also a vector.
Can a moving body have velocity and acceleration in opposite directions explain with in example?
Of course. A car with brakes applied and slowing down has forward velocity and rearward acceleration.
What prefix combined with flexion means forward curvature of a part or organ?
Anteflexion
