Concept Simulation 4.1 reviews the central idea in this problem. A boat has a mass of 4490 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4520 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 890 N due east and the water exerts a resistive force of 1210 N due east. Take west to be the positive direction. What is the boat's acceleration, with correct sign

-0.54m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion

F = ma

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass m = 4490kg

Take the sum of forces

Sum of force along the east = 890+1210 = 2100N

Sum of forces along the west = -4520N

Net force = -4520+2100

Net force = -2420N

Acceleration = Net force/Mass

Acceleration = -2420/4490

Acceleration = -0.54m/s²

Hence the boat acceleration is -0.54m/s²

cell differentiation  is how generic embryonic  cells  become specialized  cells. this occurs  through a process called gene expression. gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a  cell  functions.

explanation:

force required to detach it is given by

charges are taken to be fundamental charge

now we have

so above is the minimum distance at which it will detach
