A 1460-kg submarine rises straight up towards the surface. Seawater exerts both an upward buoyant force of 16670 N on the submarine, as well as a downward resistive force of 1150 N. What is the submarine's acceleration?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a = 0.63 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of submarine = 1460-kg

upward buoyant force = 16670 N

downward resistive force = 1150 N

submarine acceleration = ?

assuming g = 10 m/s²

now,

B - (R + mg) = ma

16670 - 1150 - 1460 × 10 = 1460 × a

1460× a = 920

a = 0.63 m/s²

hence, the acceleration of submarine is equal to a = 0.63 m/s²
