    Speed boat question: calculating centripetal acceleration

    hmm I've tried using different equations and not seeming to get them to work either, could it just be a problem with the computer system taking my answers?

    What is the Normal Force on a 16.2 kg Object Being Pulled with 10.2N Force?

    Sorry I'm not a physics major rather a struggling student myself, but this was last section for me, so I can try to help perhaps.. I think if you can say that Voy = 0 and Vfy=0 since there is no vertical displacement the normal force must be equal to the weight of the object, therefor: MG = Fn...

    Speed boat question: calculating centripetal acceleration

    1.Speedboat A speedboat with a length of 10.2m and a mass of 247 kg is negotiaging a circular turn (radius = 33 m) around a buoy. During the turn, the engine causes a net tangential force of magnitude 521 N to be applied to the boat. The intial speed of the boat going into the turn is 4 m/sec...
