Work done against the gravity = Total weight*Vertical distance covered.

Total weight = 170+10 = 180 lb
Vertical distance covered = 40 ft

Therefore,

Work done = 180*40 = 7200 lb-ft

Little Timmy wants to measure how tall his house is. He doesn’t have a tape measure but does have a stopwatch. He recruits Big B
Komok [63]

The distance covered by an object accelerating from rest is

D = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)² .

In this particular case, 'acceleration' is 9.8 m/s² ... due to gravity.

D = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (1.67 s)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) · (2.789 s²)

D =  13.67 meters

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 5.0 km/h
Ratling [72]

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8

U = 3, 9 , v = 4, 2 (a) find the projection of u onto v. (b) find the vector component of u orthogonal to v.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

(a) At U = 3, 9 , v = 4, 2, the projection of u onto v is w1=<2,8>

(b)At U = 3, 9 , v = 4, 2,  the vector component of u orthogonal to v is w2 = <4,-1>

Explanation:

A

The projection of u onto v is given by:

w1= projvu = (u⋅v||v||2)v

Given that  u= <6,7> and v=<1,4>, we can find the projection of u onto v as shown below:

w1= projvu = (u⋅v||v||2v=(<6,7>⋅<1,4><1,4>⋅<1,)

=(6⋅1+7⋅41⋅1+4⋅4)<1,4>

=3417<1,4>

=<2,8>

Part B

The vector component of u orthogonal to v is given by:

Using the given vectors and the projection found in part (a), we can find the vector component of u orthogonal to v as shown below:

w2=u−projvu

=<6,7≻<2,8>

=<(6−2),(7−8)>

=<4,−1>
