Answer:

Work done by a tug boat, W = 1.735 x 10⁸ J

Explanation:

Given,

The of each tugboat, F = 1.5 x 10⁶ N

The angle of each tugboat forms with the resultant force, θ = 19°

The displacement of the supertanker, s = 710 m

The individual tugboat will be responsible for the displacement, d = 710/2

                                                                                                               = 355 m

The displacement component in each tugboat direction = 355 · sin θ meter

Therefore, the work done by each tugboat is

                                           W = F x S    joules

Substituting the values in the above equation

                                            W = 1.5 x 10⁶  x  355 · sin θ

                                                = 1.735 x 10⁸ J

Hence, the work done by each tugboat is, W = 1.735 x 10⁸ J

An observer standing near a window 5 m high observe that an object falling downwards is passing across the window in 0.5 s. Find
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object in free fall, NOT experiencing parabolic motion, has an equation of

h(t)=\frac{1}{2} gt^2+h_0 which says:

The height of an object with respect to time in seconds is equal to the pull of gravity times time-squared plus the height from which it was dropped. Normally we use -9.8 for gravity but you said to use 10, so be it.

For us, h(t) is 5 because we are looking for the height of the window when the object is 5 m off the ground at .5 seconds;

g = 10 m/s/s, and

t = .5sec

5=\frac{1}{2}(-10)(.5)^2+h and

5 = -5(.5)² + h and

5 = -5(.25) + h and

5 = -1.25 + h so

h = 6.25

That's how high the window is above the ground.

2. What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2 m/s?
telo118 [61]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object when that object is moving in space. The higher the mass of an object or higher the speed of an object the higher the kinetic energy will be.

So to calculate the Kinetic Energy we can use the following formula

K.E=(1/2)*m*v^2

Inserting the values in formula gives:

K.E=1/2*7.26*2^2

14.52J

This is the final answer which gives the kinetic energy of the ball.
