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

What kind of eruption is likely to occur in a volcano having magma that is low in silica

Masja [62]

A volcano erupts quietly if it's magma is low on silica. Low silica magma will be very thin, runny, and will flow easily, so the gases in the magma will bubble out gently. Hope this helps!:)

The kinetic energy of a moving object is E=12mv2. A 61 kg runner is moving at 10kmh. However, her speedometer is only accurate t

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$e=3367.2J$

% $e=1.43$ %

Explanation:

From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer

$v_{r}=10km/h=2.77m/s$

Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is

$v_{e}=10km/h-0.1km/h=9.9km/h=2.75m/s$

Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed

$E_{r}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.77m/s)^2=234023J$

$E_{e}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.75m/s)^2=230656J$

Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:

$e=E_{r}-E_{e}=(234023-230656)J=3367.2J$

% $e=\frac{E_{r}-E_{e}}{E_{r}}x100=\frac{(234023-230656)J}{234023J}x100=1.43$ %

Would you expect to observe every supernova in our own Galaxy? Why or why not?

Taya2010 [7]

Explanation:

Only few supernova are observed in our galaxy -

Type II supernovae ( i.e. the explosions of the massive stars ) occurred in the Milky Way, and they might be hidden by the intervening dust if they are located in the more distant parts of our Galaxy .

Type Ia supernovae , which need a white dwarf star in the binary star system , are brighter than the type II supernovae , but some of them could also happen in the older parts of Galaxy which are hidden due to the buildup of the dust and gas .

50 grams of ice cubes at -15°C are used to chill a water at 30°C with mass mH20 = 200 g. Assume that the water is kept in a foam

Arada [10]

Answer : The final temperature is, $25.0^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of ice = $2.09J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of ice = 50 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 200 g

$T_f$ = final temperature = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of ice = $-15^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $30^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$50g\times 2.09J/g^oC\times (T_f-(-15))^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-30)^oC$

$T_f=25.0^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature is, $25.0^oC$
