Question

A tugboat pulls a ship with a constant nethorizontal force of 3.01×103N and causesthe ship to move through a harbor.How much work does the tugboat do on theship if each moves a distance of 3.93 km ?Answer in units of J.

Answer 1

Answer:

11,829.3 × 10³ J

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Net horizontal force applied = 3.01 × 10³ N

Distance moved = 3.93 Km = 3930 m    [1 km = 1000 m]

Now,

Work done tugboat do on the ship = Force × Displacement

or

Work done tugboat do on the ship = ( 3.01 × 10³ ) × 3,930

or

Work done tugboat do on the ship = 11,829.3 × 10³ J
