Two tugboats are moving a barge. Tugboat A pushes on the barge with a force of 3000n. Tugboat B pulls with a force of 5000 Newto
1 answer:
The net force on the barge is 8000 N
Explanation:
In order to find the net force on the badge, we have to use the rules of vector addition, since force is a vector quantity.
In this problem, we have two forces:
- The force of tugboat A,
, acting in a certain direction
- The force of tugboat B,
, also acting in the same direction
Since the two forces act in the same direction, this means that we can simply add their magnitudes to find the net combined force on the barge. Therefore, we get
and the direction is the same as the direction of the two forces.

Answer:
t = 4 s
Explanation:
As we know that the particle A starts from Rest with constant acceleration
So the distance moved by the particle in given time "t"
Now we know that B moves with constant speed so in the same time B will move to another distance
now we know that B is already 349 cm down the track
so if A and B will meet after time "t"
then in that case
on solving above kinematics equation we have
