Vaselesa [24]

Technician A is correct about the water pump being a centripetal pump and the definition of the centripetal force given by technician B is wrong. The force that happens on a body moving in a circular path and move towards the centre to which the body is moving is called as centripetal force. So itâ€™s not an outward force.

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 3 km/h.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

$F_{1}=\frac{1}{5}F_{2}$ or $F_{2}=5F_{1}$

In other words, $F_{1}$ is one fifth of $F_{2}$ or $F_{2}$ is five times as big as $F_{1}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by sketching the situation (refer to the attached picture).

When the ship is pulled only by force 1, it will change its speed by 3km/hr in 10 seconds. So in order to use these values we need to either turn the km/hr in km/s or turn the seconds to hours. Let's turn the seconds to hours:

$10s*\frac{1hr}{3600s}=\frac{1}{360} hr$

so we can now use the acceleration formula to find the acceleration of the boat so we get:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

which will give us an accceleration of:

$a=\frac{3km/hr}{\frac{1}{360}hr}=1080km/hr^{2}$

once we got the acceleration we can for sure say taht:

$F_{1}=ma=m*1080\frac{km}{hr^{2}}$

Now, if we take a look at the second drawing we can see that the resultant force applied to the boat is found by adding the two forces, force one and force two, so we get:

$F_{1}+F_{2}=ma$
