One boat tows another boat by means of a tow line, which is under a constant tension of 465 N. The boats move at a constant spee

d of 4.60 m/s. How much work is done by the tension in 1.10 min?

6 0

Answer:

Work done, W = 141174 Joules

Explanation:

It is given that,

Constant tension acting on the boat, T = F = 465 N

Speed of the boat, v = 4.6 m/s

Time, t = 1.1 min = 66 seconds

Let W is the work done by the tension. It is equal to the product of force and displacement. It is given by :

W=F\times d

Since, d=vt

W=F\times v\times t

W=465\ N\times 4.6\ m/s\times 66\ s

W = 141174 Joules

So, the work is done by the tension is 141174 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?
Damm [24]
You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps

A set of charged plates 0.00262 m apart has an electric field of 155 N/C between them. What is the potential difference between
mylen [45]

Answer: The potential difference between the plates = 0.4061V

Explanation:

Given that the

Electric field strength E = 155 N/C

Distance d = 0.00262 m

From the definition of electric field strength, is the ratio of potential difference V to the distance between the plates. That is

E = V/d

Substitute E and d into the above formula

155 = V/0.00262

Cross multiply

V = 155 × 0.00262

V = 0.4061 V

The potential difference between the plates is 0.4061 V

One important relationship between chemical and mechanical weathering is ________. 1. mechanical weathering forms more brittle m
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

2. mechanical weathering can produce smaller pieces of rock that have more surface area for chemical weathering to work Explanation:

Mechanical weathering involves activities of living organisms or some geological processes. The bigger rocks are usually reduced to smaller rocks and further reduction might be limited or not posibble mechanically. This reduced rocks now increases the surface area available for chemical weathering; which further reduces the sizes of the rocks below the size range of mechanical weathering. one will recall that the rate of chemical reaction increases with exposed surface area.
