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 5.0 km/h

. When a second tugboat applies an additional constant force of magnitude F2 in the same direction, the speed increases by 19 km/h during a 10 s interval. How do the magnitudes of F1 and F2 compare? (Neglect the effects of water resistance and air resistance.)

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2

Since bulb is connected in the closed circuit at the position of D

as well as switch B is also closed in that position so the current will flow through the bulb and bulb will glow in that position

So the most appropriate correct option will be

D. The light bulb will be on
