A tugboat is pulling a barge into a harbor. The barge is exerting a force of 3000 N against the tugboat.
laiz [17]

Available options are:

A. –4500 N

B. –2500 N

C. 2500 N

D. 4500 N

Answer:

-4500 N

Explanation:

Given that we have F₁ = 3000N? (force of the barge)

the force of the tugboat is F '

To pull the barge, the force of the tugboat must be greater than or equal to the force of the barge.

Hence, according to Newton's third law which states that for every action or force in nature, there is an opposite reaction.

Therefore considering the available option the correct answer is "- 4500N, " this is because it is greater than the force of the barge and it's in opposition to the force exerted.

A pontoon boat travels across a lake in a straight line and increases in speed uniformly from vi = 18.5 m/s to vf = 36.0 m/s in
omeli [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The motion is one dimensional , so motion is along x - axis , starting from origin ( 0 , 0 )

b ) Initial velocity is 18.5 m /s when boat is situated at origin . When he displaces by 250 m along x axis and his position is ( 250 , 0 ) along x axis , his velocity becomes 36 m /s . Both his velocity and acceleration is along x - axis.

c ) Initial velocity vi = 18.5 m /s

final velocity vf = 36 m/s

Displacement x  = 250 m

Acceleration a = ?

Most appropriate formula is given below .

vf² = vi² + 2 a x

2ax = vf² - vi²

x =  ( vf² - vi² ) / 2 a

d )

Putting the given values

36² - 18.5² / 2 x 250

= 1296 - 342.25 / 500

= 1.9 m /s².

f ) Time interval t = ?

Required formula

vf = vi + at

t = (vf - vi ) / a

Putting the values

t = (30 - 18.5) / 1.9

= 6.05 second .
