Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

The collision of the car and truck will give a single resultant velocity due to equal masses.

We'll treat this question as a vector question.

The velocity profile will form a right angle triangle.

To calculate the velocity of the car

Let the velocity be x

Sina = x/28

Sin46= x/28

0.7193*28 = x

20 = x

X = 20 m/s

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an
sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The <em><u>work </u></em>is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the <em>two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north"</em>, that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. <u>Tugboat #1</u>.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) =  1.8×10⁶N  × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. <u>Tugboat #2</u>:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle:  = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) =  1.8×10⁶N  × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. <u>Total net force, Fn</u>:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. <u>Work, W</u>:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.

A 1.60 m tall person lifts a 2.10-kg book from the ground so it is 2.20 m above the ground. What is the potential energy of the
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of book(m)=2.1 kg

height up to which book is lifted is (h)2.2 m

height of person (h_0)1.6 m

Potential energy of book relative to ground=mgh

PE=2.1\times 9.8\times 2.2=45.276 J

(b)PE w.r.t to person head =mg(h-h0)

=2.1\times 9.8\times (2.2-1.6)=12.348 J

work done by person in lifting box 2.2 m w.r.t floor

Word done =Potential Energy of box relative to floor=45.2 J
