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
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
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 =
ratio = 2.8
To explain, I will use the equations for kinetic and potential energy:
Potential energy is the potential an object has to move due to gravity. An object can only have potential energy if 1) <u>gravity is present</u> and 2) <u>it is above the ground at height h</u>. If gravity = 0 or height = 0, there is no potential energy. Example:
An object of 5 kg is sitting on a table 5 meters above the ground on earth (g = 9.8 m/s^2). What is the object's gravitational potential energy? <u>(answer: 5*5*9.8 = 245 J</u>)
(gravitational potential energy is potential energy)
<h3>Kinetic energy</h3>Kinetic energy is the energy of an object has while in motion. An object can only have kinetic energy if the object has a non-zero velocity (it is moving and not stationary). An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving at 5 m/s. What is the object's kinetic energy? (<u>answer: 5*5 = 25 J</u>)
<h3>Kinetic and Potential Energy</h3>Sometimes, an object can have both kinetic and potential energy. If an object is moving (kinetic energy) and is above the ground (potential), it will have both. To find the total (mechanical) energy, you can add the kinetic and potential energies together. An example:
An object of 5 kg is moving on a 5 meter table at 10 m/s. What is the objects mechanical (total) energy? (<u>answer: KE = .5(5)(10^2) = 250 J; PE = (5)(9.8)(5) = 245 J; total: 245 + 250 = 495 J</u>)
Answer:
Fr = 26.83 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the Pythagorean theorem, since the forces are vector quantities, that is, they have magnitude and density. Therefore the Pythagorean theorem is suitable for the solution of this problem.
