Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.20×106 N , one at an angle 19.0 ∘ west of north,

and the other at an angle 19.0 ∘ east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.720 km toward the north.What is the total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker?Express your answer in joules, to three significant figures.

Answer:

=2.99\times10^9J

Explanation:

According to the question

net force F = 2.20×10^6 N

displacement S = 0.72\times10^3m

from figure , the horizontal forces are same in magnitude and opposite direction.

so , neglect these two forces.

we can take only vertical components of the force.

total force F' = F cos 19° + F cos 19°

= 2×F×cos 19°   ................. (1

therefore , total work is

W = F'S

= (2F cos19)×S

= (2)(2.20\times10^6 N)cos19° (0.720\times10^3 m)

=2.99\times10^9J

plz help me with hw A bus of mass 1000 kg moving with a speed of 90km/hr stops after 6 sec by applying brakes then calculate the
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Mass, M = 1000 kg

Speed, v = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

time, t = 6 sec.

Distance:

{ \tt{distance =  speed \times time }} \\ { \tt{distance = 25 \times 6}} \\ { \tt{distance = 150 \: m}}

Force:

{ \tt{force = mass \times acceleration}} \\ { \bf{but \: for \: acceleration : }} \\ from \: second \: equation \: of \: motion :  \\ { \bf{s = ut +  \frac{1}{2}  {at}^{2} }} \\  \\ { \tt{150 = (0 \times 6) + ( \frac{1}{2} \times a \times  {6}^{2} ) }} \\  \\ { \tt{acceleration = 8.33 \:  {ms}^{ - 2} }} \\  \\ { \tt{force = 1000 \times 8.33}} \\ { \tt{force = 8333.3 \: newtons}}

A ball is released from a hot air balloon moving downward with a velocity of -10.0 meters/second and a height of 1,000 meters. H
Nikolay [14]
Here, ball is released... and it is in free fall means with zero initial velocity.

We know, s = ut + 1/2 at²
Here, s = 1000 m
u = 0
a = 10 m/s2

Substitute their values, 
1000 = 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t²
2000 = 10 * t²
t² = 2000 /10
t = √200
t = 14.14 s

In short, Your Answer would be 14.14 seconds

Hope this helps!
