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

Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Dovator [93]
It's a bit of a trick question, had the same one on my homework. You're given an electric field strength (1*10^5 N/C for mine), a drag force (7.25*10^-11 N) and the critical info is that it's moving with constant velocity(the particle is in equilibrium/not accelerating). 
<span>All you need is F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>Just set F=the drag force and the electric field strength is (K*Q2)/r^2, plugging those values in gives you </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>
