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

Why is it a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter?
densk [106]

Explanation:

It is a good idea to start with room temperature water in the calorimeter because the room temperature water helps to determine the heating up/cooling down because of the environment as the experiment takes place. Because the calorimeter heat is the same as the heat of the water.

Which of ONE of the following four elements has the most metallic properties?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

12 (Magnesium- Mg)

Explanation:

Looking at the four numbers, we have:

Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, and Chlorine.

We can eliminate two of the answers immediately just by looking at the periodic table.

Sulfur and Chlorine are on the nonmetal side of the periodic table. So that's <em>definitely</em> not it. That leaves Magnesium and Silicon.

Silicon is a Metalloid. Magnesium is an Alkaline earth Metal.

Metaloids are elements that have a mix of both<em> metal</em> and<em> nonmetal </em>properties (luster, how it feels, etc.). Since it's a MIX and Magnesium is just straight METAL-

We can say Magnesium has the most metallic properties.

hope this helps!!

1st Law: Objects that are in motion tend to stay in motion. This motion can change with external forces. 

<span>If you were to stop pedaling on bike while in motion, you will notice that you will keep moving. This is because a moving body (you) has inertia. If there wasn't any friction between the tires and the ground, between the axles and wheel, any air resistance, or any other force that acts against you, then you could be coasting indefinitely! </span>

<span>2nd Law: Force is equal to the mass times acceleration. </span>

<span>When you pedal, you are applying a force onto the pedal. This force is then translated through tension to apply torque onto the wheel. Turning the wheel will make you accelerate in the lateral direction. </span>

<span>3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. </span>

<span>Without this, you could pedal and pedal, but you will be not go anywhere! It is essentially the friction between the tires and the ground that propels you forward. If the ground did not apply to the tire the same amount of force that the tire was applying to the ground, the tire would not "catch" and no friction would be applied. And if there was no third law, the weight of you and your bike would "sink" into the ground because the ground would not be applying a normal force back onto you.

hope this helps and if you have any questions just hmu and ask :)</span>
