Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.60×106 N, one at an angle 13.0 west of north, an

d the other at an angle 13.0 east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.700 km toward the north.
What is the total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker?

Answer:W=1.93\times 10^9 J      

Explanation:

Given

Force F=1.6\times 10^{6} N

one at an angle of 13^{\circ} East of North and another at 13^{\circ} West of North

Net Force is in North Direction

F_{net}=2F\cos 13

Forces in horizontal direction will cancel out each other

thus Work done will be by north direction forces  

W=2F\cdot \cos 30\cdot s

here s=0.7 km

W=2\times 1.6\times 10^{6}\cdot \cos 30\cdot 700

W=1.93\times 10^9 J

In what order does light pass through structures of the eye? lens, cornea, retina cornea, pupil, lens pupil, iris, lens pupil, c
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Light passes through the front of the eye (cornea) to the lens. The cornea and the lens help to focus the light rays onto the back of the eye (retina). The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve and then to the brain.

Explanation:

When light rays reflect off an object and enter the eyes through the cornea (the transparent outer covering of the eye), you can then see that object. The cornea bends, or refracts, the rays that pass through the round hole of the pupil.

In your own words, explain the effects of time dilation.
Natalka [10]
So we want to explain the effects of time dilation. In theory of relativity time dilation is the difference of elapsed time between two events when measured by two observers who are moving relatively to each other. A clock of an observer that is standing still in an inertial frame of reference is going to measure a different time of an event than the clock of an observer that is moving with some velocity with respect to the inertial reference frame that is not moving. In a nutshell, the moving clock is ticking slower than the clock that is standing still.

Please help me<br> the formula is E = P x t
Rainbow [258]

The battery doesn't 'use' power.  The battery <em>produces</em> the power that all the other electrical devices use.

If the starter motor is using 2,520 watts, then the battery is producing energy at the rate of 2,520 watts.  That means <em>2,520 Joules</em> of energy every second.

Thanks for giving us the formula.

E = P x t

Energy = Power x Time

Energy = (2,520 watts) x (1 second)

Energy = 2,520 Joules
