Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.20×106 N , one at an angle 15.0 ∘ west of north,

and the other at an angle 15.0 ∘ east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.810 km toward the north.
What is the total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker?

Answer:

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

Explanation:

The force by the tugboats acting on the supertanker is constant and the displacement of the supertanker is along a straight line.

The angle between the 2 forces and displacement is ∅ = 15°.

First we have to calculate the work done by the individual force and then we can calculate the total work.

The work done on a particle by a constant force F during a straight line displacement s is given by following formula:

W = F*s

W = F*s*cos∅

With ∅ = the angles between F and s

The magnitude of the force acting on the supertanker is F of tugboat1 = F of tugboat 2 = F = 2.2 * 10^6 N

The total work done can be calculated as followed:

Wtotal = Ftugboat1 s * cos ∅1 + Ftugboat2 s* cos ∅2

Wtotal = 2Fs*cos∅

Wtotal = 2*2.2*10^6 N * 0.81 *10³ m s *cos15°

Wtotal = 3.44*10^9 Nm = <u>3.44 *10^9 J</u>

<u />

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

Two bicyclist, originally separated by a distance of 20 miles, are each traveling at a uniform speed of 10 miles per hour toward
Radda [10]

Answer:

D = 25 miles

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we just need to know how much time it took both bicyclists to collide and that will be the same amount of time that the bee flew at 25miles per hour. With those values we could calculate the distance it traveled.

Since both bicyclists collide, we know that Xa=Xb, so:

Xa = V*t = 10*t     and    Xb = 20 - V*t = 20 - 10*t

10*t = 20 - 10*t      Solving for t:

t = 1 hour  Now we can calculate the distance for the bee:

D = Vbee * t = 25 * 1 = 25 miles

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

A strip of copper 190 µm thick and 4.20 mm wide is placed in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B = 0.78 T, that is perpendic
Veronika [31]

Answer:

V = 9.682 × 10^(-6) V

Explanation:

Given data

thick = 190 µm

wide = 4.20 mm

magnitude B = 0.78 T

current  i = 32 A

to find out

Calculate V

solution

we know v formula that is

V = magnitude× current / (no of charge carriers ×thickness × e

here we know that number of charge carriers/unit volume for copper = 8.47 x 10^28 electrons/m³

so put all value we get

V = magnitude× current / (no of charge carriers ×thickness × e

V = 0.78 × 32 / (8.47 x 10^28  × 190 × 1.602 x 10^(-19)

V = 9.682 × 10^(-6) V
