Before railroad were invented, goods often traveled along canals, with mules pulling barges from the bank. If a mule is exerting

a 12,000N force for 10km, and the rope connecting the mule to the barge is at a 20 degree angle from the direction of travel, how much work did the mole do on the barge?
A. 12MJ
B. 11MJ
C. 4.1MJ
D. 6MJ

Answer:

W = 112.76MJ

Explanation:

the work is:

W = F_xD

where F_x is the force executed in the direction of the displacement and the d the displacement.

so:

W = 12000Ncos(20)(10000)

we use the cos of the angule because it give us the proyection in the axis x of the force, that means the force in the direction of the displacement.

W = 112.76MJ

A 100 kilowatt bulb burns for 3 hours how much energy did it use
belka [17]

Answer:

1.08×10⁹ J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Power (P) = 100 kilowatt

Time (t) = 3 hours

Energy (E) =?

Next, we shall convert 100 kilowatt to Watts. This can be obtained as follow:

1 KW = 1000 W

Therefore,

100 KW = 100 KW × 1000 W / 1 KW

100 KW = 100000 W

Thus, 100 KW is equivalent to 100000 W.

Next, we shall convert 3 hrs to second (s). This can be obtained as follow:

1 h = 3600 s

Therefore,

3 h = 3 h × 3600 s / 1 h

3 h = 10800 s

Thus, 3 h is equivalent to 10800 s.

Finally, we shall determine the amount of energy consumed as follow:

Power (P) = 100000 W

Time (t) = 10800 s

Energy (E) =?

P = E/t

100000 = E / 10800

Cross multiply

E = 100000 × 10800

E = 1.08×10⁹ J

Therefore, 1.08×10⁹ J of energy was consumed.

A rock is dropped at the same instant that a ball at the same height is thrown horizontally. which will will have the greater sp
Svetach [21]
They will both hit the ground at the same time due to gravity.
that means they took the same time to travel the distance to the ground

however, the ball traveled farther
speed=distance (or displacement) divided by time
so the greater the distance, the greater the speed

the ball traveled faster in the same time so it traveled faster

answer is ball

A disk with a radius of R is oriented with its normal unit vector at an angle Q with respect to a uniform electric field. Which
beks73 [17]

As we know that electric flux is given by

\phi = E.A

\phi = EAcos\theta

so in order to increase the flux we have two options

1. By increasing the area of the disc

2. by changing the orientation of disc so the area of the disc is parallel to the electric field

so correct answer will be

<em>  A. increasing the area of the disk</em>
