A boat with a horizontal tow rope pulls a waterskier. She skis off to the side, the rope makes an angle of 15° with the forward

direction of motion. If the tension in the rope is 180 N, how much work does the rope two on the scare during the forward displacement of 300 m?

Answer:

<h3>13,976.23Joules</h3>

Explanation:

Workdone by the rope is expressed using the formula;

W = Fd sin(theta)

F is the tension in the rope = 180

d is the displacement = 300m

theta is the angle of inclination = 15°

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

W = 180(300)sin15

W = 54000sin 15

W = 13,976.23

Hence the workdone by the rope is 13,976.23Joules

A mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.

A 9V battery produces a 1.5A current in a piece of wire. What is the resistance of the wire?
MAVERICK [17]

Explanation:

Using Ohm's Law and a bit of substitution, we can use voltage divided by current to solve for resistance. Doing that, we'll get 6 Ohm.
