Available options are:

A. –4500 N

B. –2500 N

C. 2500 N

D. 4500 N

Answer:

-4500 N

Explanation:

Given that we have F₁ = 3000N? (force of the barge)

the force of the tugboat is F '

To pull the barge, the force of the tugboat must be greater than or equal to the force of the barge.

Hence, according to Newton's third law which states that for every action or force in nature, there is an opposite reaction.

Therefore considering the available option the correct answer is "- 4500N, " this is because it is greater than the force of the barge and it's in opposition to the force exerted.

How are balanced and unbalanced forces related to motion?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Balanced forces do not result in any change in motion. forces: forces applied to an object in opposite directions that are not equal in size. Unbalanced forces result in a change in motion.

If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 128 ft/second, then its height after t seconds is given by the follow

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity u= 128 ft/sec

Equation of height

$h = 128t-32t^2$ ....(I)

(a). We need to calculate the maximum height

Firstly we need to calculate the time

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0$

From equation (I)

$\dfrac{dh}{dt}=128-64t$

$128-64t=0$

$t=\dfrac{128}{64}$

$t=2\ sec$

Now, for maximum height

Put the value of t in equation (I)

$h =128\times2-32\times4$

$h=128\ ft$

(b). The number of seconds it takes the object to hit the ground.

We know that, when the object reaches ground the height becomes zero

$128t-32t^2=0$

$t(128-32t)=0$

$128=32t$

$t=4\ sec$

Hence, The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

The kinetic energy of an object depends on what?

liraira [26]

It depends on "Potential Energy", the amount energy it could have, the amount depending on certain circumstances, like height or force. This was how traditional and some modern rollercoasters work. As the "conveyer belt" pulls you up, the higher you go, the more potential energy you have. Once you are falling down the hill, you are experiencing "Kinetic Energy". Hope it makes sence.
