Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.80×106 N , one at an angle 14.0 ∘ west of north,

and the other at an angle 14.0 ∘ east of north, as they pull the tanker a distance 0.800 km toward the north. Part A What is the total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker?

Answer:

W = 1,049 10⁹ J

Explanation:

Work is defined by the relation

         W = F. d = F d cos θ

where tea is the angle between the forces and the displacement.

The total work is the sum of the work of each tug.

Tug 1

       W₁ = F d cos θ₁

 

the angle measured from the positive side of the x-axis is

       θ₁ = 14 + 90 = 104º

           

tugboat 2

             W₂ = F d cos θ₂

             θ₂ = 14

we substitute

             W = F d cos θ₁ + F d cos θ₂

             W = F d (cos θ₁ + cos θ₂)

               

let's calculate

             W = 1.80 10⁶  800 (cos 104 + cos 14)

             W = 1,049 10⁹ J

Is a baseball and cannon are dropped from the same height at the same time, which ball will hit the ground first?
lara31 [8.8K]
If you include the effects of falling through air, then you have to know the
shape, size, weight, and surface texture of the objects.  You also have to
know the height from which they're dropped, and the temperature, pressure,
and humidity of the air.  All these things make a difference in how they fall.

If you ignore the effects of falling through air, like build a giant metal tank
and pump all the air out of it, and ONLY talk about the effects of gravity, then
ALL OBJECTS accelerate at the same rate.  If you drop two things from the
same height at the same time, then they both hit the ground at the same time,
traveling at the same speed, no matter what they are.  They could be a piece of
tissue and a car ! 

There are several museums where they have a big glass pipe that you can
see through, and they pump the air out of the pipe and drop a feather and a
bowling ball from the top inside at the same time, and they both reach the
bottom together.   

If gravity is the only force on an object, then all objects fall at the same rate.
