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

Greg throws a 2.8-kg pumpkin horizontally off the top of the school roof in order to hit Mr. H's car. The car has parked a dista
Igoryamba

Answer:

The horizontal velocity is v = 9.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the pumpkin is  m = 2.8 \ kg

      The distance of the the car from the building's base is  d = 13.4 \ m

       The height of the roof is h = 10.4 \ m

       

The height is mathematically represented as

         h = \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Where g is the acceleration due to gravity which has a value of g =9.8 \ m/s^2

substituting values

          10.4= 0.5 * 9.8 * t

making the time taken the subject of the formula

         t = \frac{10.4}{0.5 * 9.8 }

          t = 1.457 \ s

The speed at which the pumpkin move horizontally can be represented mathematically  as

                         v = \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

                     v =\frac{13.4}{1.457}

                     v = 9.2 m/s

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f
olga2289 [7]
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second

Use Eq. cosϕ=R/Z to show that the average power delivered by the source in an L−R−C series circuit is given by Pav = I^2rmsR .
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a L C R circuit, the average power is given by

P_{av}=V_{rms}I_{rms}Cos\phi

As given in the question

CosФ = R / Z

And we know that

V_{rms}=I_{rms}\times Z

So

P_{av}=I_{rms}\times Z\times I_{rms}\times \frac{R}{Z}

P_{av}=I_{rms}^{2}\times R
