A loaded barge has a mass of 1 500 000 kg and is traveling at 3 m/s. If a tugboat applies an opposing force of 12 000 N for 10 s

, what is its final velocity? How long will it take to stop the barge? How much force would a tugboat need to apply to stop it in one minute?

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial momentum is 1.5e6(3) = 4.5e6 kg•m/s

An impulse results in a change of momentum

The tug applied impulse is 12000(10) = 120000 N•s or 0.12e6 kg•m/s

The remaining momentum is 4.5e6 - 0.12e6 =  4.38e6 kg•m/s

The barge velocity is now 4.38e6 / 1.5e6 = 2.92 m/s

The tug applies 0.012e6 N•s of impulse each second.

The initial barge momentum will be zero in

t = 4.5e6 / 0.012e6 = 375 s or 6 minutes and 15 seconds

To stop the barge in one minute(60 s), the tug would have to apply

4.5e6 / 60 = 75000 N•s /s or 75 000 N

The escape speed from an object is v2 = 2GM/R, where M is the mass of the object, R is the object's starting radius, and G is th
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s

Explanation:

Escape speed

        v=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Here we have

   Gravitational constant = G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

   R = 1 AU = 1.496 × 10¹¹ m

   M = 2.3 × 10³⁰ kg

Substituting

    v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2.3\times 10^{30}}{1.496\times 10^{11}}}=4.53\times 10^4m/s=45.3km/s

Approximate escape speed = 45.3 km/s

Answer:

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 8 N

Mass = 2 kg

To find the acceleration of the block;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac {8}{2}

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

A pendulum of length L=36.1 cm and mass m=168 g is released from rest when the cord makes an angle of 65.4 degrees with the vert
pychu [463]

(a) -0.211 m

At the beginning the mass is displaced such that the length of the pendulum is L = 36.1 cm and the angle with the vertical is

\theta=65.4^{\circ}

The projection of the length of the pendulum along the vertical direction is

L_y = L cos \theta = (36.1 cm)(cos 65.4^{\circ})=15.0 cm

the full length of the pendulum when the mass is at the lowest position is

L = 36.1 cm

So the y-displacement of the mass is

\Delta y = 15.0 cm - 36.1 cm = -21.1 cm = -0.211 m

(b) 0.347 J

The work done by gravity is equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the mass, which is equal to

\Delta U = mg \Delta y

where we have

m = 168 g = 0.168 kg is the mass of the pendulum

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

\Delta y = 0.211 m is the vertical displacement of the pendulum

So, the work done by gravity is

W=(0.168 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.211 m)=0.347 J

And the sign is positive, since the force of gravity (downward) is in the same direction as the vertical displacement of the mass.

(c) Zero

The work done by a force is:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this situation, the tension in the string always points in a radial direction (towards the pivot of the pendulum), while the displacement of the mass is tangential (it follows a circular trajectory): this means that the tension and the displacement are always perpendicular to each other, so in the formula

\theta=90^{\circ}, cos \theta = 0

and so the work done is zero.
