Two workhorses tow a barge along a straight canal. Each horse exerts a constant force of magnitude F, and the tow ropes make an

angle θ with the direction of motion of the horses and the barge. Each horse is traveling at a constant speed v.
a. How much work W is done by each horse in a time t? Express the work in terms of the quantities given.
b. How much power P does each horse provide? Express your answer in terms of the quantities given.

Answer:

<em>a) Fvt cosθ</em>

<em>b) Fv cosθ</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Each horse exerts a force = F

the rope is inclined at an angle = θ

speed of each horse = v

a) In time t, the distance traveled d = speed x time

i.e d = v x t = vt

also, the resultant force = F cosθ

Work done W = force x distance

W = F cosθ x vt = <em>Fvt cosθ</em>

<em></em>

b) Power provided by the horse P = force x speed

P = F cosθ x v

P = <em>Fv cosθ</em>

Suppose you wanted to hold up an electron against the force of gravity by the attraction of a fixed proton some distance above i
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The value is  r =  5.077 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  Coulomb constant is  k =  9.0 *10^{9} \  N\cdot  m^2  /C^2

   The  charge on the electron/proton  is  e =  1.6*10^{-19} \  C

    The  mass of proton m_{proton} =  1.67*10^{-27} \  kg

    The  mass of  electron is  m_{electron } =  9.11 *10^{-31} \ kg

Generally for the electron to be held up by the force gravity

   Then    

       Electric force on the electron  =  The  gravitational Force

i.e  

            m_{electron} *  g  = \frac{ k *  e^2  }{r^2 }

         \frac{9*10^9 *  (1.60 *10^{-19})^2  }{r^2 }  =     9.11 *10^{-31 }  *  9.81

         r =  \sqrt{25.78}

         r =  5.077  \  m

Which statement about images is correct? a) A virtual image cannot be formed on a screen. b) A virtual image cannot be viewed by
ankoles [38]

Answer:

A). A virtual image cannot be formed on a screen.

Explanation:

A virtual image can not be formed on a screen.

For image:

1.A virtual image can be viewed by the unaided eye.

2. A real image must be erect or maybe inverted.

3.Mirrors can produce virtual as well as real image ,it depends on which type of mirror is.

4.A virtual image can be photographed.

So the option A is correct.

Pamela drove her car 999999 kilometers and used 999 liters of fuel. she wants to know how many kilometers (k)(k)left parenthesis
Vanyuwa [196]
When the relationship between two variables are said to be proportional, it means that one variable is a constant multiple of the other variable. They are related by a constant of proportionality, usually denoted as k. 

In this problem, the dependent variable is the distance in kilometers. Your mileage is limited with the amount of fuel you have. Thus, the independent variable is the liters of fuel. When these two are proportional, it could be expressed as

distance = k * liters of fuel, such that 
distance/liters of fuel = k

By variation,

distance,1/liters of fuel,1 = distance,2/liters of fuel,2, where 1 denotes situation 1 and 2 denotes situation 2. Therefore,

 999999 km /<span>999 liters =  x km /</span><span>121212 liters, where x is the unknown distance. We can now therefore find the value of x.

x = (999999*121212)/999
x = 121333212 kilometers</span>

Which of the following best describes an action-reaction pair? A. The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon. B.
Papessa [141]
An action-reaction pair would be a pair in which one of the elements exerts a force on the other element (action), and then the other element would respond to this force by exerting another force in the opposite direction (reaction).

From the given choices, we will see that:
For choice A, the moon exerts a force on the earth by pulling it (action) and the earth responds to this force by pulling the moon (reaction in opposite direction of the action).

Therefore, the correct choice would be: 
A. <span>The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon.</span>
