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>

What volume in milliliters will 0.00922 g of h2 gas occupy at stp?
Nadusha1986 [10]
Assuming that this gas is in ideal state, we can use the relation that for every 1 mol of an ideal gas it would have a volume of 22.4 L. But before using this, relation we need to convert the number of grams of H2 into moles by using the molar mass of 2.02 g/mol.

moles H2 = 0.00922 g ( 1 mol / 2.02 g ) = 0.005 mol H2

Volume H2 at STP = 0.005 mol H2 ( 22.4 L / 1 mol ) = 0.102 L of H2

A small smooth object slides from rest down a smooth inclined plane inclined at 30degrees horizontal.What is the acceleration do
asambeis [7]
The acceleration is given as:

a = g sin(30°) where g is the gravitational acceleration

For g = 10 m/s^2, we get

a = 10 sin(30°) = 10 * 1/2 = 5 m/s^2

Two charges, qA and qB, are separated by a distance, d, and exert a force, F, on each other. Analyze Coulomb's law and answer th
maria [59]

Answer: a. F doubled

b. F reduced by one-quarter i.e

1/4*(F)

c. 1/9*(F)

d. F increased by a factor of 4 i.e 4*F

e. F reduces 3/4*(F)

Explanation: Coulombs law states the force F of attraction/repulsion experience by two charges qA and qB is directly proportional to thier product and inversely proportional to the square of distance d between them. That is

F = k*(qA*qB)/d²

a. If qA is doubled therefore the force is doubled since they are directly proportional.

b. If qA and qB are half, that means thier new product would be qA/2)*qB/2 =qA*qB/4

Which means the product of charge is divided by 4 so the force would be divided by 4 too since they are directly proportional.

c. If d is tripped that is multiplied by 3. From the formula new d would be (3*d)²=9d² but force is inversely proportional to d² so instead of multiplying by 9 the force will be divided by 9

d. If d is cut into half that is divided by 2. The new d would be (d/2)²=d²/4. So d² is divided by 4 so the force would be multiplied by 4

e. If qA is tripled that is multiplied by 3. F would be multiplied by 3 also, if at the same time d is doubled (2*d)²= 4*d² . Force would be divided by 4 at same time. So we have,

3/4*F
