Solve the following problems with complete solutions.

  1. A tugboat pulls a ship with a constant net horizontal force of 5.00 x 10 3 N and causes the ship to move through a harbor. How much work is done on the ship if it moves a distance of 3.00 km?

Example is attached below. Please refer to it.

Wtotal = (Frotal Cos 0)d = Frotald cos 0
Еxample:
How much work is done on a vacuum cleaner pulled 3.0 meter by a force of
50.0 Newton at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal?
Given:
F = 50.0 N
D = 3.0 m
Ø = 30.0°
W =?
Using the equation:
W = Fxd x cos Ø
W = (50.0 N) (3.0 m) (cos 30.0°)
W = 130 J
