Atugboat pulls a small barge through a harbor. the propeller thrust minus the drag produces a net thrust that varies linearly with speed. the combined weight of the tug and barge is 3600 kn. the relationship between force and velocity is plotted below: determine the time required to increase the speed from an initial value v1 = 1.0 m/s to a final value v2 = 2.5 m/s. the time required to increase the speed from an initial value v1 = 1.0 m/s to a final value v2 = 2.5 m/s is s

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
