Atugboat pulls a ship with a constant net horizontal force of 4.71 × 103 n and causes the ship to move through a harbor. how much work does the tugboat do on the ship if each moves a distance of 4.57 km ?

21.53 x 10^{6} N

Explanation:

force (F) = 4.71 x 10^{3} N

distance (s) = 4.57 km = 4570 m

how much work is done.

work = force x distance

work = 4.71 x 10^{3} x 4570 = 21.53 x 10^{6} N

d₁ = displacement of tern from arctic to antarctic = 11000 miles

d₂ = displacement of tern from antarctic to arctic =   - 11000 miles

d = total displacement for the journey

total displacement for the journey is given as

d = d₁ + d₂

d = 11000 + (-11000)

d = 0 miles

t₁ = time of travel from arctic to antarctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t₂ = time of travel from antarctic to arctic = 3 months = 3 x 30 days = 90 days

t = total time of travel

total time of travel is given as

t = t₁ + t₂

t = 90 + 90

t = 180 days

average velocity is given as

average velocity = total displacement/ total time

v = d/t

v = 0/180

v = 0 miles/day
