3. A large passenger ship required a force of 1,600,000 N to move 2000 m. How much work is done on the ship?

3,200,000,000 J

Explanation:

Work is defined as the amount of energy transferred as an object is moved a certain distance with a certain force. Mathematically, we express this with the equation

where W is work (measured in joules), F is the force applied (in Newtons), and s is the distance, also called the displacement (in meters).

Here, we have F = 1,600,000 N and s = 2000 m, so our work will be

J

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
