amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

A car is traveling at 24.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

              vf² = vo²  + 2ad

For d =100m

            a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

            a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

            a = -576/200

             a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

        vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

        vf² = 576 - 345.6

        vf² = 230.4

        vf = 15.18 m/s

A 1.8-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. A force of 40 N stretches a spring 20 cm
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) k = 200 N/m

b) E = 4 J

c) Δx = 6.3 cm

Explanation:

a)

  • In order to find force constant of the spring, k, we can use the the Hooke's Law, which reads as follows:

       F = - k * \Delta x (1)

  • where F = 40 N and Δx =- 0.2 m (since the force opposes to the displacement from the equilibrium position, we say that it's a restoring force).
  • Solving for k:

       k =- \frac{F}{\Delta x} =-\frac{40 N}{-0.2m} = 200 N/m (2)

b)

  • Assuming no friction present, total mechanical energy mus keep constant.
  • When the spring is stretched, all the energy is elastic potential, and can be expressed as follows:

        U = \frac{1}{2}* k* (\Delta x)^{2} (3)

  • Replacing k and Δx by their values, we get:

       U = \frac{1}{2}* k* (\Delta x)^{2} = \frac{1}{2}* 200 N/m* (0.2m)^{2} = 4 J (4)

c)

  • When the object is oscillating, at any time, its energy will be part elastic potential, and part kinetic energy.
  • We know that due to the conservation of energy, this sum will be equal to the total energy that we found in b).
  • So, we can write the following expression:

        \frac{1}{2}* k* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2}  = \frac{1}{2}*k*\Delta x^{2}   (5)

  • Replacing the right side of (5) with (4), k, m, and v by the givens, and simplifying, we can solve for Δx₁, as follows:

        \frac{1}{2}* 200N/m* \Delta x_{1} ^{2} + \frac{1}{2} * 1.8kg* (-2.0m/s)^{2}  = 4J   (6)

⇒      \frac{1}{2}* 200N/m* \Delta x_{1} ^{2}   = 4J  - 3.6 J = 0.4 J (7)

⇒     \Delta x_{1}   = \sqrt{\frac{0.8J}{200N/m} } = 6.3 cm (8)

Which of the following describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
I think the correct answer is the second option. A circuit describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow. It is a path that an electrical current could flow. A circuit could be a closed one or an open circuit. A closed circuit would be a circuit where the current could flow continuously. An open circuit would be a type of circuit where the flow current would only go once and stopped at a particular point since the current has nowhere to go. For a circuit to work, an electric supply should be available to supply the electric current.
