If a force does not act parallel to the resulting displacement, what is the effect on the work done by the force?

1 answer:

8 0

Then only the component of the force that's parallel to the displacement
is used to calculate the work. The component of force that's perpendicular
to the displacement doesn't move through any distance at all, so its contribution
to the total work is zero.

What is hard but flexible structure is found in the nose and ears

avanturin [10]

<span>Cartilage is the hard but flexible structure found in pieces of your nose and ears. It is similar to bone, but allows for flexibility and movement. When looking at skeletons, you'll notice that they don't have a nose or ears, because cartilage deteriorates much faster than bone. Cartilage is also found in elsewhere in the animal kingdom--the skeletal structure of a shark is made primarily from cartilage!</span>

At noon, ship A is 140 km west of ship B. Ship A is sailing east at 30 km/h and ship B is sailing north at 25 km/h. How fast (in

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The rate of change of distance between the two ships is 18.63 km/h

Explanation:

Given;

distance between the two ships, d = 140 km

speed of ship A = 30 km/h

speed of ship B = 25 km/h

between noon (12 pm) to 4 pm = 4 hours

The displacement of ship A at 4pm = 140 km - (30 km/h x 4h) =

140 km - 120 km = 20 km

(the subtraction is because A is moving away from the initial position and the distance between the two ships is decreasing)

The displacement of ship B at 4pm = 25 km/h x 4h = 100 km

Using Pythagoras theorem, the resultant displacement of the two ships at 4pm is calculated as;

r² = a² + b²

r² = 20² + 100²

r = √10,400

r = 101.98 km

The rate of change of this distance is calculated as;

r² = a² + b²

r = 101.98 km, a = 20 km, b = 100 km

$2r(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 2a(\frac{da}{dt} ) + 2b(\frac{db}{dt} )\\\\r(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = a(\frac{da}{dt} ) + b(\frac{db}{dt} )\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 20(-30 ) + 100(25 )\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = -600 + 2,500\\\\101.98(\frac{dr}{dt} ) = 1900\\\\\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{1900}{101.98} = 18.63 \ km/h$
