Answer:

W=1705.2 J

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m= 60 kg

Acceleration due to gravity ,g= 9.8 m/s²

Height ,h= 2.9 m

As we know that work done by a force given as

W = F . d

F=force

d=Displacement

W=work done by force

Now by putting the values

F= m g (Acting downward  )

d= h  (Upward)

W= m g h    ( work done against the force)

W= 60 x 9.8 x 2.9 J

W=1705.2 J

Therefore the answer will be 1705.2 J.

Are the objects described here in static equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium, or not equilibrium at all? Explain.
Alexandra [31]
Let us examine the given situations one at a time.

Case a. A 200-pound barbell is held over your head.
The barbell is in static equilibrium because it is not moving.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case b. A girder is being lifted at a constant speed by a crane.
The girder is moving, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case c: A jet plane has reached its cruising speed at an altitude.
The plane is moving at cruising speed, but not accelerating. It is in dynamic equilibrium.
Answer: DYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM

Case d: A box in the back of a truck doesn't slide as the truck stops.
The box does not slide because the frictional force between the box and the floor of the truck balances out the inertial force. The box is in static equilibrium.
Answer: STATIC EQUILIBRIUM

ANTONII [103]
Distance travelled in south direction= 1.5hr*0.75km/hr= 1.125km
Distance travlled in north direction= 0.90*2.5=2.25
Net displacement = 2.25-1.125= 1.125 to the north

The electric field between two parallel plates is uniform, with magnitude 628 N/C. A proton is held stationary at the positive p
aliina [53]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

Data Given:

Electric Field between two parallel plates = 628 N/C

Separation = 4.22 cm

a) In this part, we are asked to calculate the distance from positive plate at which the electron and proton pass each other.

Solution:

First of all:

Force on proton due to the Electric field between the plates is:

F_{p} = q_{p}E

and, we know that, F = ma

So,

m_{p}a = q_{p}E

a = \frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }      Equation 1

So,

The distance covered by the electron is:

S = ut + 1/2at^{2}

Here, u = 0.

S = 1/2at^{2}

Put equation 1 into the above equation:

S = 1/2 x (\frac{q_{p}.E }{m_{p} }  )t^{2}      Equation 2

So,  

Similarly, the distance covered by electron will be:

(D-S) = 1/2 x (\frac{q_{e}.E }{m_{e} }  )t^{2}    Equation 3

We know that the charge of electron is equal to the charge of proton so,

q_{p} = q_{e} = q

By dividing the equation 2 by equation 3, we get:

\frac{S}{D-S} = \frac{m_{e} }{m_{p} }

Solve the above equation for S,

Sm_{p} = m_{e}D - m_{e}S

So,

S = \frac{m_{e}.D }{(m_{e} + m_{p})  }

Plugging in the values,

As we know the mass of electron is 9.1 x 10^{-31} and the mass of proton is 1.67 x 10^{-27}

S = \frac{9.1 . 10^{-31} . 4.22 }{(9.1 . 10^{-31} + 1.67 . 10^{-27}  }

S = 0.002298 cm (Distance from the positive plate at which the two pass each other)

b) In this part, we to calculate distance for Sodium ion and chloride ion as above.

So,

we already have the equation, we need to put the values in it.

So,

S = \frac{m_{Cl}.D }{(m_{Cl} + m_{Na})  }

As we know the mass of chlorine is 35.5 and of sodium is 23

S = \frac{35.5 . 4.22}{(35.5 + 23)}

S = 2.56 cm
