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.

A small sandbag is dropped from rest from a hovering hot-air balloon. (assume the positive direction is upward.) (a) after 1.5 s
marishachu [46]

solution:

We know v0 = 0, a = 9.8, t = 4.0. We need to solve for v

so,

we use the equation:

v = v0 + at

v = 0 + 9.8*4.0

v = 39.2 m/s

Now we just need to solve for d, so we use the equation:

d = v0t + 1/2*a*t^2

d = 0*4.0 + 1/2*9.8*4.0^2

d = 78.4 m

You wish to produce an emf of 41.0 mV using an inductor whose inductance is 13.0 H. You start with a current of 1.50 mA through
Molodets [167]

Answer:

The current through the inductor at the end of 2.60s is 9.7 mA.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the inductor, V = 41.0 mV

inductance of the inductor, L = 13 H

initial current in the inductor, I₀ = 1.5 mA

change in time, Δt = 2.6 s

The emf of the inductor is given by;

V = L\frac{di}{dt} \\\\V = \frac{L(I_1-I_o)}{dt} \\\\L(I_1-I_o) = V*dt\\\\I_1-I_o = \frac{V*dt}{L}\\\\I_1 =  \frac{V*dt}{L} + I_o\\\\I_1 = \frac{41*10^{-3}*2.6}{13} +1.5*10^{-3}\\\\I_1 = 8.2*10^{-3} + 1.5*10^{-3}\\\\I_1 = 9.7 *10^{-3} \ A\\\\ I_1 = 9.7 \ mA

Therefore, the current through the inductor at the end of 2.60 s is 9.7 mA.

A 100 N force is applied to move an object a horizontal distance of 5 meters at constant speed in 10 seconds. How much power is
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

50 W

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given :</u></h3>

  • Force applied = 100 N
  • Distance covered = 5 metres
  • Time = 10 seconds

<h3><u>To find :</u></h3>

Power

<h3><u>Solution :</u></h3>

For calculating power, we first need to know about the work done.

\bf \boxed{Work = Force \times displacement}

Now, substituting values in the above formula;

Work = 100 × 5

= 500 Nm or 500 J

We know that,

\bf \boxed{Power=\dfrac{Work\:done}{Time\: taken}}

Substituting values in above formula;

Power = 500/ 10

= 50 Nm/s or 50 W

Hence, power = 50 W .

How much time does it take a dropped object to fall 180 m on Earth?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

6s

Explanation:

Assume it is dropped from rest and the gravitational acceleration is 10

By the equation of motion under constant acceleration:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

180 = (0)t+10(t^2)/2

t = 6 or -6 (rejected)

t = 6 s
