Two men, Joel and Jerry, each pushes an object that are identical on a horizontal frictionless floor starting from rest. Joel an

d Jerry are using the same force F. Jerry stops after 10 min, while Joel is able to push for 5.0 min longer. Compare the work they do.

Answer:

The work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Explanation:

Let suppose that forces are parallel or antiparallel to the direction of motion. Given that Joel and Jerry exert constant forces on the object, the definition of work can be simplified as:

W = F\cdot \Delta s

Where:

W - Work, measured in joules.

F - Force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

\Delta s - Travelled distance by the object, measured in meters.

During the first 10 minutes, the net work exerted on the object is zero. That is:

W_{net} = W_{Joel} - W_{Jerry}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s - F\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = (F-F)\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\cdot \Delta s

W_{net} = 0\,J

In exchange, the net work in the next 5 minutes is the work done by Joel on the object:

W_{net} = W_{Joel}

W_{net} = F\cdot \Delta s

Hence, the work done by Joel is greater than the work done by Jerry.

Could someone explain to me how to got the answer B, thank you very much​
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

since -6 lasted for 5 seconds, multiplying both would result in -30

3 lasted for 10 seconds, so multiplying both would give +30

average = ( 30 + (-30) ) / 2

30 -30 is already equal to zero, so the answer should be 0

According to Newton, an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced forceacting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object - changing its speed, its direction, or both its speed and direction.

At a given instant, the force on an electron is in the +z-direction (out of the page), which the electron is moving in the +x-di
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The direction of the B-field is in the +y-direction.

Explanation:

The corresponding formula is

F_B = qv\times B

This means, we should use right-hand rule.

Our index finger is pointed towards +x-direction (direction of velocity),

our middle finger should point towards the direction of the B-field,

and our thumb should point towards the +z-direction (direction of the force).

Since our middle finger in this situation points towards +y-direction, the B-field should be in +y-direction.

\^{x} \times \^{y} = \^{z}

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The minimum total speed is 11.2km/s

Explanation:

We are been asked to find the escape velocity.

Escape velocity is defined as the minimum initial velocity that will take a body(projectile)away above the surface of a planet(earth) when it's projected vertically upwards.

The formula to calculate the escape velocity is Ve = √2gR

For the earth g = 9.8m/s2 , R = 6.4*10^6

Substituting into the equation Ve = √2*9.8*6.4*10^6 = 11.2*10^3m/s

=11.2km/s
