Answer:

The work done is 205 kJ.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Work can be calculated using the following equation:

W = F · Δx

Where:

W = work

F = applied force

Δx = displacement

In this case, the force varies with the position, so we can divide the traveled distance in very small parts and calculate the work done over each part of the trajectory. Then, we have to sum all the works and we will obtain the work done from the initial position (xi) to the final position (xf). This is the same as saying:

W = ∫ F · dx  

F = 3.6 N/m³ · x³ - 76 N

W = ∫ (3.6 x³ - 76)dx

W = 0.9 x⁴ - 76x

Evaluating from xi to xf:

W = 0.9 N/m³ (21.9 m)⁴ - 76 N · 21.9 m - 0.9 N/m³(5.41 m)⁴ + 76 N · 5.41 m

W = 205 kJ

The mass of the Sun is 2multiply1030 kg, and the mass of the Earth is 6multiply1024 kg. The distance from the Sun to the Earth i
spayn [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

<em>b) 3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Mass of the sun M = 2 x 10^30 kg

mass of the Earth m = 6 x 10^24 kg

Distance between the sun and the Earth R = 1.5 x 10^11 m

From Newton's law,

F = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

where F is the gravitational force between the sun and the Earth

G is the gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

m is the mass of the Earth

M is the mass of the sun

R is the distance between the sun and the Earth.

Substituting values, we have

F = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*2*10^{30}*6*10^{24}}{(1.5*10^{11})^2} = <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

<em></em>

A) The force exerted by the sun on the Earth is equal to the force exerted by the Earth on the Sun also, and the force is equal to <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

b) The force exerted by the Earth on the Sun = <em>3.56 x 10^22 N</em>

a person was using a spanner to loosen a tight nut.Their mass was 50kg the spanner was 0.5m long i) what is the persons weight?
sineoko [7]

1) Weight of the person: 490 N

2) Maximum torque: 245 Nm

Explanation:

1)

The weight of a body is equal to the gravitational force exerted on the body; it is given by the equation

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the person in this problem,

m = 50 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface

Therefore, the weight of the person is

F=(50)(9.8)=490 N

2)

The turning force (also called torque) exerted by a force rotating an object is given by

\tau = Fd sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the length of the arm (the distance between the force and the pivotal point)

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the arm

For the spanner in this problem,

F = 490 N is the force applied (the weight of the person)

d = 0.5 m is the arm (the length of the spanner)

The maximum torque is obtained when \theta=90^{\circ}, therefore it is:

\tau=(490)(0.5)(sin 90^{\circ})=245 N\cdot m
