An applied force varies with position according to F = k1 x n − k2, where n = 3, k1 = 3.6 N/m3 , and k2 = 76 N. How much work is

done by this force on an object that moves from xi = 5.41 m to xf = 21.9 m? Answer in units of kJ.

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

Answer:

a) v=0.5405\ m.s^{-1}

b) v_p'=0.1143\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

mass of ball, m_b=4\ kg

initial speed of the ball, v_b=10\ m.s^{-1}

mass of the person, m_p=70\ kg

a)

Using the conservation of linear momentum:

When the person catches the ball, assuming that the person catches it with an impact without absorbing the shock.

m_b.v_b=(m_b+m_p)v

4\times 10=(4+70)\times  v

v=0.5405\ m.s^{-1}

b)

When the ball hits the person and bounces off with the velocity of v_b'=8\ m.s^{-1}.

Using the conservation of linear momentum:

m_b.v_b+m_p.v_p=m_b.v_b'+m_p.v_p'

where:

v_b'= final speed of the ball after collision

v_p'= final speed of the person after collision

v_p= initial velocity of the person = 0

putting the respective values in the above eq.

4\times 10+0=4\times 8+70\times v_p'

v_p'=0.1143\ m.s^{-1}

Which statement is true regarding a chemical reaction?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

B) The total number of atoms does not change, so mass is conserved in the reaction.

Explanation:

According to the <u><em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em></u>, no matter can ever be created or destroyed. The number of atoms does not change, thus the mass does not change.

Vinvika [58]
The Nebular Hypothesis is the most accepted explanation of the origin of our solar system. It states that the Sun was formed by a massive cloud of dust and gas light-years across, and it was bigger than the actual sun itself. Most of the mass in the center formed the sun, and the rest expanded outward.
