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

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

Imagine an infinite earth with a hole dripped through it. You fall in and accelerate at g~10m/s/s. How long until you reach the
Soloha48 [4]

An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds

Which of the following statements correctly describes the models put forth by Ptolemy and Copernicus to explain the universe? A.
FrozenT [24]
The correct option is D. 
The model developed by Ptolemy has a lot of inconsistency and during the middle age additional explanation was offered for the claims made by the model. The model was very complicated because it was based on erroneous assumptions.
Copernicus model was simpler and some of his claims were correct.<span />

melomori [17]

Answer:

Respuesta correcta, opción D: Es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.

Explanation:

La definición de presión es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce en dirección perpendicular sobre el área en la que actúa.

Cuando se aplica una fuerza sobre la superficie de un cuerpo, la presión es la siguiente:

P = \frac{F}{A}

En donde:

F es la fuerza aplicada.

A es el área del cuerpo.  

Por lo tanto la opción correcta es la D: es la fuerza que un cuerpo ejerce perpendicularmente sobre el área en la que actúa.

Espero que se sea de utilidad!
