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

Weeds are very important agronomically because they reduce the yield of crops in three ways: by competing with the crop for water, light and nutrients, by interfering with crop harvest, and by contaminating harvested products with weed seeds and toxins. Weeds can reduce yield up to 50% and are responsible for millions of dollars in crop losses each year.

It’s biotic factor would be competition as Competition can be defined as an interaction between organisms or species, in which the fitness of one is lowered by the presence of another.

You are driving due north on i-81 to come to jmu with a speed of 10 m/s, suddenly you realize you forgot your book. You make a u
Readme [11.4K]

first we make a U turn and travel towards home in t = 20 s

so the distance of home from initial position is

d_1 = v*t_1

d_1 = 10*20 = 200 m

Now after picking up the book we travel back with speed 20 m/s

so again after t = 20 s the displacement is given as

d_2 = v*t = 20*20 = 400 m

so the net displacement is given as

\vec d = \vec d_2 - \vec d_1

\vec d = 400 - 200 = 200 m

so it will be displaced by total displacement 200 m

Why does matter increase in volume when it heats up?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. ... Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy ) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.

Imagine that you have a 6.50 l gas tank and a 4.50 l gas tank. you need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylen
Margarita [4]
V₁(O2) = 6.50<span>  L                
</span>p₁(O2) = 155 atm          
V₂(acetylene) = <span>4.50 L                   
</span>p₂(acetylene) =?                             

According to Boyle–Mariotte law (At constant temperature and unchanged amount of gas, the product of pressure and volume is constant) we can compare two gases that have ideal behavior and the law can be usefully expressed as:

V₁/p₁ = V₂/p₂

6.5/155 = 4.5/p₂

0.042 x p₂ = 4.5

p₂ = 107.3 atm
