A man pulls on his dog's leash to keep him from running after a bicycle. Which term best describes this example?

We know the answer doesn't have to do with force because we have not identified a positive or negative axis.

Depending on what the system we are evaluating is, the sign of the work can change.

If work is done on the system, it is negative, but if work is done by the system, it is positive.

If the system we are evaluating is the leash, the work is being done by the leash, and therefore, the work is positive.

If the system we are evaluating is the dog, the work is being done on the dog, and therefore, the work is negative.

The displacement of a car is a function of time as follows: x(t)=25+3.0t², with x is in meters. Find the average velocity betwee

aniked [119]

Answer: 15m/s

Explanation: Average Velocity is vector describing the total displacement of an object and the time taken to change its position. It is represented as:

$v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$

At t₁ = 1.0s, displacement x₁ is:

$x(1)=25+3(1)^{2}$

x(1) = 28

At t₂ = 4.0s:

$x(4)=25+3(4)^{2}$

x(4) = 73

Then, average speed is

$v=\frac{73-28}{4-1}$

v = 15

The average velocity of a car between t₁ = 1s and t₂ = 4s is 15m/s

On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 280 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You'r

Answer:

5.31143691523 m/s²

Explanation:

m = Mass = 280 g

x = Displacement of spring = 21.7 cm

Time period

$T=\dfrac{14}{11}\\\Rightarrow T=1.27\ s$

Angular velocity is given by

$\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{1.27}\\\Rightarrow \omega=4.94739\ rad/s$

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow k=\omega^2m\\\Rightarrow k=4.94739^2\times 0.28\\\Rightarrow k=6.85346698739\ N/m$

From Hooke's law

$mg=kx\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{kx}{m}\\\Rightarrow g=\dfrac{6.85346698739\times 0.217}{0.28}\\\Rightarrow g=5.31143691523\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 5.31143691523 m/s²

Yes, I have been able to satisfy my curiosity.

How does free energy challenge the scientific definition of energy?

gtnhenbr [62]

Free Energy is a thermodynamic quantity given by the subtraction between the internal energy of a system and the product of its absolute temperature and entropy.
 In physics, the ability to do work.

I may not be completely sure but compare those 2 things together and you should find your answer.
