When a swimmer pushes threw water to swim they are propelled forward because of the water resistance against the hand and feet.
Answer:
t = 4.17 [s]
Explanation:
We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.
W = F*d
where:
F = force [N] (units of Newtons)
d = distance = 6.34 x 10⁴ [mm] = 63.4 [m]
In order to find the force, we must determine the weight of the box, the weight can be determined by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.
w = m*g
where:
m = mass = 1.47 x 10⁴ [g] = 14.7 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
w = 14.7*9.81
w = 144.2 [N]
Therefore the work can be calculated.
W = w*d
W = 144.2*63.4
W = 9142.72 [J] (units of Joules)
Power is now defined in physics as the relationship of work at a given time
P = W/t
where:
P = power = 2190 [W]
t = time [s]
Now clearing t, we have.
t = W/P
t = 9142.72/2190
t = 4.17 [s]
Answer:
Friction, normal force, and weight
Explanation:
If the book slows down, it means that there must be friction acting in the opposite direction of the direction the book is moving in.
Weight is caused by the gravitational pull of the Earth on the book, and normal force is the table pushing the book up because the book is pushing down on the table (3rd law.)
Note that weight and normal force is not the 3rd law action-reaction pair. The pair is the force of the book on the table and the force of the table on the book.
