A 12.0-kg package in a mail-sorting room slides 2.00 m down a chute that is inclined at 53.0° below the horizontal. The coeffici

ent of kinetic friction between the package and the chute’s surface is 0.40. Calculate the work done on the package by (a) friction, (b) gravity, and (c) the normal force. (d) What is the net work done on the package

Answer

given,

mass of the package = 12 kg

slides down distance = 2 m

angle of inclination = 53.0°

coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.4

a) work done on the package by friction is

              W_f = -μk R d

                   = -μk (mg cos 53°)(2.0)

                   =-(0.4)(8.0 )(9.8)(cos 53°)(2.0)

                   = -37.75 J

b)

work done on the package by gravity is

             W_g = m (g sin 53°) d

                   = (8.0 )(9.8 )(sin 53°)(2.0 )

                   =125.23 J

c)

the work done on the package by the normal force is

             W_n = 0

d)

the net work done on the package is

           W = -37.75 + 125.23 + 0

           W = 87.84 J

Atomic nuclei are made of protons and neutrons. This fact by itself shows thatthere must be some other type of force in addition
Stells [14]

Protons and neutrons are packed together in a very small region called nucleus. Protons are positively charged and we know that like charges repel. Then how is it that protons are not repelling each other and flying away from nucleus?

You may think that gravitational force is holding all the protons together but it is not so. Gravitational force is many times weaker than repulsive force.

It is actually strong force which holds proton together. At this short distance, strong force comes into play and is several times stronger than the repulsive force.

A cannon is fired straight up into the air. If the cannon ball comes back down to the launch point in 5 seconds, what was the ma
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

30.63 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Maximum height (h) =.?

Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

5 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 5/2

t = 2.5 s

Thus, the time (t) taken to reach the maximum height is 2.5 s

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 2.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 2.5²

h = 4.9 × 6.25

h = 30.625 ≈ 30.63 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 30.63 m

What is the magnitude of the momentum of a 3400 kg airplane traveling at a speed of 450 miles per hour?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of momentum of the airplane is 6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the airplane, m = 3400 kg

Speed of the airplane, v = 450 miles per hour

Since, 1 mile per hour = 0.44704 m/s

v = 201.16 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of momentum of the airplane. It is given by the product of mas and velocity such that,

p=mv

p=3400\ kg\times 201.16 \ m/s

p=683944\ kg-m/s

or

p=6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s

So, the magnitude of momentum of the airplane is 6.83\times 10^5\ kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
