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

Choose the best description of the attraction between you and your classmate.
Lerok [7]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. There is not enough information to answer this question

Explanation:

The universal gravitational constant = 6.67408 × 10⁻¹¹ 3³/(kg·s²)

For an in between distance of 1 m and equal masses of 60 kg, we have;

F = G \times \dfrac{m_{1}  \times m_{2}}{r^{2}} = 6.67408 \times 10^{-11}  \times \dfrac{60 \times 60}{1^{2}}  \approx  2.403 \times 10^{-7} N

The gravitational attraction ≈ 2.403 × 10⁻⁷ N, which does not correspond with the answers, therefore, the best option is that there is not enough information to answer this question.

A 1900kg airplane is flying at an altitude of 510 above the ground. What is the gravitational potential energy in Joules?
Natalija [7]

Answer: 9496200 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the moving plane since it moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 1900kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 510 metres (units of height is metres)

Thus, GPE = 1900kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 510m

GPE = 9496200 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy of the airplane is 9496200 joules

Three deer, a, b, and c, are grazing in a field. deer b is located 62.1 m from deer a at an angle of 54.3 ° north of west. deer
sveticcg [70]

by cosine law we know that

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2 abcos\theta

\theta = 180 - 54.3 - 79.1 = 46.6 degree

now using above equation

93.8^2 = 62.1^2 + b^2 - 2*62.1*b * cos46.6

4942.03 = b^2 - 85.34 b

b^2 - 85.34b - 4942.03 = 0

by solving above quadratic equation we have

b = 124.9 m

so it is at distance 124.9 m from deer a

Atmospheric pressure is greater at the base of a mountain than at
aliina [53]

At the top of the mountain, when he tightens the cap onto the bottole, there is some water and some air inside the bottle.  Then he brings the bottle down to the base of the mountain.

The pressure on the outside of the bottle is greater  than it was when he put the cap on.  If anything could get out of the bottlde, it would. But it can't . . . the cap is on too tight. So all the water and all the air has to stay inside, and anything that can get squished into a smaller space has to get squished into a smaller space.

The water is pretty much unsquishable.

Biut the air in there can be <em>COMPRESSED</em>.  The air gets squished into a smaller space, and the bottle wrinkles in slightly.
