The first thing you should know for this case is that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled in the direction of force.
 We have then:
 W = Fd
 The distance varies, so we must integrate:
 from 0 to 20:
 W = ∫F (x) dx
 W = ∫32xdx
 W = 32∫xdx
 W = 32 (x ^ 2/2) = (16) (20 ^ 2) = 6400 ft * lbs
 answer:
 6400 ft * lbs is work done pulling the rope up 20 ft

A ball is moving with a velocity of 0.5 m/s its velocity is decreasing at the rate of 0.05 m/s² what is its velocity in 5 second
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

v after 5s = 0.25 m/s, it took 10s to stop, it has traveled 2.5m before stopping

Explanation

We can use the equation of motion with constant acceleration

Given: v0= 0.5 m/s a= -0.05 m/s²

v(5s) = v0 + a×t = 0.25 m/s

Stop => v=0 => v0 + a×t = 0 => t=10s

Distance at t=10s ⇒ x(10) = 0.5×10 + 0.5x(-0.05)x10² = 2.5m

Odometer: tells you the distance traveled by vehicle since it was new (or when last reset)

Speedometer: tells you the velocity of the vehicle at that moment.

Light passes through a pair of narrow slits with a 0.67-mm separation. It is found that the fourth bright fringe makes an angle
babunello [35]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 555 nm.

Explanation:

according to Bragg's law..

n×λ = d×sin(θ)

n is the fringe number

λ is the wavelength of the light

d is the slit separation

θ is the angle the light makes with the normal at the fringe.
