Explanation:

It is given that,

Force, F = 30 pounds = 133.4 N

Distance, d = 15 feet = 4.572 m

Time taken, t = 3 minutes = 180 seconds

Lucas's speed is given by the ratio of total displacement divided by total time taken. It is given by :

s=\dfrac{d}{t}

s=\dfrac{4.572\ m}{180\ s}

s = 0.0254 m/s

So, her speed is 0.0254 m/s.

Work done, W = F . d

W = 133.4 N × 4.572 m

W = 609.90 J

or

W = 610 J

Hence, this is the required solution.

you would multiply 30 by 15. because its the weight times the distance.

A kid pulls on a rope with 20 newtons of force. The block and tackle system pulls up a 160 newton box. What is the mechanical ad
Minchanka [31]
Answer:
The mechanical advantage of the system is 8

Explanation:
the mechanical advantage measures how much the system multiplies the input force to get the output.

In the given:
The input force (effort) is 20 Newton
The output force (load) is 160 Newton

This means that the mechanical advantage is:
mechanical advantage = load / effort = 160 / 20 = 8

Note that the mechanical advantage is unit-less (has no unit) since it is a ratio between two forces.

Hope this helps :)

What is the direction of the normal contact force of the road on the wheels?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The direction of the contact forces acting on a body is not necessarily perpendicular to the contact surface. The resolution of contact forces in two components i.e. perpendicular to contact surface and along surface. Perpendicular component is normal force and parallel component is friction.
