A 45-kg box is being pushed a distance of 6.4 m across the floor by a force P with arrow whose magnitude is 170 N. The force P w

ith arrow is parallel to the displacement of the box. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.22. Determine the work done on the box by each of the four forces that act on the box. Be sure to include the proper plus or minus sign for the work done by each force. (The floor is level and horizontal. Forces that act on the box: pushing force P, frictional force f, normal force N, and weight mg.)

Answer:

a) Work done on the box by pushing force P :  W= + 1088 J

b) Work done on the box  by the weight(W) of the box: W=0

c)  Work done on the box  by normal force N : W=0

d) Work done on the box  by the frictional force f  :W = -620.92 J

Explanation:

Work is defined as the Scalar product  of force F by the distance the body travels due to this force.  

W= F*d*cosα Formula ( 1)

Where:

W:  Work done on the body by the force (J)

d :  distance the body travels (m)

α : angle formed between force and displacement (°)

The work is positive (W+) if the force has the same direction of movement of the object.  (because α=0°, cos 0°=1)

The work is negative (W-) if the force has the opposite direction of the movement of the object.   (because α=180°, cos180°=-1)

The component of the force that performs work must be parallel to the displacement (because α=0°, cos 0°=1)

Perpendicular forces to displacement do not perform work (because α=90°,cos 90°=0)

Forces that act on the box:

Pushing force: P = 170 N          

Weight  :W=  m*g= 45 kg * 9.8 m/s²= 441 N

Normal force : N

Frictional force : f    

We apply Newton's second law to calculate N

∑F = m*a    Formula  (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

∑Fy = m*ay  ,   ay=0

N-W = 0

N=W = 441 N

We apply the following formula to calculate f:

f= μk*N  Formula (2)

Where:

Friction force : f

μk: coefficient of kinetic friction

N : Normal force (N)  

Data: μk= 0.22  ,  N= 441 N

We replace data in the formula (2)

f= 0.22*441

f= 97.02 N

Calculating the work done on the box by each of the four forces that act on the box

We apply the formula (1) to calculate the work

a) Work done on the box by pushing force P

P= 170 , d=6.4 m  , α= 0°

W=  P*d*cosα =  170N*6.4m*cos0°  = 1088 N *m

W=  1088 J

b) Work done on the box  by the weight(W) of the box

W= 441 N , d=6.4 m  , α= 90°

W= 441N *6.4m*cos90°=0

W=0

c)  Work done on the box  by normal force N

N= 441 N , d=6.4 m  , α= 90°

W= 441N *6.4m*cos90°=0

W=0

d) Work done on the box  by the frictional force f

f= 97.02 N , d=6.4 m  , α= 180°

W= 441N *6.4m*cos 180°

W = -620.92 N

What is the difference between a theory and a law?
algol [13]

A theory is a system of ideas that isn't exactly proven to be true fully. A law is a description of whatever scientific phenomena you're studying. All you need to know is a law describes, and a theory explains.

What do these letters stand for<br> P=mv
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The equation for momentum of a piece of matter.

In either case, the momentum would be less than a linebacker hitting you at full speed. The equation for momentum is written: p = mv where p stands for momentum. That is, mass times velocity equals momentum.

A table tennis ball has a mass of about 2.45 g. Suppose the ball is hit across the table with a speed of 4.0 m/s. What is it’s k
cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.0196 j

Explanation:

i) The formula for kinetic energy is as follows: 0.5*m*v^2

ii) Since we have all the values all that's left is to plug them into the equation

iii) First, WE MUST, Convert grams into kgs as this is the SI unit of mass so 2.45/1000

iv) All that's left now is to plug it into the equation so:

0.5* (s.45/1000)*(4^2)

v) Lastly we add the unit joules at the end as we're talking about energy

Hope this was useful! :)

Three bullets are fired simultaneously by three guns aimed toward the center of a circle where they mash into a stationary lump.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

2,87 * 10^{-3}

Explanation:

When the bullets meet at the center and collide, since momentum is a vectoral quantity, their momentum vectors even up and are sumof zero. Formula of momentum is P = m.v , where m is mass and v is velocity. Let’s name the first two bullets as x,y and the one which mass is unknown as z. Then calculate momentum of x and y:

Px= 5,30 * 10^{-3} * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

Py= 5,30 * 10^{-3} * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s

The angle between x and y bullets is 120°, and we know that if the angle between two equal magnitude vectors is 120°, the magnitude of the resultant vector will be equal to first two and placed in exact middle of two vectors. So we can say total momentum of x and y (Px+Py) equals to 1,5953 kg*m/s as well (Shown in the figure).  

For z bullet to equalize the total momentum of x and y bullets, it needs to have the same amount of momentum in the opposite way.

Pz = 1,5953 = m * 554

m = 2,87 * 10^{-3} kg
