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

A bicyclist of mass 112 kg rides in a circle at a speed of 8.9 m/s. If the radius of the circle is 15.5 m, what is the centripet
kogti [31]
The centripetal force, Fc, is calculated through the equation, 
                                    Fc = mv²/r
where m is the mass,v is the velocity, and r is the radius. 
Substituting the known values,
                                     Fc = (112 kg)(8.9 m/s)² / (15.5 m)
                                         = 572.36 N
Therefore, the centripetal force of the bicyclist is approximately 572.36 N.

After a magnetic field is applied, how many energy levels would you expect for then=3,ℓ=2 state, including electron spin?
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The energy level is 5.

Explanation:

Given that,

n = 3

l = 2

We know that,

l shows the number of sub-shells and define the number of angular nodes.

n shows the number of electron shell.

m_{l} is a quantum number. It is define the number of energy level in a sub-shells .

m_{s} is define the spin of the electron.

So, The quantum number is

m_{l}=-2,-1,0,1,2

m_{s} is +\dfrac{1}{2} and -\dfrac{1}{2} for every energy level.

The energy level is 5.

Hence, The energy level is 5.

Four long wires are each carrying 6.0 A. The wires are located
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field, you use the following formula for the calculation of the magnetic field generated by a current in a wire:

B=\frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}

μo: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4π*10^-7 T/A

I: current = 6.0 A

r: distance to the wire in which magnetic field is measured

In this case, you have four wires at corners of a square of length 9.0cm = 0.09m

You calculate the magnetic field in one corner. Then, you have to sum the contribution of all magnetic field generated by the other three wires, in the other corners. Furthermore, you have to take into account the direction of such magnetic fields. The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand side rule.

If you assume that the magnetic field is measured in the up-right corner of the square, the wire to the left generates a magnetic field (in the corner in which you measure B) with direction upward (+ j), the wire down (down-right) generates a magnetic field with direction to the left (- i)  and the third wire generates a magnetic field with a direction that is 45° over the horizontal in the left direction (you can notice that in the image attached below). The total magnetic field will be:

B_T=B_1+B_2+B_3\\\\B_{T}=\frac{\mu_o I_1}{2\pi r_1}\hat{j}-\frac{\mu_o I_2}{2\pi r_2}\hat{i}+\frac{\mu_o I_3}{2\pi r_3}[-cos45\hat{i}+sin45\hat{j}]

I1 = I2 = I3 = 6.0A

r1 = 0.09m

r2 = 0.09m

r_3=\sqrt{(0.09)^2+(0.09)^2}m=0.127m

Then you have:

B_T=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{r_2}-\frac{cos45}{r_3})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{r_1}+\frac{sin45}{r_3})\hat{j}}]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[(-\frac{1}{0.09m}-\frac{cos45}{0.127m})\hat{i}+(\frac{1}{0.09m}+\frac{sin45}{0.127m})]\\\\B_T=\frac{(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(6.0A)}{2\pi}[-16.67\hat{i}+16.67\hat{j}]\\\\B_T=2.0*10^-5[-\hat{i}+\hat{j}]T
