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

1)why do we get electric shock while holding a live wire barefooted and not when wearing rubber shoes?
katrin2010 [14]
Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!

The net force is 180 and the mass is 1.793 what is the acceleration
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

100.390407

Explanation:

To find acceleration, you would use the formula a=f/m (acceleration equals force divided by mass) and then once you enter those numbers in the formula, a=180/1.793. Then you divide 180 divided by 1.793 which gets you an answer of 100.390407.

A rubber band has potential energy of 5 J. If the spring constant of the rubber band is 50 N/m, what is the displacement of the
Valentin [98]
To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:

PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m

Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.
