Hello!

So we have a 5kg box with two forces acting on it in opposite directions. So by Analysis of the diagram we can conclude that the box will be moving in the positive x direction( or to the right) with a constant acceleration of: F(net)=ma; so a=F/m=5N/5kg=1m/s^2; with a total net force of 5N

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask and I’ll get right back to you. Thank you kindly.

One end of a horizontal spring with force constant 76.0 N/m is attached to a vertical post. A 5.00-kg can of beans is attached t

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

a. The speed is 2.39 m/s

b. The acceleration of the block is 10.2 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

First, we have to do the energy balance where we consider two states, the first where the spring remains still and the second when it is stretched 0.400m:

$K_{1} +U_{1}+W_{ext}=K_{2}+U_{2}\\K_{1}=0\\U_{1}=\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} _{1} =0\\W_{ext}=F$ Δx= $(0.400m)\\$

W_{ext}=20.4 Nm

$U_{2} =\frac{1}{2} kx^{2} =\frac{1}{2} (76.0N/m)0.400^{2}=6.08Nm\\k_{2} =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} _{2} \\\frac{1}{2} mv^{2} _{2}=W_{ext}-U_{2}\\v_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{W_{ext}-U_{2}}{m} } \\v_{2}=\sqrt{\frac{20.4Nm-6.08Nm}{2.5kg} } \\v_{2}=2.39 \frac{m}{s}$

To determine, the acceleration we solve the following equation for a:

$F=ma\\a=\frac{F}{m} =\frac{51.0N}{5.00kg}\\a=10.2\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Un montañero de 65kg de masa ha ascendido a la cima del Everest, la montaña más alta del mundo de 8848m de altura sobre el nivel

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

El trabajo realizado para subir los últimos 500 metros es 318727,5 joules.

Explanation:

Por la definición de trabajo sabemos que el montañero debió contrarrestar trabajo causado por la gravedad terrestre. Si asumimos que el cambio de la altura es muy pequeño en comparación con el radio del planeta (6371 kilómetros vs. 0,5 kilómetros), entonces podemos considerar que la aceleración gravitacional es constante y la ecuación de trabajo ( $\Delta W$ ), medido en joules, que reducida a:
