<span>Given:

Mass of cart: 15kg</span>

Aisle length = 14m

Angle = 17° below the horizontal

Force fp = 12 N

 

So, the solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

<span><span>1)    </span>W(by applied force) = F(applied) x s x cosθ <span>
=>W(a) = 12 x 14 x cos17* = 160.66 J </span></span>
<span><span>
2)    </span>By F(net) = F(applied) - F(friction) <span>
=>As v = constant => a = 0 => F(net) = 0 
=>F(applied) = F(friction) 
<span>=>W(friction) = -F(friction) x s
=>W(friction) = -F(applied) x s 
=>W(f) = -12 x 14 x cos17* = -160.56 J </span></span></span>
<span><span>
3)    </span>0, as the displacement is perpendicular to Force </span>
<span><span>
4)    </span>0, as the displacement is perpendicular to Force</span>  
<span>
To add, the force that is applied<span> to an object by a person or another object is called the applied force.</span></span>

How does a plasma differ from a gas
faltersainse [42]
<span>They are different and unique from the other states of matter. Plasma is different from a gas, because it is made up of groups of positively and negatively charged particles. In neon gas, the electrons are all bound to the nucleus. In neon plasma, the electrons are free to move around the system.

Hope this helps.

An undamped 1.48 kg horizontal spring oscillator has a spring constant of 35.4 N/m. While oscillating, it is found to have a spe
givi [52]

Answer: 0.798 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the spring oscillator, m = 1.48 kg

Force constant of the spring, k = 35.4 N/m

Speed of oscillation, v = 3.9 m/s

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv²

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * 1.48 * 3.9²

KE = 0.5 * 22.5108

KE = 11.26 J

Using the law of conservation of Energy. The Potential Energy of the system is equal to Kinetic Energy of the system

KE = PE

PE = 1/2kx²

11.26 = 1/2 * 35.4 * x²

11.26 = 17.7x²

x² = 11.26 / 17.7

x² = 0.6362

x = √0.6362

x = 0.798 m
