Answer: 7.3 kJ

Explanation:

Work = gravitational potential energy

Amount of work done to lift the box off the ground is stored in the form gravitational potential energy.

W = m g h

where m is the mass = 62 kg

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h is the height = 12 m

W = 62 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 12 m = 7298. 6 J = 7.3 kJ

A body of mass 2 kg at O has an initial velocity of 3m/s along OE and it is subjected to a force of 4N perpendicular to OE the d

timofeeve [1]

Perpendicular acceleration:
F = ma
a = 4 / 2 = 2 m/s²

Perpendicular distance:

s = ut + 1/2 at²
s = 0 x 4 + 1/2 x 2 x 4²
s = 16 m

Horizontal distance:
s = ut
= 3 x 4
= 12 m

Total distance = √(12² + 16²)
= 20 m.

A 75-g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.540 m long. choose the origin to be at the location where the bullet begin

lyudmila [28]

Part a) The work done by the gas on the bullet is the integral of the force in dx, where x is the distance covered by the bullet inside the barrel with respect to the origin:
$W= \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {F} \, dx = \int\limits^{0.540m}_{0} {(16000+10000x-26000x^2)} \, dx =$
$=16000x+10000 \frac{x^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{x^3}{3}$
By substituting the length of the barrel, L=0.540 m, we find the total work done by the gas on the bullet:
$W=16000(0.540m)+10000 \frac{(0.540m)^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{(0.540m)^3}{3} =$
$=8733 J=8.73 kJ$

part b) The resolution of the problem is the same, we just have to use the new length of the barrel (L=0.95 m) inside the final formula, and we find the new value of the work:
$W=16000(0.95m)+10000 \frac{(0.95m)^2}{2} - 26000 \frac{(0.95m)^3}{3} =$
$=12280 J=12.28 kJ$
