How much work is done if you push a 200 N box across a floor with a force of 50 N for a distance of 20m
vovikov84 [41]
<h2>Answer: 1000 J</h2>

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

It should be noted that it is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter:  

1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)

When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it \alpha. In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:  

W=Fdcos{\alpha} (2)

For example, in order to push the 200 N box across the floor, you have to apply a force along the distance d to overcome the resistance of the weight of the box (its 200 N).  

In this case both <u>(the force and the distance in the path) are parallel</u>, so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=50N by the distance traveled d. as shown in equation (1).

Hence:

W=(50N)(20m)  

W=1000Nm=1000J >>>>This is the work

A tennis ball moving at a speed of 4 m/s, collides with a bowling ball at rest. The tennis ball bounces back in the direction op
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Both experienced the same magnitude impulse

Explanation:

This is because, the impulse force is internal to the system of both the tennis ball and the bowling ball. It is an action-reaction pair. So, the force exerted on the tennis ball by the bowling ball equals in magnitude to the force exerted by the tennis ball on the bowling ball although, they are in opposite directions. This, both experienced the same magnitude impulse.

The amount of WORK done is determined by 2 factors.
RUDIKE [14]

Explanation :

Work is done when a force is applied to create a displacement on an object.

Thus, the work done depends on the two factors i.e.

(1) Applied force (F)

(2) Distance or displacement (d)

Mathematically, work done is W= F.s

It also depends on the angle between the force and the displacement.

        W=Fs\ cos\ \theta

For example,

A person carries a weight of 20 kg and lifts it on his head 1.5 m above the surface. So, the work done by him on the luggage will be:

W= F\times s

or

W=m\times g \times s

W=20\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.5\ m

So, W=294\ Joules

Hence, the work done by him on the luggage is 294 Joules.

The free-body diagram of a crate is shown. A free body diagram with 4 force vectors. The first vector is pointing downward, labe
satela [25.4K]

The net force acting on the crate is determined as 176 N to the left.

<h3>Net force acting on the crate</h3>

The net force acting on the crate is calculated as follows;

∑F = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4

F(net) = -440y + 176x + 440y - 352x

F(net) = -176 x

The resultant force is pointing in negative x direction.

Thus, the net force acting on the crate is determined as 176 N to the left.
