How much work is done if you push a box 150 meters with a force of 1.4 N

Physics
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]4 years ago
6 0
The work done to push the box is equal to the product between the force and the distance through which the force is applied:
W=Fd
In our problem, the force is F=1.4 N and the distance covered is d=150 m, so the work done by pushing the box is
W=Fd=(1.4 N)(150 m)=210 J

A solid cylinder of mass 20kg rolls without slipping down a 30° slope. Find the acceleration and the frictional force needed to
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

F = 32.7 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are three forces:

Weight force mg pulling straight down.

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the slope.

Friction force F pushing parallel up the slope.

Sum of forces in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ − F = ma

Sum of torques about the cylinder's axis:

∑τ = Iα

Fr = ½ mr²α

F = ½ mrα

Since the cylinder rolls without slipping, a = αr.  Substituting:

F = ½ ma

Two equations, two unknowns (a and F).  Substituting the second equation into the first:

mg sin θ − ½ ma = ma

Multiply both sides by 2/m:

2g sin θ − a = 2a

Solve for a:

2g sin θ = 3a

a = ⅔ g sin θ

a = ⅔ (9.8 m/s²) (sin 30°)

a = 3.27 m/s²

Solving for F:

F = ½ ma

F = ½ (20 kg) (3.27 m/s²)

F = 32.7 N

2. An optical fibre is 1200km long and it takes light 0.006s to travel from one end to the other. Calculate the speed of light i
natita [175]
The average speed <em>appears to be</em> (distance) / (time) =

(length of the cable) / (time from when a pulse goes in until it comes out the other end) .

That's  1,200,000 meters/ 0.006 second  =  2 x 10^8 = <em>2 hundred million m/sec</em>

That figure is about 66.7% of the speed of light in vacuum.

The reason I went through all of this detail was to point out that this is
NOT necessarily the speed of light in this glass, for two reasons.

1).  The path of light through an optical fiber is not straight down the middle.  In the original fibers of 20 or 30 years ago, the light bounced back and forth off the inside walls of the fiber, and zig-zagged its way along the length.  In current modern fibers, it still zig-zags, but it's a more gentle, up-and-down curved path.  In either case, the distance covered by the light inside the fiber is more than the straight length of the cable, and the time it takes it to come out the other end is more than its actual speed inside the glass would have meant if it could have traveled straight through the pipe.

2).  This problem talks about an optical fiber that's 1,200km long.  There is loss in optical fiber, and you're NOT going to get light all the way through a single piece of it that's something like 745 miles long.  It takes electronic repeaters, "boosters", and regenerators every few miles to keep it going, and these devices add "latency" or time delay in the process of going through them.  That delay in the electronics shows up as apparent delay through the fiber-optic cable, and it makes the speed through the glass appear to be slower than it actually is.

noname [10]

Decreasing the mass of the car will help increase the acceleration of the car using application of Newton’s laws of motion.

<h3>What is Newton's law of motion?</h3>

This law discusses the relationship between motion of a substance and the forces acting on it.

Heavy objects are more difficult to move which is why decrease in mass will help increase the acceleration.
