Answer:

Answer is A.

Explanation:

Remember the equation for work:

W = F d cos θ

Math explanation: When θ = 0, cos θ = 1, so Fd is a maximum. For any other value of θ up to 90 degrees, cos θ < 1 so Fd will be smaller. For θ = 180, you're pushing away from the direction of displacement so you're actually doing negative work.

Intuitive explanation: you have the most success pushing an object when you apply the force directly against it compared to if the force was directed at an angle.

The glass in a window is 35 inches wide and 20 inches tall, and standard atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch. Wh

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:103 pounds

Explanation:

Given

width of window $b=35 in.$

height of window $h=20 in.$

standard atmospheric pressure $P_{outside}=14.7 psi$

Also $P_{inside}=1.01P_{outside}$

Thus Net Force on the window will be the algebraic sum of Force due to outside and inside Pressure .

$F_{net}=(P_{inside}-P_{outside})\cdot A$

$F_{net}=P_{outside}(1.01-1)\times 35\times 20$

$F_{net}=14.7\times 0.01\times 35\times 20$

$F_{net}=102.9\ pounds\approx 103\ pounds$

Suppose you are an astronaut and you have been stationed on a distant planet. You would like to find the acceleration due to the

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion expressed as v = u+gt where;

v is the final velocity of the ball

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

Given

u = 9m/s

v = 0m/s

t = 6.4s

Required

acceleration due to gravity g

Since the rock is thrown up, g will be a negative value.

v = u+(-g)t

0 = 9-6.4g

-9 = -6.4g

6.4g = 9

divide both sides by 6.4

6.4g/6.4 = 9/6.4

g = 1.40625m/s²

Hence the acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 1.40625m/s²

A 0.40 kg mass hangs on a spring with a spring constant of 12 N/m. The system oscillated with a constant amplitude of 12 cm. Wha

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.

Explanation:

The motion of the mass-spring system is represented by the following formula:

$x(t) = A\cdot \cos (\omega \cdot t + \phi)$

Where:

$x(t)$ - Position of the mass with respect to the equilibrium position, measured in centimeters.

$A$ - Amplitude of the mass-spring system, measured in centimeters.

$\omega$ - Angular frequency, measured in radians per second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

$\phi$ - Phase, measured in radians.

The acceleration experimented by the mass is obtained by deriving the position equation twice:

$a (t) = -\omega^{2}\cdot A \cdot \cos (\omega\cdot t + \phi)$

Where the maximum acceleration of the system is represented by $\omega^{2}\cdot A$ .

The natural frequency of the mass-spring system is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

$m$ - Mass, measured in kilograms.

If $k = 12\,\frac{N}{m}$ and $m = 0.40\,kg$ , the natural frequency is:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{12\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.40\,kg} }$

$\omega \approx 5.477\,\frac{rad}{s}$

Lastly, the maximum acceleration of the system is:

$a_{max} = \left(5.477\,\frac{rad}{s})^{2}\cdot (12\,cm)$

$a_{max} = 359.970\,\frac{cm}{s^{2}}$

The maximum acceleration of the system is 359.970 centimeters per square second.
