Answer:

Explanation:

Time period of satellite T = 6.43 X 60 X 60 s

acceleration = ω²R

4π²x R / T²

4 x 3.14²x 6.38 x 10⁶ / (6.43 x60 x 60)²

= 0.47 m /s²

A factory worker pushes a 30.0-kg crate a distance of 4.5 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on
SIZIF [17.4K]

(a) 73.5 N

The velocity of the crate is constant: this means that the acceleration is zero (a=0), so according to Newton's second law

\sum F = ma

the resultant of the forces must be zero: \sum F = 0 (1)

The motion is along the horizontal direction, so we are only interested in the forces acting along this direction. There are two of them:

F, the push applied by the worker

F_f=-\mu mg, the force of friction, with \mu=0.25 being the coefficient of friction, m=30.0 kg being the mass of the crate, and g=9.8 m/s^2. The negative sign is due to the fact that the friction acts in the opposite direction to the motion. Eq.(1) then becomes

F-\mu mg=0\\F=\mu mg=(0.25)(30.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=73.5 N

So, this is the force that the worker must apply.

(b) 330.8 J

The work done by the pushing force of the worker on the crate is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F = 73.5 N is the force

d = 4.5 m is the displacement

\theta=0^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement (0 degrees, since they are in same direction)

Substituting, we have

W=(73.5 N)(4.5 m)(cos 0^{\circ})=330.8 J

(c) -330.8 J

To calculate the work done by friction, we apply the same formula:

W=F_f d cos \theta

where

F_f = \mu mg=(0.25)(30.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=73.5 N is the magnitude of the force of friction

d = 4.5 m is the displacement

\theta=180^{\circ} is the angle between the direction of the force of friction and the displacement (it is 180 degrees since the two are into opposite directions)

Substituting, we find

W=(73.5 N)(4.5 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-330.8 J

So, the work done by friction is negative.

(d) 0 J

As before, the work done by any force on the crate is

W=F_f d cos \theta

We notice that both gravity and normal force are perpendicular to the displacement: therefore, \theta=90^{circ}, and so

cos \theta=0

which means that the work done by both forces is zero.

(e) 0 J

The total work done on the crate is the sum of the work done by the four forces acting on it, so:

W=W_{push} + W_{friction}+W_{gravity}+W_{normal}=330.8J-330.8J+0+0=0

And this is in accordance with the work-energy theorem, which states that the variation of kinetic energy of the crate is equal to the work done on it: since the crate is moving at constant velocity, its variation of kinetic energy is zero, as well as the work done on it.

A pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

There is no mechanical advantage

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is possible only when the force needed to lift a load is lesser than the weight of the load.

For example, is we have a mechanical advantage of 2, the force needed to lift will be 1/2 of the weight of the load, and if we have a mechanical advantage of 4, the force needed will be 1/4 of the weight of the load.

In the attached image there are clear examples of mechanical advantage with pulleys.
