Answer:

13 km

Explanation:

The bird flies from the runner, to the finish line, and back to the runner. We can write two equations for the distance it travels:

d = 7.8 km + 7.8 km − 4.9 km/hr × t

d = 24.5 km/hr × t

Solve for t in the second equation and substitute into the first:

t = d / 24.5

d = 7.8 + 7.8 − 4.9 (d / 24.5)

d = 15.6 − 0.2 d

1.2 d = 15.6

d = 13

The bird flies a cumulative distance of 13 km.

Lab Safety Rules:

Report all accidents, injuries, and breakage of glass or equipment to instructor immediately. Keep pathways clear by placing extra items (books, bags, etc.) on the shelves or under the work tables. If under the tables, make sure that these items can not be stepped on. Long hair (chin-length or longer) must be tied back to avoid catching fire. Wear sensible clothing including footwear. Loose clothing should be secured so they do not get caught in a flame or chemicals.Work quietly — know what you are doing by reading the assigned experiment before you start to work. Pay close attention to any cautions described in the laboratory exercises Do not taste or smell chemicals. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes when heating substances, dissecting, etc. Do not attempt to change the position of glass tubing in a stopper. Never point a test tube being heated at another student or yourself. Never look into a test tube while you are heating it.Unauthorized experiments or procedures must not be attempted.Keep solids out of the sink. Leave your work station clean and in good order before leaving the laboratory. Do not lean, hang over or sit on the laboratory tables. Do not leave your assigned laboratory station without permission of the teacher. Learn the location of the fire extinguisher, eye wash station, first aid kit and safety shower. Fooling around or "horse play" in the laboratory is absolutely forbidden. Students found in violation of this safety rule will be barred from participating in future labs and could result in suspension. Anyone wearing acrylic nails will not be allowed to work with matches, lighted splints, Bunsen burners, etc. Do not lift any solutions, glassware or other types of apparatus above eye level. Follow all instructions given by your teacher.Learn how to transport all materials and equipment safely. No eating or drinking in the lab at any time!

An object of mass 6 kg. is resting on a horizontal surface. A horizontal force

son4ous [18]

Answer:

a) The work done by the applied force is 1500 joules.

b) The kinetic energy of the block after 10 seconds is 1200 joules.

c) The magnitude of the force of friction is 3 newtons and its direction is against motion.

d) 300 joules of energy are lost during motion.

Explanation:

a) Since the object has a constant mass, on which a constant horizontal force is exerted. The work done by the force ( $W$ ), measured in joules, is defined by the following expression:

$W = F\cdot \Delta x$ (1)

Where:

$F$ - Force, measured in newtons.

$\Delta x$ - Distance, measured in meters.

If we know that $F = 15\,N$ and $\Delta x = 100\,m$ , then the work done by the force exerted on the object is:

$W = (15\,N)\cdot (100\,m)$

$W = 1500\,J$

The work done by the applied force is 1500 joules.

b) At first we need to calculate the net acceleration of the object ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second. By assuming a constant acceleration, we use the following kinematic formula:

$\Delta x = v_{o}\cdot t +\frac{1}{2}\cdot a\cdot t^{2}$ (2)

Where $v_{o}$ is the initial velocity of the object, measured in meters per second.

We clear the acceleration within the equation above:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot a \cdot t^{2} = \Delta x-v_{o}\cdot t$

$a = \frac{2\cdot (\Delta x - v_{o}\cdot t)}{t^{2}}$

If we know that $\Delta x = 100\,m$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $t = 10\,s$ , then the net acceleration experimented by the object is:

$a = \frac{2\cdot \left[100\,m-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (10\,s)\right]}{(10\,s)^{2}}$

$a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

By the 2nd Newton's Law, we construct the following equation of equilibrium under the consideration of a friction force acting against the motion of the object:

$\Sigma F = F - f = m\cdot a$ (3)

Where:

$F$ - External force exerted on the object, measured in newtons.

$f$ - Kinetic friction force, measured in newtons.

If we know that $F = 15\,N$ , $m = 6\,kg$ and $a = 2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , the kinetic friction force is:

$f = F-m\cdot a$

$f = 15\,N-(6\,kg)\cdot \left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$f = 3\,N$

The work done by friction ( $W'$ ), measured in joules, is:

$W' = f\cdot \Delta x$ (4)

$W' = (3\,N) \cdot (100\,m)$

$W' = 300\,J$

And the net work experimented by the object is:

$\Delta W = 1500\,J - 300\,J$

$\Delta W = 1200\,J$

By the Work-Energy Theorem we understand that change in translational kinetic energy ( $\Delta K$ ), measured in joules, is equal to the change in net work. That is:
