From our physics class, we know that Work is a product of Force and Displacement. The force must be the force in the same direction with the displacement. So force and displacement must be parallel.

 

A. How much work in J does the string do on the boy if the boy stands still?

Since we know that: Work = Force * Displacement

and in this case displacement is equal to zero, therefore Work must also be equal to zero.

Work = 0

 

B. How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m away from the kite?

Now are given a displacement of 11 m which is a horizontal distance. Therefore we must first calculate the horizontal component of force:

Fx = 4.5 N * cos 30

Fx = 3.897 N

 

So work is:

Work = 3.897 N * 11 m

The current and the potential difference in an inductor are in phase. B. The current lags the potential difference by π/2 in an
slava [35]

Answer:

The current lags the potential difference by π/2 in an inductor

Explanation:

The potential difference leads to the current by  \frac{\pi}{2}. Alternate signals such as current and voltage -in this case- are periodic, this means that this signals are repeated at fixed spaces of time. Thus, In an inductor the current lags the potential difference by \frac{\pi}{2}.

The position of an electron is given by , with t in seconds and in meters. At t = 3.99 s, what are (a) the x-component, (b) the
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

A. Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. Vy = -45.73 m/s

C. |V| = 45.87 m/s

D. θ = -85.46°

Explanation:

Given that position, r, is given as:

r = 3.63tˆi − 5.73t^2ˆj + 8.16ˆk

Velocity is the derivative of position, r:

V = dr/dt = 3.63 - 11.46t^j

A. x component of velocity, Vx = 3.63 m/s

B. y component of velocity, Vy = -11.46t

t = 3.99 secs,

Vy = - 11.46 * 3.99 = -45.73 m/s

C. Magnitude of velocity, |V| = √[(-45.73)² + 3.63²]

|V| = √(2091.2329 + 13.1769)

|V| = √(2104.4098)

|V| = 45.87 m/s

D. Angle of the velocity relative to the x axis, θ is given as:

tanθ = Vy/Vx

tanθ = -45.73/3.63

tanθ = -12.6

θ = -85.46°

A 49 N coconut is in a 15 m tree. What is te potential energy of the coconut?
eduard

Answer:

735 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy is simply defined as the product of weight of the object and height to which the object is raised. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Potential energy = weight × height

With the above formula, we can obtain the potential energy of the coconut as follow:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy = weight × height

Potential energy = 49 × 15

Potential energy = 735 J

Thus, the potential energy of the coconut is 735 J
