Answer: 1, 2 and 3.

Explanation:

By definition, work, is the process through which a force, applied on an object, produces a displacement of this object, and can be expressed as the dot product of the force vector and the displacement vector.

It can be also understood as the projection of the force in the direction of the displacement, so, if both vectors are perpendicular, as the projection of one vector along the other is nul, if a force and the displacement are perpendicular, no work is done.

In our case, the 3 forces mentioned, are perpendicular respect the displacement.

For normal force and gravity, as they act vertically, and the car moves along an horizontal trajectory, both are perpendicular, so no work is done.

For the friction force, as it is the only horizontal force present, it is just the centripetal force that keeps the car moving in a circular path.

It always aims to the center of the circle, along the radius at any point, so it is always perpendicular to the displacement also.

Siska hit a golf ball into the air with an initial velocity of 56 feet per second. The height h in feet of the ball above the gr
olasank [31]
To find the time it takes for the ball to reach the given height, we need an equation that relates the height and time it travel which is given to be <span>h=-16t^{2}+56t. We just substitute the height of 49 feet then solve for t. We do as follows:

</span><span>h=-16t^{2}+56t
49 = </span>-16t^{2}+56t
t = 1.75 seconds

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

In order for the ball to be able to make a complete circle around the peg, there must be sufficient speed at the top of its arc
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let T be the tension in the swing

At top point mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where v=velocity needed to complete circular path

r=distance between point of  rotation to the ball center=L+\frac{d}{2} (d=diameter of ball)

Th-resold velocity is given by mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}

To get the velocity at bottom conserve energy at Top and bottom

At top E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}

Energy at Bottom E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}

Comparing two as energy is conserved

v_0^2=4gr+gr

v_0^2=5gr

v_0=\sqrt{5gr}

v_0=\sqrt{5g\left ( \frac{d}{2}+L\right )}

A crate of oranges is shoved across a grocery store floor with a force of 100 N for a distance of 1 meter. The crate travels an
navik [9.2K]

The statements that are true are;

  • the magnitude of work done by frictional forces on the crate is 100 J
  • the magnitude of work done by the applied force on the crate is 100 J
<h3>What is work done?</h3>

Work is said to be done when te force applied travels a distance in the direction of the force. Now we can see that when the force is applied by shoving the crate, work is done, an additional work is done by friction to bring the crate to a stop.

Hence, the following are true;

  • the magnitude of work done by frictional forces on the crate is 100 J
  • the magnitude of work done by the applied force on the crate is 100 J

A dvd drive has a maximum speed of 72000 revolutions per minute. if a dvd has a diamter of 12 what is the linear speed
Brilliant_brown [7]
The question isn't clear enough, I think it ask us to calculate the linear speed of a point at the edge of the DVD.
Now let's imagine we're a point at the edge of the DVD, we're undergoing a circular motion. Each minute we will complete a circular track 7200 times, now we need to know the distance we travel each turn. The perimeter of the DVD, a circular object is:
P=2\pi.R
Know recall that:
v=\frac{d}{t}
We now need to know how much distance is traveled during a minute or 60 seconds:
D=7200\times 2\pi\times R
Finally we divide this result with t=60 seconds:
v=\frac{7200\times2\pi\times R}{60}&#10;\\&#10;R=\frac{12}{2}=6&#10;
v\approx 4523.89 \frac{units}{second}
Where the distance units were named units as the length unit is not specified in this exercise.<span />

Scientists are making plans to put a probe in orbit around Earth. They want the probe to enter the orbit shown below.
iris [78.8K]

An arrow which shows the direction that the probe should be moving in order for it to enter the orbit is X.

<h3>What is an orbit?</h3>

An orbit can be defined as the curved path through which a astronomical (celestial) object such as planet Earth, in space move around a Moon, Sun, planet or star.

In this scenario, if the scientists want the probe to enter the orbit they should ensure that probe moves in direction X. This ultimately implies that, the probe must move in the same direction as the orbit, in order to enter it.
