(a) the work done by the applied force,
(b) the increase in internal energy in the box–floor system as a result of friction,
(c) the work done by the normal force,
(d) the work done by the gravitational force,
(e) the change in kinetic energy of the box, and
(f) the final speed of the box.

Answer:

(a) W = 650J

(b) Wf = 529.2J

(c) W = 0J

(d) W = 0J

(e) ΔK = 120.8J

(f) v2 = 2.58 m/s

Explanation:

(a) In order to find the work done by the applied force you use the following formula:

W=Fd      (1)

F: applied force = 130N

d: distance = 5.0m

W=(130N)(5.0m)=650J

The work done by the applied force is 650J

(b) The increase in the internal energy of the box-floor system is given by the work done of the friction force, which is calculated as follow:

W_f=F_fd=\mu Mgd       (2)

μ: coefficient of friction = 0.300

M: mass of the box = 36.0kg

g: gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s^2

W_f=(0.300)(36.0kg)(9.8m/s^2)(5.0m)=529.2J

The increase in the internal energy is 529.2J

(c) The normal force does not make work on the box because the normal force is perpendicular to the motion of the box.

W = 0J

(d) The same for the work done by the normal force. The work done by the gravitational force is zero because the motion of the box is perpendicular o the direction of the gravitational force.

(e) The change in the kinetic energy is given by the net work on the box. You use the following formula:

\Delta K=W_T         (3)

You calculate the total work:

W_T=Fd-F_fd=(F-F_f)d     (4)

F: applied force = 130N

Ff: friction force

d: distance = 5.00m

The friction force is:

F_f=(0.300)(36.0kg)(9.8m/s^2)=105.84N

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in the equation (4):

W_T=(130N-105.84N)(5.00m)=120.80J

\Delta K=120.80J

The change in the kinetic energy of the box is 120.8J

(e) The final speed of the box is calculated by using the equation (3):

W_T=\frac{1}{2}M(v_2^2-v_1^2)       (5)

v2: final speed of the box

v1: initial speed of the box = 0 m/s

You solve the equation (5) for v2:

v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2W_T}{M}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(120.8J)}{36.0kg}}=2.58\frac{m}{s}

The final speed of the box is 2.58m/s

A point charge A of charge +4micro coloumb and another B of -1 micro coloumb are placed at a distance in air 1m apart then the d
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

A point charge is placed between two charges

Q1 = 4 μC

Q2 = -1 μC

Distance between the two charges is 1m

We want to find the point when the electric field will be zero.

Electric field can be calculated using

E = kQ/r²

Let the point charge be at a distance x from the first charge Q1, then, it will be at 1 -x from the second charge.

Then, the magnitude of the electric at point x is zero.

E = kQ1 / r² + kQ2 / r²

0 = kQ1 / x²  - kQ2 / (1-x)²

kQ1 / x² = kQ2 / (1-x)²

Divide through by k

Q1 / x² = Q2 / (1-x)²

4μ / x² = 1μ / (1 - x)²

Divide through by μ

4 / x² = 1 / (1-x)²

Cross multiply

4(1-x)² = x²

4(1-2x+x²) = x²

4 - 8x + 4x² = x²

4x² - 8x + 4 - x² = 0

3x² - 8x + 4 = 0

Check attachment for solution of quadratic equation

We found that,

x = 2m or x = ⅔m

So, the electric field will be zero if placed ⅔m from point charge A, OR ⅓m from point charge B.

A ship 1200m off shore fires a gun. how long after the gun is fired will it be heard on the shore?​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

We know that the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air

we are also given the distance of the boat from the shore

From the provided data, we can easily find the time taken by the sound to reach the shore using the second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 at²

since the acceleration of sound is 0:

s = ut + 1/2 (0)t²

s = ut    <em>(here, u is the speed of sound , s is the distance travelled and t is the time taken)</em>

Replacing the variables in the equation with the values we know

1200 = 343 * t

t = 1200 / 343

t = 3.5 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the sound of the gun will be heard at the shore, 3.5 seconds after being fired

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet
vampirchik [111]
Planet A;
m = the mass 
Let r =  the radius 

Planet B:
Let M =  the mass
The radius is 2r (twice the radius of planet A)

The surface gravitational acceleration of planets A and B (they have the same surface gravity) are
g= \frac{Gm}{r^{2}} \, and \, g= \frac{GM}{(2r)^{2}} \\\\ m= \frac{M}{4} \\\\ M=4m

Answer: The mass of planet B is 4m.
