(a) For the work-energy theorem, the work done to lift the can of paint is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by it, therefore it is equal to
where m=3.4 kg is the mass of the can, g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and 
is the variation of height. Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find
(b) In this case, the work done is zero. In fact, we know from its definition that the work done on an object is equal to the product between the force applied F and the displacement:
However, in this case there is no displacement, so d=0 and W=0, therefore the work done to hold the can stationary is zero.
(c) In this case, the work done is negative, because the work to lower the can back to the ground is done by the force of gravity, which pushes downward. Its value is given by the same formula used in part (a):
The correct answer is d) 200 lbs.
Hope that I was of help.
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is their separation
In this problem, the first object has a mass of
, while the second "object" is the Earth, with mass
. The distance of the object from the Earth's center is
; if we substitute these numbers into the equation, we find the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the mass of 0.60 kg:
Answer:
v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt
this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points,
Explanation:
To resolve the debate, it must be shown that the two have part of the reason, the space or distance between the two points divided by time is the average speed between the points.
v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt
this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points, in the only case that it is so is when there is no acceleration.
Therefore neither of them is right.
Answer: Your answer is<u> 1.36.</u>
Hope this helps!
