Answer:

Work done, W = 0

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the object, m = 10 kg

Distance covered by the person, d = 100 m

Speed of the person, v = 2 m/s

We need to find the work done by this person. We know that the product of force and distance is equal to the work done by the person. Mathematically,

W=F\times d

W=m\times a\times d    

Since, the acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity. Here, the person is moving the mass with a constant velocity. So, there is no change in velocity, a = 0

As a result, the work done by the person is 0 J. So, the correct option is (c). Hence, this is the required solution.

Since the direction of the force and the direction of the path is perpendicular, the person is not doing any physical work.

A kite is 100m above the ground. if there are 200m of string out what is the angle between the string and the horizontal? (assum
jeka57 [31]

Answer :  The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation:  Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now  sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

                             =  100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees

In an elastic collision, a 580 kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling
kozerog [31]

Answer:  vl = 2.75 m/s vt = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

If we assume that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.

If both cars are identical and also the drivers have the same mass, we can write the following:

m (vi1 + vi2) = m (vf1 + vf2) (1)

The sum of the initial speeds must be equal to the sum of the final ones.

If we are told that kinetic energy must be conserved also, simplifying, we can write:

vi1² + vi2² = vf1² + vf2² (2)

The only condition that satisfies  (1) and (2) simultaneously is the one in which both masses exchange speeds, so we can write:

vf1 = vi2 and vf2 = vi1

If we call v1 to the speed of the leading car, and v2 to the trailing one, we can finally put the following:

vf1 = 2.75 m/s  vf2 = 1.5 m/s
