If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the in

The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answer and explanation is provided below.

Question:

A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.

What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?  

If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?

Given Information:  

Mass = m = 0.5 kg

Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m

Normal force = Fn = 1 N

Required Information:  

Potential energy = PE = ?

Work done = W = ?

Answer:

Potential energy = 0.343 Joules

Work done = 0.39 N.m

Explanation:

The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.

PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07

PE = 0.343 Joules

As you can see in the attached image

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

sinθ = 0.07/0.4

θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)

θ = 10.078°

The horizontal component of the normal force is given by

Fx = Fncos(θ)

Fx = 1*cos(10.078)

Fx = 0.984 N

Work done is given by

W = Fxd

where d is the horizontal distance

W = 0.984*0.4

W = 0.39 N.m

Use the diagram to answer each question.
valentina_108 [34]

Figure A shows cross section of a land form or rock. In Figure B, compression stress is applied on it. When compression stresses are applied on a rock, it squeezes the rock cause fold or fracture. The fault formed by compression stress is called thrust fault. If the compression stresses/ force continue to act on a rock it will converge and form thrust fault. In Figure C, tension stresses is applied on the rock. When a tension stress applied on a rock it deforms/ lengthen. There are three type of deformations occur due to tension stresses. One is elastic deformation, in which, rock retains it original shape when force/stresses are removed. Second is plastic deformation, in which rock lengthen and change occur permanently. Third type of deformation is result into fracture or breaking of rock. In Figure C, shear stresses are applied on rock. Shear stresses are applied with equal magnitude but in opposite direction. It cause breaking of rock.

A certain material has a mass of 565 g while occupying 50 cm3 of space. What is this material?
EastWind [94]

<u>Answer:</u>

Lead

<u>Explanation:</u>

To get the density of the material, the formula would be:

mass divided by volume which is given by d = \frac { m } { v }.

Here in this problem, we are given a mass of 565 g which occupies a volume of 50 cm^3.

So plugging the data in the above formula to find the density:

Density = \frac { 565 } { 50 } = 11.3

From the table, we can see that the material is Lead which has a density of 11.3c/cm^3.

A small sphere with mass m is attached to a massless rod of length L that is pivoted at the top, forming a simple pendulum. The
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a) see attached, a = g sin θ

b)

c)   v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))

Explanation:

In the attached we can see the forces on the sphere, which are the attention of the bar that is perpendicular to the movement and the weight of the sphere that is vertical at all times. To solve this problem, a reference system is created with one axis parallel to the bar and the other perpendicular to the rod, the weight of decomposing in this reference system and the linear acceleration is given by

          Wₓ = m a

          W sin θ = m a

          a = g sin θ

b) The diagram is the same, the only thing that changes is the angle that is less

                θ' = 9/2  θ

             

c) At this point the weight and the force of the bar are in the same line of action, so that at linear acceleration it is zero, even when the pendulum has velocity v, so it follows its path.

The easiest way to find linear speed is to use conservation of energy

Highest point

            Em₀ = mg h = mg L (1-cos tea)

Lowest point

          Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          g L (1-cos θ) = v² / 2

              v = √(2gL (1-cos θ))
