You are given the mass of the book with an initial height of 0.77m. You are also given the final height of the book, 2m above the floor. The problem requires you to find the work done on the book. It is said that work is equal to force times distance. And that force is equal to mass times acceleration due to gravity.
W=Fd
W=mgd=mgh
W=(1.7kg)(9.8m/s^2)(2m-0.77m)
W=20.49J
<span>The work is equal to 20.49J.</span>

A 230 kg steel crate is being pushed along a cement floor. The force of friction is 480 N to the left and the applied force is 1
tamaranim1 [39]
The acceleration would be 6m/sThis is because of the formula, "f/m=a" to find the acceleration; We would need to subtract the force of the friction which equals 1380, then divide that by the mass (which was 230) to get the answer 6

An object is in simple harmonic motion. Find an equation for the motion given that the frequency is 3⁄π and at time t = 0, y = 0
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: y(t)= 1/π^2 sin(6*π^2*t)

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the general expression for a harmonic movement given by:

y(t)= A*sin (ω*t +φo) where ω is the angular frequency. A is the amplitude.

The data are: ν= 3π; y(t=0)=0 and y'(0)=6.

Firstly we know that 2πν=ω then ω=6*π^2

Then, we have y(0)=0=A*sin (6*π^2*0+φo)= A sin (φo)=0 then φo=0

Besides y'(t)=6*π^2*A*cos (6*π^2*t)

y'(0)=6=6*π^2*A*cos (6*π^2*0)

6=6*π^2*A then A= 1/π^2

Finally the equation is:

y(t)= 1/π^2 sin(6*π^2*t)

The 25-mph zone is 150 yards long. How much time did the student save (in seconds) by speeding past the school
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Time = 12.27seconds

Explanation:

Given

Speed = 25miles/hour

Distance = 150 yards = 150(0.000568182)miles

Distance (in miles) = 0.0852273miles

Get the time

Speed = Distance/Time

Time = Distance/Speed

Time = 0.0852273/25

Time = 0.0034hours

Time = 0.0034 * 3600secs

Time = 12.27seconds

9. A car driver brakes gently. Her car slows down front --
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

9) This is a case of deceleration

10)-0.8 ms-2

b) acceleration is the change in velocity with time

11)

a) 100 ms-1

b) 100 seconds

12) 10ms-1

13) more information is needed to answer the question

14) - 0.4 ms^-2

15) 0.8 ms^-2

Explanation:

The deceleration is;

v-u/t

v= final velocity

u= initial velocity

t= time taken

20-60/50 =- 40/50= -0.8 ms-2

11)

Since it starts from rest, u=0 hence

v= u + at

v= 10 ×10

v= 100 ms-1

b)

v= u + at but u=0

1000 = 10 t

t= 1000/10

t= 100 seconds

12) since the sprinter must have started from rest, u= 0

v= u + at

v= 5 × 2

v= 10ms-1

14)

v- u/t

10 - 20/ 25

10/25

=- 0.4 ms^-2

15)

a=v-u/t

From rest, u=0

8 - 0/10

a= 8/10

a= 0.8 ms^-2
