A worker pushed a 33 kg block 6.1 m along a level floor at constant speed with a force directed 23° below the horizontal. if the

coefficient of kinetic friction between block and floor was 0.20, what were (a) the work done by the worker's force and (b) the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system?

The work done occurs only in the direction the block was moved - horizontally. Work is given by:

W = F(h) * d

Where F(h) is the force applied in that direction (horizontal) and d is the distance in that direction. In this case, F(h) is the horizontal component of the applied force, F(app). However, the question doesn't give us F(app), so we need to find it some other way.

Since the block is moving at a constant speed, we know the horizontal forces must be balanced so that the net force is 0. This means that F(h) must be exactly balanced by the friction force, f. We can express F(h) as a function of F(app):

F(h) = F(app)cos(23)

Friction is a little trickier - since the block is being PUSHED into the ground a bit by the vertical component of the applied force, F(v), the normal force, N, is actually a bit more than mg:

N = mg + F(v) = mg + F(app)sin(23)

Now we can get down to business and solve for F(app) - as mentioned above:

F(h) = f
F(h) = uN
F(h) = u * (mg + F(v))
F(app)cos(23) = 0.20 * (33 * 9.8 + F(app)sin(23))
F(app) = 76.8

Now that we have F(app), we can find the exact value of F(h):

F(h) = F(app)cos(23)
F(h) = 76.8cos(23)
F(h) = 70.7

And now that we have F(h), we can find W:
W = F(h) * d
W = 70.7 * 6.1
W = 431.3

Therefore, the work done by the worker's force is 431.3 J. This also represents the increase in thermal energy of the block-floor system.

Answer:

1. Largest force: C;  smallest force: B; 2. ratio = 9:1

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

F=K\dfrac{ q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where K is the Coulomb constant.

q₁ and q₂ are also identical and constant, so Kq₁q₂ is also constant.

For simplicity, let's combine Kq₁q₂ into a single constant, k.

Then, we can write  

F=\dfrac{k}{r^{2}}

1. Net force on each particle

Let's

  • Call the distance between adjacent charges d.
  • Remember that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

Define forces exerted to the right as positive and those to the left as negative.

(a) Force on A

\begin{array}{rcl}F_{A} & = & F_{B} + F_{C} + F_{D}\\& = & -\dfrac{k}{d^{2}}  - \dfrac{k}{(2d)^{2}}  +\dfrac{k}{(3d)^{2}}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(-1 - \dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{9} \right)\\\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(\dfrac{-36 - 9 + 4}{36} \right)\\\\& = & \mathbf{-\dfrac{41}{36} \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}}\\\\\end{array}

(b) Force on B

\begin{array}{rcl}F_{B} & = & F_{A} + F_{C} + F_{D}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}  - \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}  + \dfrac{k}{(2d)^{2}}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(\dfrac{1}{4} \right)\\\\& = &\mathbf{\dfrac{1}{4} \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}}\\\\\end{array}

(C) Force on C

\begin{array}{rcl}F_{C} & = & F_{A} + F_{B} + F_{D}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{(2d)^{2}} + \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}  + \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left( \dfrac{1}{4} +1 + 1 \right)\\\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(\dfrac{1 + 4 + 4}{4} \right)\\\\& = & \mathbf{\dfrac{9}{4} \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}}\\\\\end{array}

(d) Force on D

\begin{array}{rcl}F_{D} & = & F_{A} + F_{B} + F_{C}\\& = & -\dfrac{k}{(3d)^{2}}  - \dfrac{k}{(2d)^{2}}  - \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left( -\dfrac{1}{9} - \dfrac{1}{4} -1 \right)\\\\& = & \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}\left(\dfrac{-4 - 9 -36}{36} \right)\\\\& = & \mathbf{-\dfrac{49}{36} \dfrac{k}{d^{2}}}\\\\\end{array}

(e) Relative net forces

In comparing net forces, we are interested in their magnitude, not their direction (sign), so we use their absolute values.

F_{A} : F_{B} : F_{C} : F_{D}  =  \dfrac{41}{36} : \dfrac{1}{4} : \dfrac{9}{4} : \dfrac{49}{36}\ = 41 : 9 : 81 : 49\\\\\text{C experiences the largest net force.}\\\text{B experiences the smallest net force.}\\

2. Ratio of largest force to smallest

\dfrac{ F_{C}}{ F_{B}} = \dfrac{81}{9} = \mathbf{9:1}\\\\\text{The ratio of the largest force to the smallest is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{9:1}}$}

A spiracle polish metallic ball is uses a diverging mirror with a focal length of -20 cm a bird 25 cm tall standing 50 cm away L
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

1/f = 1/i + 1/o      thin lens equation

1/i = 1/f - 1/o

i =  o * f / ( o - f) = 50 * (-20) / (50 - (-20)) = -14.3 cm

The final image is  erect and 14.3 cm behind the curved surface

M = -o / i = 14.3 / 50 = .29      magnificaton of object

S = .29 * 25 cm = 7.1 cm       appearance of bird in mirror (height)

Convert 15 joule into erg.​
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

<h2><u>Joule</u><u>:</u></h2>

1 Joule of work is said to be done when a force of 1 Newton is applied to move/displace a body by 1 metre.

1 Joule= 1 Newton × 1 metre

1 Newton is the amount of force required to accelerate body of mass 1 kg by 1m/s²

So units of N is kgm/s²

So,

1 Joule

=1kgm/s² × m

=1kgm²/s²

<h2><u>Erg</u><u>:</u></h2>

1 erg is the amount of work done by a force of 1 dyne exerted for a distance of one centimetre.

1 Erg =1 Dyne × 1 cm

1 dyne is the force required to cause a mass of 1 gram to accelerate at a rate of 1cm/s².

1 Erg=1 gmcm/s² × cm

1 Erg=1 gmcm/s² × cm=1gmcm²/s²

this is what you need to convert 1gmcm²/s² to 1kgm²/s²

<h3><u>what you need to know for conversion</u></h3>

[1gm=0.001kg

1cm²

=1cm ×1cm

=0.01 m × 0.01 m

=0.0001m²

second remains constant

]

So,

1gmcm²/s²

=0.001kg×0.0001m²/s²

=0.001kg×0.0001m²/s² =0.0000001kgm²/s²

Hence,

<h3><u>1 Erg</u><u>=</u><u>0.0000001</u><u> </u><u>Joule</u></h3><h3><u>1</u><u> </u><u>Joule</u><u>=</u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>,</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>,</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>Erg</u></h3>

<h2>⇒15 J=15×10000000 Erg</h2><h2> =150000000 Erg</h2><h2> =1.5×10⁶ Erg</h2>
