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:

Explanation:

The path length difference = extra distance traveled

The destructive interference condition is:

\Delta d = (m+1/2)\lambda

where m =0,1, 2,3........

So, ←

\Delta d = (m+1/2)\lamb da9/tex]so [tex]\Delta d = \frac{\lambda}{2}

⇒ λ = 2Δd = 2×10 = 20

Sam is playing football. She kicks the ball with an average force of 75 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

22.5J

Explanation:

Here the force is given. Also, the displacement is given as 30cm.

First we should check if all the values are in their standard form.

Here 30cm should be converted to metre by dividing it with 100.

Which would give us 0.3m

Now we use the equation W=force x displacement =75 x 0.3=22.5J

I hope this satisfies you. If u have any further questions please let me know.

I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.

From a set of graphed data the slope of the best fit line is found to be 1.35 m/s and the slope of the worst fit line is 1.29m/s
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Solution:

Let the slope of the best fit line be represented by 'm_{best}'

and the slope of the worst fit line be represented by 'm_{worst}'

Given that:

m_{best} = 1.35 m/s

m_{worst} = 1.29 m/s

Then the uncertainity in the slope of the line is given by the formula:

\Delta m = \frac{m_{best}-m_{worst}}{2}               (1)

Substituting values in eqn (1), we get

\Delta m = \frac{1.35 - 1.29}{2} = 0.03 m/s

Why are there only two elements in the first period of the periodic table?(1 point)
tester [92]

Answer:

because each row increases in atomic mass by a specific number, so anything over five is in the second row.
