4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane m=1400\ kg

distance moved d=40\ m

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

W_T=T\cdot d

W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40

W_T=548.8\ KJ

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

W_T+W_g=0

W_g=-548.8\ KJ

When point charges q = +8.4 uC and q2 = +5.6 uC are brought near each other, each experiences a repulsive force of magnitude 0.6
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

it is separated by 80 cm distance

Explanation:

As per Coulombs law we know that force between two point charges is given by

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1 = +8.4\mu C

q_2 = +5.6 \mu C

force between two charges is given as

F = 0.66 N

now we have

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

0.66 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(8.4 \mu C)(5.6 \mu C)}{r^2}

r = 0.8 m

so it is separated by 80 cm distance

A box is placed on a 30o frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline
balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>2.78m/s²</em>

Explanation:

Complete question:

<em>A box is placed on a 30° frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline when the co-efficient of friction is 0.25?</em>

According to Newton's second law of motion:

\sum F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin\theta - \mu mg cos\theta = ma_x\\gsin\theta - \mu g cos\theta = a_x\\

Where:

\mu is the coefficient of friction

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Fm is the moving force acting on the body

Ff is the frictional force

m is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration'

Given

\theta = 30^0\\\mu = 0.25\\g = 9.8m/s^2

Required

acceleration of the box

Substitute the given parameters into the resulting expression above:

Recall that:

gsin\theta - \mu g cos\theta = a_x\\

9.8sin30 - 0.25(9.8)cos30 = ax

9.8(0.5) - 0.25(9.8)(0.866) = ax

4.9 - 2.1217 = ax

ax = 2.78m/s²

<em>Hence the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline is 2.78m/s²</em>
