How much work is done when you push a crate horizontally with 150 N across a 13-m floor

1 answer:

6 0

Work = (force) x (distance)

When a force of 150 N pushes through a distance of 13 meters,
it does

Work = (150 N) x (13 m) = 1,950 joules .

A glider with mass m = 0.230 kg sits on a frictionless horizontal air track, connected to a spring with force constant k = 4.50

loris [4]

Answer

given,

mass of glider = 0.23 Kg

spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m

spring stretched to 0.130 m

The springs potential energy =

$U = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$U = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4.5 \times 0.13^2$

U = 0.038 J

at x = 0,the only energy will be kinetic .

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=0.038$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.23 \times v^2=0.038$

v² = 0.3304

v = 0.575 m/s

displacement of the glider

using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

$x =v\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}$

$x =3\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.23}{4.5}}$

x = 0.678 m

The speed of light in air is 3 x 108 m/s. The speed of light in ice is 2.29 x 108 m/s. What is the refractive index from air to

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

η = 1.31

Explanation:

The formula for the refractive index of from air to some other medium is given by the following formula:

$\eta = \frac{c}{v}\\$

where,

η = refractive index = ?

c = speed of light in air = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = speed of light in ice = 2.29 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore, using these values in the equation we get:

$\eta = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{2.29\ x\ 10^8\ m/s} \\$

Why would you expect sodium (Na) to react strongly with chlorine (Cl)?

Snowcat [4.5K]

3. is the answer, <span>Sodium needs to lose one electron, and chlorine needs to gain one electron. This is because Sodium's row always wants to give away an electron, while Chlorine's row wants to gain an electron.</span>

Radiation from the Sun The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. T

Zina [86]

a) Total power output: $3.845\cdot 10^{26} W$

b) The relative percentage change of power output is 1.67%

c) The intensity of the radiation on Mars is $540 W/m^2$

Explanation:

The intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given by

$I=\frac{P}{A}$

where

P is the power output

A is the surface area considered

In this problem, we have

$I=1360 W/m^2$ is the intensity of the solar radiation at the Earth

The area to be considered is area of a sphere of radius

$r=1.5\cdot 10^{11} m$ (distance Earth-Sun)

Therefore

$A=4\pi r^2 = 4 \pi (1.5\cdot 10^{11})^2=2.8\cdot 10^{23}m^2$

And now, using the first equation, we can find the total power output of the Sun:

$P=IA=(1360)(2.8\cdot 10^{23})=3.845\cdot 10^{26} W$

The energy of the solar radiation is directly proportional to its frequency, given the relationship

$E=hf$

where E is the energy, h is the Planck's constant, f is the frequency.

Also, the power output of the Sun is directly proportional to the energy,

$P=\frac{E}{t}$

where t is the time.

This means that the power output is proportional to the frequency:

$P\propto f$

Here the frequency increases by 1 MHz: the original frequency was

$f_0 = 60 MHz$

so the relative percentage change in frequency is

$\frac{\Delta f}{f_0}\cdot 100 = \frac{1}{60}\cdot 100 =1.67\%$

And therefore, the power also increases by 1.67 %.

In this second case, we have to calculate the new power output of the Sun:

$P' = P + \frac{1.67}{100}P =1.167P=1.0167(3.845\cdot 10^{26})=3.910\cdot 10^{26} W$

Now we want to calculate the intensity of the radiation measured on Mars. Mars is 60% farther from the Sun than the Earth, so its distance from the Sun is

$r'=(1+0.60)r=1.60r=1.60(1.5\cdot 10^{11})=2.4\cdot 10^{11}m$
