<span>The person is dragging with a force of 58 lbs at an angle of 27 degrees relating to the ground. We want to use cosine function to look for the horizontal force component. And then we can compute for W = (Horizontal Force) x (Distance). We want the horizontal force component since that is the component that is parallel to the direction the cart is moving. </span><span>

(cos 27 degrees)(58 lbs) = 51.69 lbs (This is the horizontal force component.) 
W = (51.69 lbs) x (70 ft) = 3618.3 ft*lbs</span>

A. power plants burn coal. A fossil-fuel power plant is one that burns fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity.

b. Fossil fuels are called so because they have been derived from fossils, which were formed millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaurs. They are fossilized organic remains that over millions of years have been converted to oil, gas, and coal.

C. they are generally classified as non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are generated.

a. Gravitational potential energy and work done
If an object is lifted, work is done against the force of gravity.
When work is done energy is transferred to the object and it gains gravitational potential energy.
If the object falls from that height, the same amount of work would have to be done by the force of gravity to bring it back to the Earth’s surface.
If an object at a certain height has 2000 J of gravitational potential energy, we can say that:
2000 J of work has been done in getting the object to that height from the ground
and
2000 J of work would have to be done to bring it back to the ground.

Anna applies a force of 19.5 newtons to push a book placed on a table. If the normal force of the book is 51.7 newtons, what is
andrey2020 [161]
Considering that the book is moving with constant speed, the force applied by Anna must be the same that the friction force:

F = F_R = F\cdot \mu_k\cdot N

If we clear the previous equation:

\mu_k = \frac{F}{F_R} = \frac{19.5\ N}{51.7\ N} = \bf 0.38
