So you can use the equation force = mass x acceleration to do 2 x 5 to get 10 N
a. We can calculate the amount of work by calculating the area under the graph.
first area (rectangular): 2.5 x 6 = 15
second area(trapezoid): 1/2 x (6+10) x 2.5 =20
total work done: 35 J
b. the force was first applied = 6 N
F = m.a
a = 6 : 3 = 2 m/s²
vf²=vi²+2as
vf²=6²+2.2.5
vf²=56
vf=7.5 m/s
-- The resistance of the heater is (volts/current) = 5 ohms
-- The heating (RMS) value of a sinusoidal AC is V(peak)/√2 . For this particular alternator, V(peak)=100V, so the heating (RMS) equivalent is 70.71 V.
-- The heating power delivered to the electric heater is (E²/R).
Power = (100/√2)² / 5
Power = 5,000 / 5
<u>Power = 1,000 watts </u>
