When a forklift raises an object, is it doing positive or negative work on the object? Which type of work is the

Physics
1 answer:
saul85 [17]3 years ago
6 0
The answer:

-> When the forklift raises an object, it is doing positive work. This is because electrical energy is converted in to kinetic energy that is required for the forklift to raise the object.

-> However the resultant force of the object reacts on to the forklift, causing force of drag. This slightly weighs the forklift downwards due to how much mass the object weighs.

The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo
hram777 [196]

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

W-N=0 (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

N=W=14,700 N

What's the minimum Out PUT WORK<br> required to raise 14,0m3 of water 26.0m?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

3.57 MJ

Explanation:

ASSUMING it's fresh water with density of 1000 kg/m³

W = ΔPE = mgΔh = 14.0(1000)(9.81)(26.0) = 3,570,840 J

Salt water would require more.

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".

A boat race runs along a triangular course marked by buoys A, B, and C. The race starts with the boats headed west for 3700 mete
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The  last two bearings are

49.50° and 104.02°

Explanation:

Applying the Law of cosine (refer to the figure attached):

we have

x² = y² + z² - 2yz × cosX

here,

x, y and z represents the lengths of sides opposite to the angels X,Y and Z.

Thus we have,

cos X=\frac{x^2-y^2-z^2}{-2yz}

or

cos X=\frac{y^2 + z^2-x^2}{2yz}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

cos X=\frac{2900^2 + 3700^2-1700^2}{2\times 2900\times 3700}

or

cos X=0.8951

or

X = 26.47°

similarly,

cos Y=\frac{1700^2 + 3700^2-2900^2}{2\times 1700\times 3700}

or

cos Y=0.649

or

Y = 49.50°

Consequently, the angel Z = 180° - 49.50 - 26.47 = 104.02°

The bearing of 2 last legs of race are angels Y and Z.
