Answer: B velocity

Explanation:

Acceleration = Velocity difference / time

Acceleration is a vector it can be happened due to forces of the system. If there is no external force acting on a system. There are no acceleration. If velocity is increasing due to Force its called acceleration If velocity is decreasing its called deceleration

The tension in the rope is constant and equal to 40 N as the block is pulled. What is the instantaneous power (in W) supplied by

Eduardwww [97]

Complete Question:

A 10 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a rope that is oriented at 60° relative to the horizontal surface.

The tension in the rope is constant and equal to 40 N as the block is pulled. What is the instantaneous power (in W) supplied by the tension in the rope if the block when the block is 5 m away from its starting point? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is 0.2 and you may assume that the block starting at rest.

Answer:

Power = 54.07 W

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 10 kg

Angle made with the horizontal, θ = 60°

Distance covered, d = 5 m

Tension in the rope, T = 40 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu = 0.2$

Let the Normal reaction = N

The weight of the block acting downwards = mg

The vertical resolution of the 40 N force, $f_{y} = 40sin \theta$

$\sum f(y) = 0$

$N + 40 sin \theta - mg = 0\\N = -40sin60 + 10*9.81 = 0\\N = 63.46 N$

$\sum f(x) = 0$

$40 cos 60 - f_{r} - ma = 0\\ f_{r} = \mu N\\ f_{r} = 0.2 * 63.46\\ f_{r} = 12.69 N\\40cos 60 - 12.69-10a = 0\\7.31 = 10a\\a = 0.731 m/s^{2}$

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as\\u = 0 m/s\\v^{2} = 2 * 0.731 * 5\\v^{2} = 7.31\\v = \sqrt{7.31} \\v = 2.704 m/s$

Power, $P = Fvcos \theta$

$P = 40 *2.704 cos60\\P = 54.074 W$

A bowling ball of mass 5 kg rolls down a slick ramp 20 meters long at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. What is the work done

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The work done by gravity during the roll is 490.6 J

Explanation:

The work (W) is:

$W = F*d$

<em>Where</em>:

F: is the force

d: is the displacement = 20 m

The force is equal to the weight (W) in the x component:

$F = W_{x} = mgsin(\theta)$

<em>Where:</em>

m: is the mass of the bowling ball = 5 kg

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

θ: is the degree angle to the horizontal = 30°

$F = mgsin(\theta) = 5 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}*sin(30) = 24.53 N$

Now, we can find the work:

$W = F*d = 24.53 N*20 m = 490.6 J$

Therefore, the work done by gravity during the roll is 490.6 J.

I hope it helps you!

Why does a projectile fired along a horizontal not follow a straight path?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer: A projectile which is fired horizontally is being constantly acted upon by acceleration due to gravity, acting vertically downwards. Hence, it does not follow a straight line path. Also Why a projectile fixed along the horizontal not follow a straight line path? Because the projectile fired horizontally is constantly acts upon by acceleration due to gravity acting vertically downwards.

Explanation:

Hope this helped :)
