Answer:

The work is done by the truck pulling the car 1 km is 1,212,436 J

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force that is applied on a body to move it from one point to another. When a force is applied, an energy transfer occurs. Then it can be said that work is energy in motion.

So work is one of the forms of energy transmission between bodies. To perform a job, you must exert a force on a body and it moves.

In the International System of Units, work is measured in Joule. A Joule is the work that a constant force of 1 Newton does on a body that moves 1 meter in the same direction and direction as the force. Then, Joule is equivalent to Newton per meter.

The work is equal to the product of the force by the distance and by the cosine of the angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction that travels the point or the object that moves:

Work= Force*Distante* cos (θ)

In this case:

  • Force= 1,400 N= 1,400 kg*\frac{m}{s^{2} }
  • Distance= 1 km= 1,000 m
  • θ= Angle that exists between the direction of the force and the direction= 30°

Replacing:

Work= 1,400 N* 1,000 m* cos (30°)

Work= 1,212,435. 565 Joule≅ 1,212,436 J

<u><em> The work is done by the truck pulling the car 1 km is 1,212,436 J</em></u>

What is the velocity of an 80 kg person skating across the ice with a kinetic energy of 16, 000 joules?
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

V = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 80kg

Kinetic energy = 16,000 joules

To find the velocity;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

16000 = ½*80*V²

16000 = 40V²

V² = 16000/40

V² = 400

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

V = 20 m/s

A car is traveling at 24.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

              vf² = vo²  + 2ad

For d =100m

            a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

            a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

            a = -576/200

             a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

        vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

        vf² = 576 - 345.6

        vf² = 230.4

        vf = 15.18 m/s
