A. The work done by the gravity is zero joules.
B. The tension force does positive work.
C. The net work done by the two forces is zero joules.

Answer:

C. The net work done by the two forces is zero joules.

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the product of force F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force.  

W= F*d Formula ( 1)

The work is positive (W+) if the force has the same direction of movement of the object.  

The work is negative (W-) if the force has the opposite direction of the movement of the object.

The component of the force that performs work must be parallel to the displacement.  

Calculation of the forces

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

∑F = m*a  

a = 0 because the elevator moves at constant speed.

∑F=0

T-W = 0

T = W  

Calculation of work done by the forces

W₁ :  work done by the gravity= (+ W*d ) J

W₂ : work done by the tension force=( -T*d) J

Net work done by the two forces(W₁-W₂):

W₁= W₂ .because T = W  

W₁-W₂ =0

A 23.0 kg iron weightlifting plate has a volume of 2920 cm3 . what is the density of the iron plate in g/cm3?
yanalaym [24]
The first thing you should know for this case is that density is defined as the quotient between mass and volume:
 D = M / V
 In addition, you should keep in mind the following conversion:
 1Kg = 1000g
 Substituting the values we have:
 D = (23.0 * 1000) / (2920) = 7.88 g / cm ^ 3
 answer
 the density of the iron plate is 7.88 g / cm ^ 3

You hold a bucket in one hand. In the bucket is a 500 g rock. You swing the bucket so the rock moves in a vertical circle 2.2 m
slavikrds [6]

Answer:v=3.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of rock m=500 gm

diameter of circle d=2.2 m

radius r=\frac{2.2}{2}=1.1 m

At highest Point

mg+N=\frac{mv^2}{r}

At highest Point N=0 because mass is just balanced by centripetal Force

thus mg=\frac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{gr}

v=\sqrt{9.8\times 1.1}

v=\sqrt{10.78}

v=3.28 m/s

NeX [460]
Average acceleration  =  (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Average acceleration  =  (13.2 - 6) / (6.32) = 7.2 / 6.32 = about  <em>1.139... m/s²</em> .
