A person pulls a crate of mass M = 63 kg a distance 40.0 m along a horizontal floor by a constant force FP = 130 N, which acts a
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Check attachment for solution and diagrams

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of crate m=63kg

Distance travelled d=40m

Horizontal force Fx=130N

Angle the force applied on cord makes with horizontal is θ=23°.

The weight of the crate is given by

W=mg

W=63×9.81

W=618.03N

Horizontal force Fx=130N

Resolving the applied Force F to the horizontal will give

Fx=FCos θ

F=Fx/Cos θ

F=130/Cos23

F=141.2N

a. Check attachment for model diagram

b. Check attachment for free body diagram

c. Check attachment for pictorial representation

d. Work done by gravitational force.

We, know that the body did not move upward, then the distance d=0

Work done is given as

W=F×d

So, d=0

W=F×0

W=0J

So, no work is done by gravity

e. Normal force?

Using newton law of motion

ΣFy = may

Since the body is not moving upward, then ay=0m/s²

N+141.2Sin23-618.03=0

N=618.03-141.2Sin23

N=562.86N

f. Work done by normal force.

The body is not moving upward, then the distance is zero

d=0

Work done by normal=normal force × distance

Wn=562.86×0

Wn=0J

No work is done by the normal force

g. Frictional force?

Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is zero, then the surface is frictionless

So, no frictional force is acting on the body

Fictional force is given as

Fr=μk•N

Given that, μk=0

Fr=0×562.86

Fr=0N

d. Work done by frictional force?

Since the frictional force Is zero, then, no work is done by friction

W(friction ) = frictional force × d

Here, the body moved a distance of 40m

W(fr)=0×40

W(fr)=0J

No work is done by friction

I. Work done by exerted force

The horizontal component of the exerted force is 130N and the body traveled a distance of 40m

Then, work done is given as

Workdone=force ×distance

Work done=130×40

W=5200J

W=5.2KJ

h. Net workdone?

Since no work is lost by friction, then, the net work done is equal to the work done by the exerted force.

Went, = work done by force exerted - work done by friction

Wnet=5200-0

Wnet, =5200

Wnet=5.2KJ

A stone is dropped into a river from a bridge 41.7 m above the water. Another stone is thrown vertically down 1.80 s after the f
hram777 [196]

Answer:

31.75 m/s

Explanation:

h = 41.7 m

Let the initial velocity of the second stone is u

Let the time taken to reach to the bottom by the first stone is t then the time taken by the second stone to reach the ground is t - 1.8.

For first stone:

Use second equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here, u = 0, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and t be the time and h = 41.7

So, 41.7= 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

41.7 = 4.9 t^2

t = 2.92 s ..... (1)

For second stone:

Use second equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Here, g = 9.8 m/s^2 and time taken is t - 1.8 = 2.92 - 1.8 = 1.12 s, h = 41.7 m and u be the initial velocity

h=u\left ( t-1.8 \right )+4.9\left ( t-1.8 \right )^2    .... (2)

By equation the equation (1) and (2), we get

41.7=1.12 u +4.9 \times 1.12^{2}

u = 31.75 m/s
