Given:

s(distance)= 20 meters

F(force)=200N

Now we know that

work done= Force applied x distance

Substituting the given values in the above formula we get

Work done= 20 x 200= 4000J

A car is strapped to a rocket (combined mass = 661 kg), and its kinetic energy is 66,120 J.

labwork [276]

Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

Therefore we can write:

$W=K_f -K_i$

where in this case:

W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)

$K_i = 66,120 J$ is the initial kinetic energy of the car

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy

Solving,

$K_f = K_i + W=66,120+(-36,733)=29387 J$

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m = 661 kg is its mass

v is its final speed

Solving for v,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s$

Consider a loop of wire with a resistor. In the same plane, (with switch S closed) a long wire has a current I flowing from left

Ulleksa [173]

Solution :

The given figure is a loop of a wire with a resistor.

When the switch S is closed for long time and is suddenly opened, the direction of the induced current can be find out by using the rule of right hand screw. According to the right hand screw rule, the direction of the magnetic field at the loop is in the direction that points outwards. The strength of the current rapidly decreases as it is switch off and the magnetic flux that is linked with the loop wire will also decrease.

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current must be such $\text{that it opposes}$ the decrease in the magnetic flux. It means the direction of the magnetic field must be outwards and also normal to the plane of the screen. The direction of the induced anti clockwise or from right to left in the resistance.
