Answer:

W = y (b-a) / ab

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

W = ∫ F. dr

In this case the force is in the same direction of displacement, so the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product

W = ∫ F dr

The expression of the strength left is

F = -y / x²

let's replace and integrate

W = ∫ (-y / x²) dx

W = -y (-1 / x)

We evaluate between the lower limit x = b + a to the upper limit x = 0 + a

W = -y (-1 / b + 1 / a)

W = y (b-a) / ab

where (b-a) is the distance traveled

The 4.0 -kg head of an ax is moving at 3 m/s when it strikes a log and penetrates 0.01m into the log. What is the average force
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ax head, m = 4 kg

speed of the ax, v = 3 m/s

depth traveled into the log, d = 0.01 m

The time to traveled through the depth;

s = (\frac{u+v}{2} )t\\\\0.01 =  (\frac{0+3}{2} )t\\\\0.01 = 1.5t\\\\t = \frac{0.01}{1.5} \\\\t = 0.0067 \ s

The average force the blade exerts on the log;

F = ma=\frac{mv}{t} = \frac{4 \times 3}{0.0067} = 1791.05 \ N \\\\

Therefore, the average force the blade exerts on the log is 1791.05 N.

A 4.4 kg mess kit sliding on a frictionless surface explodes into two 2.2 kg parts, one moving at 2.9 m/s, due north, and the ot
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Let the initial velocity be v.

Initial momentum = 4.4 x v = 4.4v

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 2.9 m/s, due north = 2.9 j m/s

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 6.8 m/s, 35° north of east = 6.9 ( cos 35i + sin35 j ) = 5.62 i + 3.96 j m/s

Final momentum = 2.2 x 2.9 j + 2.2 x (5.62 i + 3.96 j) = 12.364 i + 15.092 j kgm/s

We have

         Initial momentum = Final momentum

         4.4v = 12.364 i + 15.092 j

         v =2.81 i + 3.43 j

Magnitude

        v=\sqrt{2.81^2+3.43^2}=4.43m/s

Direction

       \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3.43}{2.81}\right )=50.67^0

       50.67° north of east.

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.
