Answer:

400 J

Explanation:

Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object.

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object

W = F * d

here the man has to work against the gravitational field. (against his weight)

F =100 N

Work done = F * d

= 100 * 4

= 400 J

Answer:

The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.

Explanation:

This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery

Answer:

$v_{B0}=15.73 m/s$

Explanation:

We can use the conservation of momentum. The initial momentum is equal to the final momentum:

x-coordinate

$p_{0x}=p_{fx}$

$m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cx}$

$m_{A}v_{A0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}cos(40)$ (1)

y-coordinate

$p_{0y}=p_{fy}$

$m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{cy}$

$m_{B}v_{B0}=(m_{A}+m_{B})v_{c}sin(40)$ (2)

We can divide equations (2) and (1):

$\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=\frac{sin(40)}{cos(40)}$

$\frac{m_{B}v_{B0}}{m_{A}v_{A0}}=tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=\frac{m_{A}v_{A0}}{m_{B}}*tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=\frac{1200*25}{1600}*tan(40)$

$v_{B0}=15.73 m/s$

I hope it helps you!

A spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m is stretched 15cm. What is the force and energy associated with this stretching?

Olenka [21]

Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
$F = k*x$

Solving:
$F = k*x$
$F = 50*0.15$
$\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
$E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}$

Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
$E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}$
$E = \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}$
$E = \frac{50*0.0225}{2}$
$E = \frac{1.125}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{E = 0.5625\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
