The transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance is WORK.
(a) The acceleration of the system is determined as 1.58 m/s².
(b) The relative weight of P is pounds is determined as 0.14 lb.
<h3>
Acceleration of the system</h3>
The acceleration of the system is calculated as follows;
W - T = m₂a --- (1)
T = m₁a ----(2)
μmgsinθ - m₁a = m₂a
(0.3 x 3 x 9.8 x sin40) - (0.4 + 0.2)a = 3a
5.67 - 0.6a = 3a
5.67 = 3.6a
a = 5.67/3.6
a = 1.58 m/s²
<h3>
Relative Weight of P</h3>
W = ma
W = 0.4 x 1.58
W = 0.632 N = 0.14 lb

#SPJ1
-- There are three pairs of mass with gravitational forces between them.
-- The distances between the masses are the same for each pair.
-- The only other quantity that determines the strength of the gravitational
force is the product of the masses.
-- The product of the masses is greatest for the apple and the watermelon,
so the strength of the gravitational force between them is the greatest.
Given:
Work done, W = 5 J
Initial energy = 8J
Final energy = 30J
Let's determine if the work done have a positive or nrgative value.
Appy the equation for the first lae of thermodynamics:
Where:
U is the change in internal energy
Q is the added heat
W is the work done
To find the work done here, we have:
Rewrite the formula for W
Where:
ΔU = 30J - 8J = 22J
Q = 5J
Thus, we have:
Therefore, the work done here is -17J.
This means the work done in this scenario has a negative value.
ANSWER:
The work done in this scenario has a negative value
