Answer: 1666J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of box (m) = 10kg

Total distance covered by box (h)

= (5m + 12m)

= 17m

work done on the box = ?

Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance. Hence, the magnitude of work done on the box depends on its mass (m), distance covered (h), and acceleration due to gravity (g)

(g has a value of 9.8m/s²

i.e Work = mgh

Work = 10kg x 9.8m/s² x 17m

Work = 1666J

Thus, 1666 joules of work was done by the woman on the box.

Physics, calculating net force. Please work it out for me

Margarita [4]

Answer:

F = 2985.125 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of curvature of the roller coaster, r = 8 m

Speed of Micheal, v = 17 m/s

Mass of body, m = 65 kg We need to find the net force acting on Micheal. Net force act the bottom of the circle is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}+mg\\\\F=m(\dfrac{v^2}{r}+g)\\\\=65(\dfrac{17^2}{8}+9.8)\\\\=2985.125\ N$

So, the net force is 2985.125 N.

Water is drawn from a well in a bucket tied to the end of a rope whose other end wraps around a solid cylinder of mass 50 kg and

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

$\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of solid cylinder, $m=50\ kg$

diameter of cylinder, $d=0.25\ m$

mass of bucket of water, $m_w=20\ kg$

<em>When the bucket is released to fall in the well, it fall under the acceleration due to gravity.</em>

We have formula for angular acceleration as:

$\alpha=\frac{g}{r}$

where:

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = radius of the cylinder

$\aplha=\frac{9.8}{0.125}$

$\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}$
