A cart loaded with bricks has a total mass of 9.13 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope. The rope is inclined at 24.7 ◦

degrees above the horizontal and the cart moves 15.1 m on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between ground and cart is 0.597. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . How much work is done on the cart by the rope? Answer in units of kJ

Answer:

W = 0.63 KJ

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the point product of force (F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force.  

W= F*d *cosα Formula (1)  

F : force (N)

d : displacement (m)

α : angle between force and displacement

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (2)  

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the cart on the ramp and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the cart

W: Weight of the cart : In vertical direction

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the floor

f : Friction force: parallel to the floor

T : tension Force,  inclined at  θ=24.7° above the horizontal

Calculated of the W

W= m*g

W= 9.13 kg* 9.8 m/s² = 89.47 N

x-y components o the  tension force (T)

Tx = Tcosθ = T*cos 24.7° (N)

Ty = Tsin θ = T*sin 24.7°  (N)

Calculated of the FN  

We apply the formula (2)  

∑Fy = m*ay ay = 0  

FN +Ty- W = 0  

FN = W-Ty  

FN =  89.47-T*sin 24.7°

Calculated of the friction force (f)

f = μk*FN

f =(0.597)*(  89.47-T*sin 24.7° )

f= 53.41-0.249T

Calculated of the tension force of the rope (f)

We apply the formula (2) :

∑Fx = m*ax  ,  ax= 0 ,because the speed of the cart  is constant

Tx - f = 0

T*cos 24.7°-( 53.41 - 0.249T )= 0

T*cos 24.7° + 0.249T = 53.41

(1.1575)T = 53.41

T= (53.41) / (1.1575)

T= 46.14 N

Work done on the cart by the rope

We apply the formula (1)

W=T*d *cosα

W= (46.14 N)*(15.1 m) *(cos24.7)

W = 632.97 (N*m) = 632.97 (J)

W = 0.63 KJ

guapka [62]

A. The force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

<h3>What is centrifugal force?</h3>

Centrifugal force is an inertial force that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.

This force is directed away from the center around which the body is moving.

<h3>What is centripetal force?</h3>

This is force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving.

While centripetal force is directed towards to the center, the centrifugal force is directed away.

Thus, the force that causes the water on the lettuce to come off the lettuce and go to the walls of the bowl is centrifugal force.

How many kilocalories are generated when the brakes are used to bring a 1200-kg car to rest from a speed of 95 km/h ? 1 kcal = 4
timofeeve [1]
<span>Answer: 1st, identify the givens and the unknown - this will give you parameter of what concept and formula are you going to use. Given: m= 1200kg v initial = 95km/hr v final = 0 2nd, focus on the units - in most cases units speak for the concept the unit of the unknown is kcal, thus its the unit of energy or work so, W = ? 3rd, provide the appropriate formula - give formula or equation that the given and the unknown are present since W = delta K.E =delta P.E W= 0.5m( vf^2 - vi^2) ---> best formula 4th, Substitute the given to the formula since 1 Joule = 1Nm 1N = 1kgms^-2 1cal = 4.19 J we express first 95 km/hr to m/s 95km/hr x 1000m/1km x 1hr/3600sec = 26.39 m/sec W= 0.5(1200kg)[(0^2- (26.39m/sec)^2] W=600 kg(0 - 696.43m^2/s^2) W=600kg(-696.43m^2/s^2) W=417859.3Nm or 417859.3 J W = 417859.3 J x 1 cal /4.19 J W = 99,727.7 cal or 99.728 kcal</span>

A 60 g ball of clay is thrown horizontally at 40 m/s toward a 1.5 kg block sitting at rest on a frictionless surface. the clay h
Bingel [31]
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed. 

Equating momentum before and after collision: 
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u 
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.

A chain has a mass of 10.0 kg. It is hanging freely, at rest, with one end connected to a ceiling hook.
Elza [17]

Answer:

Identify the object to be analyzed. For some systems in equilibrium, it may be necessary to consider more than one object. Identify all forces acting on the object. Identify the questions you need to answer. Identify the information given in the problem. In realistic problems, some key information may be implicit in the situation rather than provided explicitly.
