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

Pressure can affect the density of<br><br> Solids<br> Liquids<br> Gases<br> Metals
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer;

-Gases

Explanation;

-Pressure can affect the density of gases.

-Density of gases changes with pressure and temperature because gases are compressible fluid and because they are compressible, when pressure increases molecules come closer to each other which means increase in density and when pressure drops molecules of gases become free to expand and get away from each other which density decrease.

Both a 3 kg book and 5 kg bowling ball are sitting still on the floor. What is true about the kinetic energy of the objects? Exp
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The kinetic energy for both objects is the same.

Explanation:

While in other cases the kinetic energies of two objects that have different masses might be different depending on their velocities, in this case both the 3 kg book and 5 kg bowling ball have the same kinetic energy.

This is because kinetic energy is calculated using the formula: K = 1/2 * m * v^2, where m represents the mass and v represents the velocity of the object.

Since the book and the bowling ball are sitting still on the floor, their velocities are zero.  Hence, when we plug in 0 for velocity into the equation for kinetic energy, we will get that the kinetic energy is 0 for the book and the bowling ball.

Hope this helps!
