A girl rides her bike 5.4 km due east. While riding she experiences a resistive force from the air that has a magnitude of 3.1 N

and points due west. She then turns around and rides due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 3.3 N and points due east.?

Answer:

(A) = 34,560 J

(B) Work done during the round trip is not zero, hence the resistive force is not a conservative force.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A girl rides her bike 5.4 km due east. While riding she experiences a resistive force from the air that has a magnitude of 3.1 N and points due west. She then turns around and rides due west, back to her starting point. The resistive force from the air on the return trip has a magnitude of 3.3 N and points due east.? (a) Find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip. (b) Based on your answer to part (a), is the resistive force a conservative force? Explain.

SOLUTION:

distance covered by the girl due east (De) = 5.4 km = 5400 m

magnitude of resistive force by the air (Fw) = 3.1 N due west

distance covered by the girl due west (Dw) = 5.4 km = 5400 m

magnitude of resistive force by the air (Fe) = 3.3 N due east

(A) to find the work done by the resistive force during the round trip we have to get the work done by the resistive force due west and add it to the work done by the resistive force due east

  • work done by the resistive force due west = (Fw.cosθ) x De

        where θ is the angle between the displacement and the force. The    

        displacement is due east while the force is due west, hence θ = 180°

       work done (W1) = (3.1 x cos 180) x 5400 = -16,740 j

  • work done by the resistive force due east = (Fe.cosθ) x Dw

        where θ is the angle between the displacement and the force. The    

        displacement is due west while the force is due east, hence θ = 180°

       work done (W2) = (3.3 x cos 180) x 5400 = -17,820 j

Hence work done during the round trip = W1 + W2 = (-16,740 ) + (-17,820)

= 34,560 J

(B) A conservative force is a force in which the work done by the force in moving an object around a closed path is zero. From part (A) above the work done during the round trip is not zero, hence the resistive force is not a conservative force.

<h3>What is thermal equilibrium?</h3>

When two objects are in direct contact and transfer heat through conduction. When the both object attain same temperature after sometime, they are called in thermal equilibrium.

Two identical blocks are heated to different temperatures. The blocks are placed so that they touch, and heat begins to flow between blocks. The heat will continue to until and unless they have same temperatures. After they being isolated, the temperature of both will be same and no heat is transferred outside.

Thus, the pair of temperatures possible is  95 +95 temperature blocks.

If a pebble is being transported in a stream by rolling, how does the velocity of it compare to the velocity of the stream?
AleksandrR [38]
Streams carry sediment, like pebbles, in their flows. The pebbles can be in a variety of locations in the flow, depending on it's size, the balance between the upwards velocity on the pebble (drag and lift forces), and it's settling velocity.

What type of simple machine can pinball machine flippers can be explained?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Your pinball machine was built using two kinds of simple machines: a lever and an inclined plane. The lever shot the marble to the top of the box with lots of force. The inclined planes made the marble wind its way down to the bottom.
