Answer:

(a)The work done by the force Fp is 198.6J

(b) The work done by the weight mg is -198.6J

The net force acting on the cart is zero. This is because the cart is moving with a constant velocity and by newton's first law the the net force on the cart is equal to zero.

Fp was calculated to be equal to 34.94 N.

Explanation:

In order to solve this kind of problems successfully, the best approach is to resolve all forces acting on the cart parallel and perpendicular to the ramp surface. So that the x-axis is parallel to the ramp surface and the y axis is perpendicular to the ramp surface.

Fpx = FpCos 29°

Fpy = FpSin 29°

Wx = mg sin12°

Wy = mg cos 12°

Summation Fx = 0

And Summation Fy = 0

The full solution can be found below in the attachment.

Thank you for reading and I hope this is helpful to you.

Answer: a. 198.6J b. - 198.6J

Explanation: Parameters given:

m = 15kg

g = 9.8m/s²

∅ = 12°

a. Work done by the force Fp on the cart if the ramp is 6.5m long.

Given the formula, Fp = Mgsin∅ = 15 x 9.8 x sin12° = 30.56N

Therefore Work done (Wp) = Fp x Ramp Length = 30.56 x 6.5 = 198.64Nm or 198.6J

b. The work done by the force mg on the cart.

Since the cart is being pushed upwards, it acts against gravity with its direction of motion. Taking into account the formula from the previous answer for Work Done (Wg) = Fmg x distance

= 15kg x -9.8m/s² x Sin12° x 6.5m

= - 198.6J

A 12,000-N car is raised using a hydraulic lift, which consists of a U-tube with arms of unequal areas, filled with oil and capp
Bond [772]

Answer:

= 925.92 N

≅ 926N

Explanation:

Pressure due to car = pressure due to applied force  

12000/18^2 = Force / 5^2

force = 12000 * 25/ 324

= 925.92 N

For equilibrium

Pressure1 = Pressure2

A1F1 = A2F2

12000*pi*(5^2) = F2 ( pi)*(18^2)

so, F2 = Applied force to lift car = 925.92 N

Pascal's principle

Pressure1 = Pressure2

F1/A1 = F2/A2 (F=force and A=area)

A1 =Pi*(0.05)²

A2 =Pi(0.18)²

F2=12000

F1 = 12000*(0.05)² / (0.18)² = 926N

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing  illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

E_{e} = E_{3}  - E_{1}

E_{e} = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E_{1} = -4 eV

E_{3} = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

E_{e} = -1 -(-4)  eV

   = -1 + 4 = 3 eV
