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 12000 kg boat is moving 4.25 m/s. Its engine pushes 9200 N forward, but the current pushes back at 12,500 N. How much times do
Verizon [17]

Answer:

15.5 seconds

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

-12500 + 9200 = (12000) a

a = -0.275 m/s²

v = at + v₀

0 = (-0.275) t + 4.25

t = 15.5 s

It takes the boat 15.5 seconds to stop.

A uniform metal tube of length 5m and mass 9kg is suspended by two vertical wires attached at 50cm and 150cm respectively from t
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

Explanation:

Given:

Length of tube = 5 m (500 cm)

Mass of tube = 9

Suspended vertically from 150 cm and 50 cm.

Computation:

Force = Mass × gravity acceleration.

Force = 9.8 x 9

Force = 88.2 N

So,

Upward forces = Downward forces

D1 = 150 - 50 = 100 cm

D2 = 150 + 50 = 200 cm

And F1 = F2

F1 x D1 = F2 x D2

F1 x 100 = F2 x 200

F = 2F

Total force = Upward forces + Downward forces

3F = 88.2

F = 29.4 and 2F = 58.8 N

force (tension) of 29.4 N (upward)  in 100 cm

force (tension) of 58.4 N (upward)  in 200 cm

A 1kg cart slams into a stationary 1kg cart at 2 m/s. The carts stick together and move forward at a speed of 1 m/sl. Determine
finlep [7]

Answer:

No, it is not conserved

Explanation:

Let's calculate the total kinetic energy before the collision and compare it with the total kinetic energy after the collision.

The total kinetic energy before the collision is:

K_i = K_1 + K_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(2 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(0)^2=2 J

where m1 = m2 = 1 kg are the masses of the two carts, v1=2 m/s is the speed of the first cart, and where v2=0 is the speed of the second cart, which is zero because it is stationary.

After the collision, the two carts stick together with same speed v=1 m/s; their total kinetic energy is

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg+1kg)(1 m/s)^2=1 J

So, we see that the kinetic energy was not conserved, because the initial kinetic energy was 2 J while the final kinetic energy is 1 J. This means that this is an inelastic collision, in which only the total momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy does not violate the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the energy lost has simply been converted into another form of energy, such as heat, during the collision.

What is dark energy and what evidence do astronomers have that it is an important component of the universe?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The existance of dark energy was suggested to help explain measurements, using Type Ia supernovae as distance indicators, that the expansion of the universe is speeding up and its acceleration requires a source of energy. Scientists suggested that It may be a new form of energy for which there is not yet a theoretical explanation. quantum mechanics predict that it may be the vacuum energy associated with "empty" space itself.
