The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Work = 50kg * 1.5m

= 75

Work = 55kg * 1 m

=55

75 > 55

Therefore, the statement that is true is “Herb lifting 50 kg 1.5 meters does more work than Foley lifting 55 kg 1 meter.”

Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour. What is her typing speed in words per minute?

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

60words/minute

Explanation:

If Sunitha can type 1800 words in half an hour, this can be expressed as;

1800 words = 30 minutes

To get her typing speed per minute, we will use the formula

Speed = Number of words/Time used

Typing speed = 1800/30

Typing speed = 60words/minute

Hence her typing speed in words per minute is 60words/minute

A train at a constant 60.0 km/h moves east for 40.0 min, then in a direction 50.0 degrees east of due north for 20.0 min, and th

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Part a)

$v = 7.57 km/h$

Part b)

$\theta = 67.5 degree$ North of East

Explanation:

Speed of train towards East = 60 km/h

displacement towards East is given as

$d_1 = 40 km$

now it turns towards 50 degree East of North

so its distance is given as

$d_2 = 20 km(sin50 \hat i + cos50\hat j)$

$d_2 = 15.3 \hat i + 12.8 \hat j$

then finally it moves towards west for 50 min

$d_3 = -50 \hat i$

Now the total displacement of the train is given as

$d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3$

$d = (40 + 15.3 - 50)\hat i + 12.8 \hat j$

$d = 5.3\hat i + 12.8 \hat j$

now total time duration of the motion is given as

$T = 40 min + 20 min + 50 min$

$T = 1.83 h$

now average velocity is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{5.3\hat i + 12.8\hat j}{1.83}$

$v_{avg} = 2.89\hat i + 6.99\hat j$

Part a)

magnitude of the average velocity is given as

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{2.89^2 + 6.99^2}$

$v = 7.57 km/h$

Part b)

Direction of the velocity is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{6.99}{2.89}$

$\theta = 67.5 degree$ North of East

A 2.0kg rock is thrown straight up into the air with a speed of 30m/s. Ignore air resistance. What is the net force acting on th

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

19.6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 2kg

Speed = 30m/s

Unknown:

Net force on the rock = ?

Solution:

The net force acting on this rock is a function of the acceleration due to gravity acting upon it.

Net force = weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Net force = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6N downward
