1)  148 J

When lifting an object, the work done on the object is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy. Mathematically:

W = \Delta U = (mg) \Delta h

where

mg is the weight of the object

\Delta h is the change in height

For the box in this problem,

mg = 185 N

\Delta h = 0.800 m

Substituting into the equation, we find:

W=(185)(0.800)=148 J

2) (a) 28875 J

The work done by a force applied parallel to the direction of motion of the object is given by

W=Fd

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

In this problem,

F = 825 N is the force applied by the two students together

d = 35 m is the displacement of the car

Substituting,

W=(825)(35)=28875 J

2) (b) 57750 J

As seen previously, the equation that gives the work done by the force is

W=Fd

We see that the work done is proportional to the magnitude of the force: therefore, if the force is doubled, then the work done is also doubled.

The work done previously was

W = 28875 J

Now the force is doubled, so the new work done will be

W' = 2(28875)=57750 J

3) 4.4 J

In this case, the force acting on the ball is the force of gravity, whose magnitude is:

F = mg

where

m = 0.180 kg is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation,

F=(0.180)(9.8)=1.76 N

Now we find the work done by gravity using the same formula applied before:

W=Fd

where d = 2.5 m is the displacement of the ball. We can apply this version of the formula since the force is parallel to the displacement. Substituting,

W=(1.76)(2.5)=4.4 J

4) 595.2 kg

In this case, we have the work done on the box:

W = 7.0 kJ = 7000 J

And we also know the change in height of the box:

\Delta h = 1.2 m

As we stated in part a), the work done on the box is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

W=mg \Delta h

Solving for m, we find

m=\frac{W}{g \Delta h}

And substituting the numerical values, we find the mass of the box:

m=\frac{7000}{(9.8)(1.2)}=595.2 kg

5) They do the same work

In fact, the net work done by each person on the box is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy of the box:

W=mg \Delta h

Where \Delta h is the difference in height between the final position and the initial position of the box.

This means that the work done on the box depends only on its initial and final position, not on the path taken. The two men carry the box along different paths, however the reach at the end the same position, and they started from the same position: this means that the value of \Delta h is the same for both of them, so the work they have done is exactly the same.

A race car accelerates from 0 m/s to 30.0 m/s with a displacement of
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

4. 10.0 m/s²

Explanation:

I) if initial velocity is 'v₀', the final velocity is 'v', the accelaration is 'a', the distance is 'L' and elapsed time if 't', then:

1. \ a=\frac{v-v_0}{t};

2. \ L=\frac{at^2}{2}.

II) using these two equations after substitution v₀=0; v=30 and L=45:

\left \{{{45 =\frac{at^2}{2}} \atop {a=\frac{30-0}{t} }} \right.

\left \{ {{at^2=90} \atop {at=30}} \right. \  \ \left \{ {{a=10} \atop {t=3}} \right. => \ a=10\frac{m}{s^2}

How much power does a 2000 kg car need to accelerate from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 7 seconds?
Alexus [3.1K]

firstly you get your acceleration with the formula, a=v-u/t. Then you use the formula for kinetic energy 1/2mv^2

then you can finally get the answer for power by dividing your previous answer by the time

Reika [66]

Answer:

The boats are  934.65 feet apart

Explanation:

Given:

The angles of depression to the two boats are 42 degrees and 29 degrees

Height of the observation deck i =  1,353 feet

To Find:

How far apart are the boats (y )= ?

Solution:

<em><u>Step 1 : Finding the value of x(Refer the figure attached)</u></em>

We can use the tangent ratio to find the x value

tan(42^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{x}

x = \frac{1353}{tan(42^{\circ}) }

x = 590.47 feet

<em><u>Step 2 : Finding the value of  z (Refer the figure attached)</u></em>

tan(29^{\circ}) = \frac{1353}{z }

z  = \frac{1353}{tan(29^{\circ})}

z = 1525.12  feet

<em><u>Step 3 : Finding the value of  y (Refer the figure attached</u></em>)

y =  z -x

y = 1525.12 - 590.47

y = 934.65 feet

Thus the two boats are 934.65 feet apart

If a sound with frequency fs is produced by a source traveling along a line with speed vs. If an observer is traveling with spee
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

457.81 Hz

Explanation:

From the question, it is stated that it is a question under Doppler effect.

As a result, we use this form

fo = (c + vo) / (c - vs) × fs

fo = observed frequency by observer =?

c = speed of sound = 332 m/s

vo = velocity of observer relative to source = 45 m/s

vs = velocity of source relative to observer = - 46 m/s ( it is taking a negative sign because the velocity of the source is in opposite direction to the observer).

fs = frequency of sound wave by source = 459 Hz

By substituting the the values to the equation, we have

fo = (332 + 45) / (332 - (-46)) × 459

fo = (377/ 332 + 46) × 459

fo = (377/ 378) × 459

fo = 0.9974 × 459

fo = 457.81 Hz
