Wending your way through this question and the list of choices
is like running through a corn-maze on a moonless night with
your eyes closed.

Work = (force) x (distance)

Keeping with the units used In the question ...

       Work = (90 pounds) x (4 feet)  =  360 foot-pounds .

If you want the work expressed in joules, then you need to convert
pounds and feet to newtons and meters.

           (90 pounds) x (4.448 newtons/pound) =  400.32 Newtons

               (4 feet) x (1 meter / 3.28084 feet)  =  1.219 meters

Work = (force) x (distance)

          = (400.32 newtons) x (1.219 meters) = 488.1 joules .

A dog runs 30 feet to the north then 5 feet to the south what is the displacement of the dog
Nuetrik [128]
To look for displacement, just draw a vector from your beginning stage to your last position and settle for the length of this line. So we begin by drawing a line to the north which is 30 ft, since it is north, the line is going up, then it move 5 ft to the south, so put a line going down, so we are in 25 ft, North so that would be the answer.

The tension in the rope is constant and equal to 40 N as the block is pulled. What is the instantaneous power (in W) supplied by
Eduardwww [97]

Complete Question:

A 10 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a rope that is oriented at 60° relative to the horizontal surface.

The tension in the rope is constant and equal to 40 N as the block is pulled. What is the instantaneous power (in W) supplied by the tension in the rope if the block when the block is 5 m away from its starting point? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is 0.2 and you may assume that the block starting at rest.

Answer:

Power = 54.07 W

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 10 kg

Angle made with the horizontal, θ = 60°

Distance covered, d = 5 m

Tension in the rope, T = 40 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction, \mu = 0.2

Let the Normal reaction = N

The weight of the block acting downwards = mg

The vertical resolution of the 40 N force, f_{y} = 40sin \theta

\sum f(y) = 0

N + 40 sin \theta - mg = 0\\N = -40sin60 + 10*9.81 = 0\\N = 63.46 N

\sum f(x) = 0

40 cos 60 - f_{r} - ma = 0\\ f_{r} = \mu N\\ f_{r} = 0.2 * 63.46\\ f_{r} = 12.69 N\\40cos 60 - 12.69-10a = 0\\7.31 = 10a\\a = 0.731 m/s^{2}

v^{2}  = u^{2} + 2as\\u = 0 m/s\\v^{2}  =  2 * 0.731 * 5\\v^{2}  = 7.31\\v = \sqrt{7.31} \\v = 2.704 m/s

Power, P = Fvcos \theta

P = 40 *2.704 cos60\\P = 54.074 W

A ball is released from a hot air balloon moving downward with a velocity of -10.0 meters/second and a height of 1,000 meters. H
Nikolay [14]
Here, ball is released... and it is in free fall means with zero initial velocity.

We know, s = ut + 1/2 at²
Here, s = 1000 m
u = 0
a = 10 m/s2

Substitute their values, 
1000 = 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t²
2000 = 10 * t²
t² = 2000 /10
t = √200
t = 14.14 s

In short, Your Answer would be 14.14 seconds

Hope this helps!

An astronaut sitting on the launch pad on Earth's surface is 6,400 kilometers from Earth's center and weighs 400 newtons. Calcul
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

weight at height = 100 N .

Explanation:

The problem relates to variation of weight  due to change in height .

Let g₀ and g₁ be acceleration due to gravity , m is mass of the object .

At the surface :

Applying Newton's law of gravitation

mg₀ = G Mm / R²

At height h from centre

mg₁ = G Mm /h²

Given mg₀ = 400 N

400 = G Mm / R²

400 = G Mm / (6400 x 10³ )²

G Mm = 400 x (6400 x 10³ )²

At height h from centre

mg₁ =  400 x (6400 x 10³ )²/ ( 2 x 6400 x 10³)²

= 400 / 4

= 100 N .

weight at height = 100 N
