Answer:

W=6 J (Joules)

Ep=0 J (Joules)

Step-by-step explanation:

A trunk is dragged 3 m across an attic floor by a force of 2 N.

Work done is the amount of energy transferred. The formula is:

W=F×d

Which is the same as:

W=F×d=F.d.cosφ

Where,

F: Force (N).

d: Distance moved in the direction of the force (displacement) (m).

φ: Angle between the force and the direction of motion.

Now, replacing the data:

W=2N.3m.cos(0°) (We assume that the force and the displacement have the same direction and orientation. That's why φ=0°)

Then,

W=2N.3m.1=6Nm

W=6 J

Now we have to calculate the gain in potential energy:

The gravitational potential energy (Ep) is the energy stored by an object because of its position. The formula is:

Ep=m.g.h

Where,

m: Mass of the object. (Kg)

g: Acceleration due to gravity. (\frac{m}{s^2})

h: Vertical height. (m)

In this case there isn't vertical height. We assume that the displacement is  in the floor level and we are going to take this as h=0m

Ep=0 J

Work done on trunk = force * distance = 2 * 3 = 6 joules

Gain in potential energy = 0 joules

Solve the equation 3/4x+3-2x = -1/4+1/2x+5
elena55 [62]
Hi there! The answer is x = -1

Let's solve this equation step by step!
\frac{3}{4} x + 3 - 2x = - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{2} x + 5

First collect terms.
- 1 \frac{1}{4} x + 3 = \frac{1}{2} x + 4 \frac{3}{4}

Subtract (1/2)x from both sides.
- 1\frac{3}{4} x + 3 = 4 \frac{3}{4}

Subtract 3 from both sides.
- 1\frac{3}{4} x = 1 \frac{3}{4}

And finally divide by -1 3/4
x = \frac{7}{4} \div - \frac{7}{4} = \frac{7}{4} \times - \frac{4}{7} = - \frac{28}{28} = - 1

Verify the following identity: (csc theta -cot theta )/(sec theta -1) A. sec theta B. cos theta C. cot theta D. sin theta
alexdok [17]

Answer:

C. cot theta

Step-by-step explanation:

(csc theta -cot theta )/(sec theta -1)

csc = 1/ sin

cot = cos / sin

sec = 1 / cos

Let x = theta

(1/ sin x -cos x / sin x )/(1/ cos x -1)

Getting a common denominator in the denominator and combining terms

(1- cos x)/ sinx  / ( 1 - cos x) / cos x

(1- cosx)      (1- cosx)

----------- ÷ ------------

sinx            cos x

Copy dot flip

(1- cosx)       cosx

----------- * ------------

sinx            1 -cos x

Cancel like terms

cos x / sin x

cos / sin = cot

cot x

cot theta
