If the force moving an object points at least partially in the opposite direction of the objects motion, the work is considered to be negative.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Work done is the measure of displacements caused on an object by the amount of force acting on it. The work done can be positive or negative. If the direction of force acting on an object is along the direction of motion of the object then the work done is positive.

This is because, in this case the external force is helping the object to continue its state of motion. So, if the force acting on the object is in completely opposite or partially opposite direction to the direction of motion of the object, it will stop or slow down the motion of the object.

This kind of force will have negative direction to the motion of the object and hence the work done will also be negative.

A projectile is fired at an upward angle of 35.6° from the top of a 208-m-high cliff with a speed of 170-m/s. What will be its s
sdas [7]

Answer:

Final velocity is 181.61 m/s at angle 40.44° below horizontal.

Explanation:

Initial horizontal velocity = 170 cos 35.6 = 138.23 m/s

Final horizontal velocity = 138.23 m/s

Considering vertical motion of projectile:

Initial vertical velocity, u = 170 sin 35.6 = 98.96 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = -208 m

We have v² = u² + 2as

Substituting

             v² = 98.96² + 2 x -9.81 x -208

             v = 117.79 m/s

Final velocity,

            v=\sqrt{138.23^2+117.79^2}=181.61m/s

            \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{117.79}{138.23}\right )=40.44^0

Final velocity is 181.61 m/s at angle 40.44° below horizontal.

A hammer taps on the end of a 4.10-m-long metal bar at room temperature. A microphone at the other end of the bar picks up two p
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Speed of sound inside metal is ≅ 8200 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Given :

Length of metal bar x = 4.10 m

From general velocity equation,

 v = \frac{x}{t}

Where v = speed of sound in air = 343 \frac{m}{s}

For finding time from above equation,

  t = \frac{x}{v}

 t = \frac{4}{343}

t = 0.01166 sec

Since pulses are separated by  t_{o} =  11.1 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0111 sec

So we take time difference,

\Delta t = t_{} -t_{o}  = 0.0005

So speed of sound in metal is,

 v = \frac{x}{\Delta t }

 v = \frac{4.10}{0.0005}

 v = 8200 \frac{m}{s}
