<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

a) 178.6125 Joules

b) Work done does not depend on constant speed or acceleration up the ladder

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Work done =Fd times the cosine of angle between;

where F is force d is distance m is the mass a is acceleration

.F=ma. In this case a=g=9.81 m/s^2 and cos 30=0.866

Therefore;  

W= 75 × 9.81 × 2.75 × .866  

   = 178.6125 Joules

b. The work done by the painter does not depend on whether the painter climbs at constant speed or accelerates up the ladder.

W=3376.945 Joules

Answer:

Work is defined as the movement caused by a force. In the case of someone climbing something, the person is doing force against gravity, so the work needed to lift an object of mass M by a height H is equal to W = MgH where h is the gravity acceleration.

In this case, M = 75kg and we can obtain the height by the Pythagorean theorem, where the ladder is the hypotenuse of a triangle.

If we want to only know the displacement in the y-axis, then we need to compute the adjacent cathetus, this is:

H = 2.75m*cos(30°) = 2.38m

and we know that g= 9.8m/s^2

so we can compute the work and obtain:

W = 2.38m*9.8m/s^2*75kg = 1739,3J

b) work does not depend on the velocity, the fact that he is ascending means that there is a force applied on him that fights against the gravity. Non the less, if there was a force bigger applied to him in the y-direction (which may accelerate him, the previous calculation is thinking that the force done is equal to the gravitational force) the work can be bigger. The work calculated before is the minimal work needed to make him ascend the height H.

As your rockets went upwards how would you describe how the energies changed?
chubhunter [2.5K]

As a rocket increases height and slows down, it gains more and more potential energy and loses more and more kinetic energy. Potential energy is store energy (usually determined by height), and kinetic energy increases as speed increases.

For a body falling freely from rest​ (disregarding air​ resistance), the distance the body falls varies directly as the square o
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The object would fall 57.625 m in the first 5 seconds

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that

the height of fall = 490 ft = ‪149.352‬ m

Time to touch the ground = 7 seconds

We are required to find out how far the object falls in the first 5 seconds

We apply the relation

S = u·t + 0.5×g·t ² = We then have

‪149.352‬ = U×7+0.5*9.81*49 From where u = -13 m/s

Therefore to find how far it falls in the first 5 seconds, we have

-13*5 + 0.5*9.81*25 = 57.625 m

What is the weight of the ethyl alcohol that exactly fills a 200.0 mL container? The density of ethyl alcohol is 0.789 g/mL
sweet [91]

Answer:

1.55 N

Explanation:

Density = mass / volume

0.789 g/mL = m / 200.0 mL

m = 157.8 g

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

W = (0.1578 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

W = 1.55 N

The pages of a book are numbered 1 to 200 and each
never [62]

Answer:

10.4mm

Explanation:

2 pages = 1 leaf

200 pages = 100 leaves

100 × 0.10 = 10 mm thickness

Total thickness = 2(0.20) +10 = 0.4+10 = 10.4mm
