The potential energy of the box when it gets to the top is
(mass) (gravity) (height)
= (7 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (5 m)
= 343 joules.
That's the work done against the force of gravity. Any
additional work is done against the force of friction.
Answer:
8 m west
Explanation:
If we say east is the +x direction, and west is the -x direction, then the displacement is:
Δx = 12 m + (-20 m)
Δx = -8 m
Locke said that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and private property; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens.
- The mechanic did 5406 Joules of work pushing the car.
That's the energy he put into the car. When he stops pushing, all the energy he put into the car is now the car's kinetic energy.
- Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²)
And there we have it
- The car's mass is 3,600 kg.
- Its speed is 'v' m/s .
- (1/2) (mass) (v²) = 5,406 Joules
(1/2) (3600 kg) (v²) = 5406 joules
1800 kg (v²) = 5406 joules
v² = (5406 joules) / (1800 kg)
v² = (5406/1800) (joules/kg)
= = = = = This section is just to work out the units of the answer:
- v² = (5406/1800) (Newton-meter/kg)
- v² = (5406/1800) (kg-m²/s² / kg)
= = = = =
v = √(5406/1800) m/s
<em>v = 1.733 m/s</em>
