A 600-N box is pushed up a ramp that is 2 meters high and 5 meters long. The person exerts a force of 300-N. What is the efficie

From information given, there are two forces in action, the vertical and the horizontal. We first need to calculate separately work done by these two forces, then determine the efficiency. Work = Force × distance work(a) → 600N × 2m = 1,200 Nm work(b) → 300N × 5m = 1,500 Nm Efficiency = work(a) / work (b) × 100 Efficiency = 1200 / 1500 × 100 Efficiency = 0.8 × 100 Efficiency = 80% Therefore the efficiency of the ramp is 80%

A 210 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 2.0 N/cm. The block becomes attached t
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a) W_{g}=mdx = 0.21 kg *9.8\frac{m}{s^2} 0.10m=0.2058 J

b) W_{spring}= -\frac{1}{2} Kx^2 =-\frac{1}{2} 200 N/m (0.1m)^2=-1 J

c) V_i =\sqrt{2 \frac{W_g + W_{spring}}{0.21 kg}}}=\sqrt{2 \frac{(1-0.2058)}{0.21 kg}}}=2.75m/s

d)  d_1 =0.183m or 18.3 cm

Explanation:

For this case we have the following system with the forces on the figure attached.

We know that the spring compresses a total distance of x=0.10 m

Part a

The gravitational force is defined as mg so on this case the work donde by the gravity is:

W_{g}=mdx = 0.21 kg *9.8\frac{m}{s^2} 0.10m=0.2058 J

Part b

For this case first we can convert the spring constant to N/m like this:

2 \frac{N}{cm} \frac{100cm}{1m}=200 \frac{N}{m}

And the work donde by the spring on this case is given by:

W_{spring}= -\frac{1}{2} Kx^2 =-\frac{1}{2} 200 N/m (0.1m)^2=-1 J

Part c

We can assume that the initial velocity for the block is Vi and is at rest from the end of the movement. If we use balance of energy we got:

W_{g} +W_{spring} = K_{f} -K_{i}=0- \frac{1}{2} m v^2_i

And if we solve for the initial velocity we got:

V_i =\sqrt{2 \frac{W_g + W_{spring}}{0.21 kg}}}=\sqrt{2 \frac{(1-0.2058)}{0.21 kg}}}=2.75m/s

Part d

Let d1 represent the new maximum distance, in order to find it we know that :

-1/2mV^2_i = W_g + W_{spring}

And replacing we got:

-1/2mV^2_i =mg d_1 -1/2 k d^2_1

And we can put the terms like this:

\frac{1}{2} k d^2_1 -mg d_1 -1/2 m V^2_i =0

If we multiply all the equation by 2 we got:

k d^2_1 -2 mg d_1 -m V^2_i =0

Now we can replace the values and we got:

200N/m d^2_1 -0.21kg(9.8m/s^2)d_1 -0.21 kg(5.50 m/s)^2) =0

200 d^2_1 -2.058 d_1 -6.3525=0

And solving the quadratic equation we got that the solution for d_1 =0.183m or 18.3 cm because the negative solution not make sense.

A 60kg student traveling in a 1000kg car with a constant velocity has a kinetic energy of 1.2 x 10^4 J. What is the speedometer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

17.64 km/h

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

Kinetic energy of car, K = 1.2 x 10^4 J

Let the speed of car is v.

Use the formula for kinetic energy.

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

By substituting the values

1.2\times 10^{4} = \frac{1}{2}\times 1000\times v^{2}

v = 4.9 m/s

Now convert metre per second into km / h

We know that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 second

So, v = \left (\frac{4.9}{1000}   \right )\times \left ( \frac{3600}{1} \right )

v = 17.64 km/h

Thus, the reading of speedometer is 17.64 km/h.

Vector a has a magnitude of 12.3 units and points due west. vector b points due north. what is the magnitude of b if a - b has a
algol [13]

The magnitude of vector b is 8.58 Unit.

Since both the vectors a and b are perpendicular to each other, so we can apply the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the magnitude of the vector b.

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2

15^2=12.3^2-b^2

b=8.58 unit

Therefor the magnitude of the vector b is 8.58 unit.
