A man does 4,475 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.50 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 26.0 m.

Neglecting friction between truck and road, determine the following:
a. The speed v.
b. The horizontal force exerted on the truck.

Answer:

a) 1.89 m/s  b) 172.1 N

Explanation:

a)

  • Applying the work-energy theorem, if we can neglect the friction between truck and road, the total change in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the external forces.
  • This work, is just 4,475 J.
  • So we can write the following equation:

        \Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2} = 4,475 J

  • where m= mass of the truck = 2.5*10³ kg.
  • So, we can find the speed v, as follows:

        v =\sqrt{\frac{2*W}{m}} =\sqrt{\frac{2*4,475J}{2.5e3kg} }  = 1.89 m/s

b)

  • The work done by the man, is just the horizontal force applied, times the displacement produced by the force horizontally:

        W = F*d

  • We can solve for F, as follows:

        F = \frac{W}{d} = \frac{4,475 J}{26.0m} =  172.1 N

In what way could a random mutation provide an organism with an advantage? With a example please
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

They are called beneficial mutations. They lead to new versions of proteins that help organisms adapt to changes in their environment. Beneficial mutations are essential for evolution to occur. They increase an organism's changes of surviving or reproducing, so they are likely to become more common over time.

A _____________ is a system that uses vertical posts which are separated to support a horizontal beam. A. Truss c. Post-and-lint
IgorC [24]

A Post-and-lintel is a system that uses vertical posts which are separated to

support a horizontal beam.

A Post-and-lintel system is commonly used in architecture and involves the

system where horizontal structures are held by vertical ones with the

presence of spaces between them.

In this scenario, we were told the system uses vertical posts which are

separated to support a horizontal beam which makes Post-and-lintel the

most appropriate choice.
