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

Koala bears can eat only certain kinds of Australian eucalyptus leaves. Koalas are considered _____.
murzikaleks [220]
They are marsupials that are considered "specialist eaters" since they only eat a certain type of leaf. While generalist feeders aren't as picky as the koala bears. I hope this helps!

How are igneous rock formed ?Explain in brief.​
Sati [7]

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are formed by melting and cooling of magma originated from volcanic process.

when molten rock (rock liquefied by intense heat and pressure) cools to a solid state. Lava is molten rock flowing out of fissures or vents at volcanic centres (when cooled they form rocks such as basalt, rhyolite, or obsidian)

These rocks are strong, crystalline and dark in colour.

What is a possible explination for why the giant ice caps that covered a supercontinent in the paleozoic era melted?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The Paleozoic era spanned from the Cambrian to the Permian and ended with a mass extinction at the end of the Permian. Geologists are still unsure of the cause but the theories include a meteorite impact or a massive volcanic event in Siberia or a combination of both. This could be a possible cause of the melting of the late Paleozoic ice sheets.

A 1.50 µF capacitor and a 3.50 µF capacitor are connected in series across a 2.50 V battery. How much charge (in µC) is stored o
Nataly_w [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

      C_{1} = 1.50 \times 10^{-6} F

      C_{1} = 3.50 \times 10^{-6} F    

      Voltage = 2.50 V

Hence, calculate the equivalence capacitor as follows.

    \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{C_{1}} + \frac{1}{C_{2}}

    \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{1.50 \times 10^{-6} F} + \frac{1}{3.50 \times 10^{-6} F}

                 = 0.945 \times 10^{-6} F

          C = 1.06 \times 10^{-6} F

Now, we will calculate the charge across each capacitance as follows.

              Q = CV

                  = 1.06 \times 10^{-6} F \times 2.50 V

                  = 2.65 \times 10^{-6} C

                  = 2.65 \mu C

Thus, we can conclude that 2.65 \mu C is the charge stored on each given capacitor.
