Answer:

The work is given 556 J. Here work is performed horizontally so your distance d=1.3 m

W=F.d

F=W/d =556/1.3 = 427.69 N

The work is equal to the product between the force applied and the distance covered by the box:
$W=Fd$
In our problem, W=556 J, and d=1.3 m (the box is lifted to a height of 1.3 m, so it covered 1.3 m from its initial point). Therefore we can find the force applied to lift the box:
$F= \frac{W}{d}= \frac{556 J}{1.3 m}=427.7 N$

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surfac

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength = 6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A = 0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

A = 0.30 m/2 = 0.15 m

Imagine a small child whose legs are half as long as her parent’s legs. If her parent can walk at maximum speed V, at what maxim

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

$\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

Explanation:

We know that speed is given by dividing distance by time or multiplying length and frequency. The speed of the father will be given by Lf where L is the length of the father’s leg ad f is the frequency.

We know that frequency of simple pendulum follows that $f=\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}$

Now, the speed of the father will be $V=Lf= L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})$ while for the child the speed will be $v=\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})$

The ratio of the father’s speed to the child’s speed will be

$\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})}{ L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})}\\\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\\\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}$

Calculate the acceleration of a car if it's velocity increases from 15 m/s to 75m/s in 5 seconds.

Andreas93 [3]

initial velocity=u=15m/s
Final velocity=v=75m/s
Time=t=5s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{75-15}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{60}{5}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=12m/s^2$

If you are driving 95 km????h along a straight road and you look to the side for 2.0 s, how far do you travel during this inatte

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

52.7 m

Explanation:

Given that

speed of the vehicle, v = 95 km/h

time of inattentiveness, t = 2 s

distance travelled, s = ?

Since we have the speed in km/h and the time in s, it would be best if we converted one of them to make sure we have all units in the same rank.

95 km/h = 95 * 1000/3600 m/s

95 km/h = 95000/3600 m/s

95 km/h = 26.38 m/s

Now, we use our derived speed in m/s

Speed of a moving vehicle is given by,

v = s/t, where

v = speed in m/s

s = distance travelled, in m

t = time spent, in s

if we make d the subject of formula by rearranging the equation, we have

s = v * t

distance travelled, s = 26.38 * 2

distance travelled, s = 52.7 m

therefore, during this inattentive period, 52.7 m was travelled.
