What does it mean when work is positive?
jenyasd209 [6]
Both positive work and negative work have meaning: Positive work follows when the force has a component parallel to the displacement. Positive work adds energy to a system. Negative work follows when the force has a component opposite or against the displacement.

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.330. At what minimum rate wo
Helga [31]

Answer:3.23 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

\mu_s =0.330

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force F_s

F_s=ma_{min}

\mu_sN=ma_{min}

\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}

a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2

A penny is placed on a rotating turntable. where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain
Mama L [17]

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m"  and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.  

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.

5. 3 women push a stalled car. Each woman pushes with a 400N force. What is the mass of the car if the car accelerates at 0.85 m
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

<h2>470.59 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The the mass of the car can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{400}{0.85}  \\  = 470.58823...

We have the final answer as

<h3>470.59 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
