Answer:

Work = 2160 J

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we know that work done is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the cyclist.

As the cyclist is initially moving at speed 8 m/s and after some time his speed changes to 10 m/s

So here we can say that

final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy = work done

W = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

now by plug in all values

W = \frac{1}{2}(120)(10^2 - 8^2)

W = 2160 J

so work done by cyclist will be 2160 J

W=∆KE

KE=1/2m∆v^2

=1/2*120*(10-8) ^2

=240j

A force of 30n is applied to a screwdriver to pry the lid off of a can of paint. The screwdriver applies 75n of force to the lid
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
The mechanical advantage of the screwdriver that is being described above is equal to 75N. This means that for every 30N that is applied on the screwdriver, this simple machine would in turn apply 75N of force to the lid of the can.

A 35-gram stainless steel ball on a track is moving at a velocity of 9 m/s. On the same track, a 75-gram stainless steel ball is
elena-s [515]

Answer:

4.2 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(35 g) (9 m/s) + (75 g) (-7 m/s) = (35 g) (-15 m/s) + (75 g) v

315 g m/s − 525 g m/s = -525 g m/s + (75 g) v

315 g m/s = (75 g) v

v = 4.2 m/s

Two machines do thae same may have different power why
marissa [1.9K]

The quantity work has to do with a force causing a displacement. Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause the displacement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. For example, a rock climber takes an abnormally long time to elevate her body up a few meters along the side of a cliff. On the other hand, a trail hiker (who selects the easier path up the mountain) might elevate her body a few meters in a short amount of time. The two people might do the same amount of work, yet the hiker does the work in considerably less time than the rock climber. The quantity that has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The hiker has a greater power rating than the rock climber.

Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation.


Power = Work / time


or


P = W / t
