You have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3

,500 N across the carpet to a spot 5 m away on the opposite wall. Hoping to just slide your dresser easily across the floor, you do not empty your clothes out of the drawers before trying to move it. You push with all your might but cannot move the dresser before becoming completely exhausted. How much work do you do on the dresser?
W> 1.75 x 10^4 J
W = 1.75 x 10^4 J
1.75 x 10^4 J > W > 0 J
W = 0 J

Answer:

0.

Explanation:

(A) Work done on the dresser which will be given as :

$W = F d cos \theta$

where, F = weight of the dresser = 3500 N

$d_{expected} = 5m$

However you can move the dresser, that is a real distance,

$d = 0 m$

Substituting,

$W = (0) F(3500)cos (\theta)$ ( $\theta$ is the angle at which you apply the force)

$W = 0 J$

A steady beam of alpha particles (q = + 2e, mass m = 6.68 × 10-27 kg) traveling with constant kinetic energy 22 MeV carries a cu

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

q = 2e = 3.2 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 6.68 x 10^-27 kg

Kinetic energy, K = 22 MeV

Current, i = 0.27 micro Ampere = 0.27 x 10^-6 A

(a) time, t = 2.8 s

Let N be the alpha particles strike the surface.

N x 2e = q

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = i t

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 0.27 x 10^-6 x 2.8

N = 2.36 x 10^12

(b) Length, L = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Let N be the alpha particles

K = 0.5 x mv²

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 0.5 x 6.68 x 10^-27 x v²

v² = 1.054 x 10^15

v = 3.25 x 10^7 m/s

So, N x 2e = i x t

N x 2e = i x L / v

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 2.7 x 10^-7 x 0.16 / (3.25 x 10^7)

N = 4153.85

(c) Us ethe conservation of energy

Kinetic energy = Potential energy

K = q x V

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 2 x 1.5 x 10^-19 x V

V = 1.17 x 10^7 V

How far will you travel if you run for 10. minutes at 2.0 m/s?

oee [108]

We know that 1 minute= 60 seconds (or 1 min= 60 s).

10 min* (60 s/ 1 min)* (2.0 m/ 1 s)= 1,200 m.
(Note that the units cancel out so you get the answer)

The final answer is 1,200 m.

Hope this helps~

An object is made of glass and has the shape of a cube 0.13 m on a side, according to an observer at rest relative to it. Howeve

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$v=0.9833\ c$

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$

Given :

Side, b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 $kg/m^3$

So,

$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.184= \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.033= 1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$

$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$

$v=0.9833\ c$

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).

A 0.0450 kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 425 m/s in a 2.25 kg rifle (which is inititally at rest). The pain of

Mrac [35]

Answer:

If the rifle is held loosely away from the shoulder, the recoil velocity will be of -8.5 m/s, and the kinetic energy the rifle gains will be 81.28 J.

Explanation:

By momentum conservation, <em>and given the bullit and the recoil are in a straight line</em>, the momentum analysis will be <em>unidimentional</em>. As the initial momentum is equal to zero (the masses are at rest), we have that the final momentum equals zero, so

$0=P_{f}=m_{b} *v_{b}+m_{r}*v_{r}$

now we clear $v_{r}$ and use the given data to get that

$v_{r}=-8.5\frac{m}{s}$

<em>But we have to keep in mind that the bullit accelerate from rest to a speed of 425 m/s</em>, then <u>if the rifle were against the shoulder, the recoil velocity would be a fraction of the result obtained</u>, but, as the gun is a few centimeters away from the shoulder, it is assumed that the bullit get to its final velocity, so the kick of the gun, gets to its final velocity $\bold{v_{r}}$ too.

Finally, using $v_{r}$ we calculate the kinetic energy as

$K=\frac{1}{2}m_{r}v_{r}^{2}=81.28J$
