After the box comes to rest at position x₁, a person starts pushing the box, giving it a speed v₁. When the box reaches position

x₂ (where x₂>x₁), how much work W_p has the person done on the box? Assume that the box reaches x₂ after the person has accelerated it from rest to speed v₁. Express the work in terms of m, v₀, x₁, x₂, and v₁.

Answer:

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

Explanation:

As we know that box is initially at rest

So we will have

v_i = 0

now as it will be displaced from initial position to final position then final speed of the box is reached to

v_f = v_1

now we know by work energy theorem that work done by all the forces on the box will be equal to the change in kinetic energy

So here we will have

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

W_p = \frac{1}{2}m(v_1^2 - 0)

W_p = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2

A plane flies 1800 miles in 9 ​hours, with a tailwind all the way. the return trip on the same​ route, now with a​ headwind, tak
Fittoniya [83]

Initially its moving with tail wind so here the speed of wind will support the motion of the plane

so we can say

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{9}

V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 200 mph

now when its moving with head wind we can say that wind is opposite to the motion of the plane

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1800}{12}

V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 150mph

now by using above two equations we can find speed of palne as well as speed of wind

V_{plane} = 175 mph

v_{wind} = 25 mph

1) <span>A solar eclipse that occurs when the new moon is too far from earth to completely cover the sun can be either a partial solar eclipse or an -->
Answer: ANULAR ECLIPSE. Since the moon is too far, it will cover only a part of the sun, and only the external ring of the moon will be visible; this is called anular eclipse.

2) </span><span>anyone looking from the night side of earth can, in principle, see a -->
Answer: LUNAR ECLIPSE. If the moon is the right position, and the Earth's shadow covers partially or totally the moon, then a lunar eclipse occurs.

3) </span><span>during some lunar eclipses, the moon's appearance changes only slightly, because it passes only through the part of earth's shadow called the -->
Answer: PENUMBRA. 

4) </span><span>a ... can occur only when the moon is new and has an angular size larger than the sun in the sky -->
Answer: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. When the moon is new, it means it is between the sun and the Earth, and its dark side faces the Earth. If the moon's angular size is also larger than the sun angular size, than it will completely cover the sun, and a total solar eclipse occurs.

5) </span><span>a partial lunar eclipse begins when the moon first touches earth's --> 
Answer: SHADOW. The Earth's shadow will start to cover the moon, and partial lunar eclipse will start.

6) </span><span> a point at which the moon crosses earth's orbital plane is called a(n)  --> 
Answer: NODE. Eclipses occur only when the Moon is at or close to a node, otherwise sun, earth and moon are not "aligned".</span>

A rectangular piece of​ cardboard, whose area is 352 square​ centimeters, is made into an open box by cutting a 2​-centimeter sq
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Area = 352 cm²

Side of each square cutting from corner = 2 cm

Volume of box = 432 cm³

Let the two sides are x and y.

The area of the rectangular piece is

xy=352

y=\dfrac{352}{x} -------- (1)

The volume of the rectangular piece

2(x-4)(\dfrac{352}{x}-4)=432

x^2-38x+352=0

(x-16)(x-22)=0

x=16,22

Put the value of x in the equation (I)

For x = 16

y=\dfrac{352}{16}=22

For x = 22

y=\dfrac{352}{22}=16

Dimension of cardboard is 22 m by 16 m
