m = mass held by mr. Z above his head = 200 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

F = force applied by mr. Z to hold the mass

Using equilibrium of force , force equation is given as

F = mg

F = (200) (9.8)

F = 1960 N

Since the mass is not moved,

d = displacement of the mass = 0 m

we know that , work done is given as

W = F d

inserting the values

W = (1960) (0)

W = 0 J

sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

(1).\: x =v_0t

(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, y=0; therefore,

0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

solving for t we get:

t= 1.75s.

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

50m = v_0(1.75s)

which gives

\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

v_x = 28.58m/s.

the vertical component of the velocity is

v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.

which gives a speed v of

v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}

The light from the Sun heats a metal surface. This is an example of what?
Sedaia [141]
Radiation. That's perhaps the only way that energy gets from the Sun to the earth. The space between the two is a vacuum, so conduction is more or less out as is convection. There's no obvious sign of mirrors, so reflection seems to be out as well.

if you push a small act with 7,000 N force and push a heavy truck with the same force, which one will have a greater acceleratio
inn [45]

Answer:

the small one will have greater acceleration

Explanation:

force and mass are inversely proportional. force and acceleration are directly proportional. which means greater mass have smaller acceleration and smaller mass has greater acceleration. this is due to newtons second law of motion.
