Answer: 7291.2 joules
Explanation:
Work is done when force is applied on an object over a distance.
Thus, Workdone = Force X distance
Since Distance moved by box = 12 metres
mass of box = 62kg
Acceleration due to gravity when box was lifted is represented by g = 9.8m/s^2
Recall that Force = Mass x acceleration due to gravity
i.e Force = 62kg x 9.8m/s^2
= 607.6 Newton
So, Workdone = Force X Distance
Workdone = 607.6 Newton X 12 metres
Workdone = 7291.2 joules
Thus, 7291.2 joules of work was done.
The blank distance is your answer
Answer:
the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg
final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s
Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;
Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring
K.E = Ux
¹/₂mv² = Ux
¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux
400 J = Ux
Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.
Till the time car is just adjacent to the bicycle we can say
distance moved by cycle = distance moved by car
Time taken by car to accelerate from rest
Time taken by cycle to accelerate
now the distance moved by cycle in time "t"
distance moved by car in same time
now make them equal
so cycle will move ahead of car for t = 5.68 s
