Answer:

<em>A: The amount of work will go down because the distance will decrease.</em>

Explanation:

A force is a push or pulls that is capable of changing the state of motion of an object. Force is measured in Newton

Work done is the amount of energy produced by a body when acted by a force over a distance. A product of force and distance, it is measured in joule

Amount of Work done is a product of force and distance, the formula for work done is given in equation 1;

W = f x d .......................................................1

where W is work done

f is the force

d is distance

from equation 1 the work done by an object is directly proportional to the force applied on the body. This means that an increase in the force will always result in an equivalent increase in work done by the body.

9. A 5.0 kg block on an inclined plane is acted upon by a horizontal force of 100 N shown in the figure below. The coefficient o

Helga [31]

Answer:

A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.

B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and set

$m=5kg\\\\F_H=100N\\\\\mu=0.3\\\\\theta=37^o.$

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.

Part A:

From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

$F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+F_s-F_Hcos(\theta).$

Now the force of friction is $F_s=\mu*N,$ where $N$ is the normal force and from the diagram it is $F_y=mg*cos(\theta).$

Thus $F_s=\mu*N=\mu*mg*cos(\theta).$

Therefore,

$F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+\mu*mg*cos(\theta)-F_Hcos(\theta)\\\\=mg(sin(\theta)+\mu*cos(\theta))-F_Hcos(\theta).$

Substituting the value for $F_H,m,\mu, and \:\theta$ we get:

$F_{tot}= -38.63N.$

Now acceleration is simply

$a=\frac{F_H}{m} =\frac{-38.63N}{5kg} =-7.7m/s.$

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.

Part B:

$d=\frac{1}{2} at^2$

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a} }$

Substitute the value of $d=0.50m$ and $a=7.7m/s$ and we get:

$t=0.36s.$

which is our answer.

Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of $a$ , because for this formula absolute value is needed.

A car manufacturer wants to change its car’s design to increase the car’s acceleration. Which changes should the engineers consi

likoan [24]

Answer:

The car manufacturers could increase bore of the cylinders, place the engine in the center or back of the car, add 1 to 2 turbochargers, and lower the center of gravity of the vehicle to increase traction.

Explanation:

Turbochargers would be recommended because they significantly increase both the torque of the engine as well as the amount of horses powering the car while also increasing original efficiency both with and without the additional power. Weight adjustment allows for lightweight vehicles with good traction. This is important to both keep control of the car under acceleration, but it also makes the vehicle more efficient due to the now sheddable unnecessary weight. A more obvious approach would be to increase the base horsepower and torque of the engine by increasing the bore of the cylinders and the weight of the pistons. This acts as an inertial lever, because the extra piston weight will drag the crankshaft faster. This could also be achieved by taking away piston weight, but this could be catastrophic should a piston slip.

Which of the following are true statements? A. Like charges repel B. Unlike charges repel C. Unlike charges attract or D. Charge

Brums [2.3K]

Answer: The correct answers are (A) and (C).

Explanation:

The expression from electrostatic force is as follows;

$F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{1}}{r^{2} }$

Here, F is the electrostatic force, k is constant, r is the distance between the charges and $q_{1},q_{1}$ are the charges.

The electrostatic force follows inverse square law. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges. It is directly proportional to the product of the charges.

Like charges repel each other. There is a force of electrostatic repulsion between the like charges. Unlike charges attract each other. There is a force of electrostatic attraction between unlike charges.

The charges are induced on the neutral object when it is placed nearby the charged object without actually touching it.

Therefore, the true statements from the given options are as follows;

Like charges repel.

Unlike charges attract.
