(a) For the work-energy theorem, the work done to lift the can of paint is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by it, therefore it is equal to
where m=3.4 kg is the mass of the can, g=9.81 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration and 
is the variation of height. Substituting the numbers into the formula, we find
(b) In this case, the work done is zero. In fact, we know from its definition that the work done on an object is equal to the product between the force applied F and the displacement:
However, in this case there is no displacement, so d=0 and W=0, therefore the work done to hold the can stationary is zero.
(c) In this case, the work done is negative, because the work to lower the can back to the ground is done by the force of gravity, which pushes downward. Its value is given by the same formula used in part (a):
Answer:
43.2
because to convert from m/sec to kmph we need to multiply by 3600/1000
Answer:
C) 50 m/s
Explanation:
With the given information we can calculate the acceleration using the force and mass of the box.
Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma
- 5 N = 1 kg * a
- a = 5 m/s²
List out known variables:
- v₀ = 0 m/s
- a = 5 m/s²
- v = ?
- Δx = 250 m
Looking at the constant acceleration kinematic equations, we see that this one contains all four variables:
Substitute known values into the equation and solve for v.
- v² = (0)² + 2(5)(250)
- v² = 2500
- v = 50 m/s
The final velocity of the box is C) 50 m/s.
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that potential energy is the energy occupied by an object or substance due to its position is known as potential energy.
Therefore, more is the space occupied by an object more will be its position at a particular location. Hence, more will be its potential energy. On the other hand, smaller is the space occupied by an object, smaller will be the position holded by it.
Hence, smaller will be its potential energy.
Thus, we can conclude that for the given situation the statement, potential energy of the larger sphere is greater than that of the smaller sphere, is true.
