The work done will be equal to the potential energy of the piano at the final position

P.E=m.g.h

.consider the plank the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed with the ground
.let x be the angle with the ground=31.6°
.h be the side opposite to the angle x (h is the final height of the piano)
.let L be the length of the plank

sinx=opposite side / hypotenuse
= h/L

then h=L.sinx=3.49×sin31.6°=0.638m

weight w=m.g
m=w/g=3858/10=385.8kg

Consider Gravity g=10m/s2

then P.E.=m.g.h=385.8kg×10×0.638=2461.404J

then Work W=P.E.=2451.404J

Answer:

7055.13 J

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> identify the given parameters

  • Applied force on the piano = 3858N
  • Length of plank = 3.49m
  • angle between the plank and horizontal surface = 31.6⁰

Note: frictional force between the piano and horizontal surface is zero since the plank is frictionless.

<u>Step 2:</u> work done in sliding the piano up the plank = applied force X distance moved by the piano.

The distance moved by the piano is equal to the height above ground when the piano reach top of the plank.

  • make a sketch of right angle triangle
  • length of the plank is the hypotenuse side
  • angle between the hypotenuse and the horizontal is 31.6⁰
  • height of the triangle is the height above ground , let it be the unknown  

Height of the triangle = 3.49m X sine31.6⁰

Height of the triangle = 1.8287m

Recall, height of the triangle is the height above ground which is equal to the distance moved by the piano

work done in sliding the piano up the plank = applied force X distance moved by the piano.

work done in sliding the piano up the plank = 3858N X 1.8287M

                                                                           = 7055.13 J

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), what will be the nature of the char
uysha [10]

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), then the nature of charge gained by q must be positive, because rubbing an uncharged body with a charged body or placed in contact with a positive charged body, helps gain a charge to the uncharged body.

There are a variety of methods to charge an object. One method is known as induction. In the induction process, a charged object is brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object.

Let's know, how a element gain positive charge?

A positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons. A positive charge may be created by adding protons to an atom or object with a neutral charge. A positive charge also can be created by removing electrons from a neutrally charged object.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons in it. If the atom has 20 electrons in it, explain what type of charge it has and how you can t
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it.  That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.
