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

What is matter? Give a grade 10/11/12 understanding.
lara [203]

Matter can be many things, but is mostly made of atoms. Atoms are small things that cannot be seen directly, as lights either passes through it or alters it. However, we know that atoms are made of 3 parts, those being the proton, neutron, and electron.

Protons have a positive electromagnetic charge.

Neutrons have no charge.

Electrons have a negative charge equal to the protons positive charge.

Protons and neutrons make up what's called the nucleus, which is orbited by the electrons.

Protons and neutrons also share another thing in common, that being their composition.

Until relatively recently, we thought that these were the smallest particles in the universe, and indestructible. However, modern discoveries have revealed that they are actually made of quarks and gluons.

These are actually indestructible, being part of the group that is elementary particles.

7. Describe about the difficultites that would arise due to lack of non-uniformity in measurement. ​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Many difficulties would arise if there was a lack of uniformity in the measurement of various weights and measures between business, industry, individuals and countries. The biggest implications for a lack of uniformity are in health and safety, equity and sustainability.

What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.
adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength
