You go rock climbing with a pack that weighs 70 N and you reach a height of 30 m. how much work did you do to lift your pack? If

you finished the climb in 10 minutes (600 s), what was your power?

When you climb, earth exerts gravitational force on pack in downward direction(pointing towards the center of earth).
In order to climb, you need to work against work done by gravity on the pack.
Hence work done by you = work done by gravity on pack 
                                        = Force x displacement = 70 x 30 = 2100 J.
 
So you need to do 2100 joules of work to lift your pack.

Power is the rate of work done.
Therefore power = work done by you/time(in seconds)
                            =     2100/600 =3.5 watts

Two equal magnitude electric charges are separated by a distance d. The electric potential at the midpoint between these two cha
Ann [662]

Answer:

The charges under study are of the same sign

The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges

Explanation:

Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field

          E = k q / r²

where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.

When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.

* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.

* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.

* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9,800 N up to 145 m. How much work must the engine do to lift this beam? How much work
Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the engine used to lift a beam, W = 9800 N

Distance, d = 145 m

Work done by the engine to lift the beam is given by :

W = F d

W=9800\ N\times 145\ m\\\\W=1421000\ J\\\\W=1421\ kJ

Let W' is the work must be done to lift it 290 m. It is given by :

W'=9800\ N\times 290\ m\\\\W'=2842000\ J\\\\W'=2842\ kJ

Hence, this is the required solution.

Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at 1.8 m/s . A fourth car traveling east at 4.5 m/s catches up wi
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

v = 1.98\ m/s

Explanation:

consider the mass of each train car be m

m₁ = m₂ = m₃ = m

speed of the three identical train

u₁ = u₂ = u₃ = 1.8 m/s

m₄ = m             u₄ = 4.5 m/s

m₅ = m              u₅ = 0 (initial velocity )

final velocity

v₁ = v₂ = v₃ = v₄ = v₅ = v

using conservation of momentum

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ + m₄u₄ + m₅u₅ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ + m₄v₄ + m₅v₅

m (1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 +4.5) = 5 m v

v = \dfrac{9.9}{5}

v = 1.98\ m/s
