a.
The work done by a constant force along a rectilinear motion when the force and the displacement vector are not colinear is given by:
where F is the magnitude of the force, theta is the angle between them and d is the distance.
The problen gives the following data:
The magnitude of the force 750 N.
The angle between the force and the displacement which is 25°
The distance, 26 m.
Plugging this in the formula we have:
Therefore the work done is 17673 J.
b)
The power is given by:
the problem states that the time it takes is 6 s. Then:
Therefore the power is 2945.5 W
Answer:
D. A Molecule
Explanation:
<em>The smallest particle of a compound that still has the properties of the compound is a molecule. It is composed of two or more bonded atoms.</em>
See the attached picture:
Refer to the diagram shown below.
The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.
The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N
The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N
The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.
For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m
Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.
