A 220 kg crate hangs from the end of a rope of length L = 14.0 m. You push horizontally on the crate with a varying force F to m

kifflom [539]

Answer:

(a) magnitude of F = 797 N

(b)the total work done W = 0

(c)work done by the gravitational force = -1.55 kJ

(d)the work done by the pull = 0

(e) work your force F does on the crate = 1.55 kJ

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the crate, m = 220 kg

Length of the rope, L = 14.0m

Distance, d = 4.00m

(a) What is the magnitude of F when the crate is in this final position

Let us first determine vertical angle as follows

=> $Sin \theta = \frac{d }{L}$

=> $\theta = Sin^{-1} \frac{d}{L}$ =

Now substituting thje values

=> $\theta = Sin^{-1} \frac{4}{12}$ =

=> $\theta = Sin^{-1} \frac{1}{3}$

=> $\theta = Sin^{-1}(0.333)$

=> $\theta = 19.5^{\circ}$

Now the tension in the string resolve into components

The vertical component supports the weight

=> $Tcos\theta = mg$

=> $T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

=> $T = \frac{230 \times 9.8 }{cos(19.5)}$

=> $T = \frac{2254 }{cos(19.5)}$

=> $T = \frac{2254 }{0.9426}$

=>T =2391N

Therefore the horizontal force

$F = TSin(19.5)$

F = 797 N

b) The total work done on it

As there is no change in Kinetic energy

The total work done W = 0

c) The work done by the gravitational force on the crate

The work done by gravity

Wg = Fs.d = - mgh

Wg = - mgL ( 1 - Cosθ )

Substituting the values

= $-230 \times 9.8\times 12 ( 1 - cos(19.5) )$

= $-230 \times 9.8\times 12 ( 1 - 0.9426) )$

= $-230 \times 9.8\times 12 (0.0574)$

= $-230 \times 9.8\times 0.6888$

= $-230 \times 6.750$

= -1552.55 J

The work done by gravity = -1.55 kJ

d) the work done by the pull on the crate from the rope

Since the pull is perpendicular to the direction of motion,

The work done = 0

e)Find the work your force F does on the crate.

Work done by the Force on the crate

WF = - Wg

WF = -(-1.55)

WF = 1.55 kJ

(f) Why is the work of your force not equal to the product of the horizontal displacement and the answer to (a)

Here the work done by force is not equal to F*d

and it is equal to product of the cos angle and F*d

So, it is not equal to the product of the horizontal displacement and the answer to (a)

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Yo

insens350 [35]

Full Question

Consider two point charges located on the x axis: one charge, Q1 = -12.0 nC , is located at x1 = -1.705m ; the second charge, Q2 = 36.5 nC, is at the origin (x=0.0000).

What is the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 49.5 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.170 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force.

Answer:

6.79E6 N

Explanation:

Given

Q1 is negative and to the left of Q3 the force will be to the left

Q2 is positive and to the right of Q3 the the force will also be to the left

Net Force is calculated as:

Using Coulomb's law

Coulomb's law: F = kqQ / r²

the constant k = 8.99 x 10^9 N m2 / C2

F = -kQ1*Q3/(r1)² -kQ2*Q3/(r2)²)

F = -kQ3(Q1/(r1)² + Q2/(r2)²)

Where

Q1 = -12nC = -12 * 10^-9C

Q2 = 36.5nC = 36.5 * 10^-9C

Q3 = 49.5nC = 49.5 * 10^-9C

x1 = -1.705m

x2 = x = 0

x3 = -1.170m

r1 = x3 - x1

r1 = -1.170 - -1.705

r1 = -1.170 + 1.705

r1 = 0.535

r1² = 0.286225

r2 = x3

r2 = -1.170

r2² = -1.170²

r2² = 1.3689

So,

F = (-8.99 * 10^9)(49.5 *10^-9) [-12 * 10^-9/0.286225 + 36.5 * 10^-9/1.3689]

F = -445.005 (−4.192505895711E−8 + 2.6663744612462E−8)

F = -445.005 * −1.5261314344648E−8

F = -(8.99 * 10^9) * (49.5 * 10^-9) * [ (-12 * 10^-9) /(-1.770 - -1.705)² + (36.5 * 10^-9)/(-1.170)²]

F = -445.005( −0.000002813572941777538)

F = 0.00000679136118994008324

F = 6.79E6 N

how fast will and in what direction will a 20kg object accelerate if one force pushes at a 30 degree angle and another pushes at

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

$|a|=2.83\ m/s^2$

$\theta=75^o$

Explanation:

Net Force And Acceleration

The Newton's second law relates the net force applied on an object of mass m and the acceleration it aquires by

$\vec F_n=m\vec a$

The net force is the vector sum of all forces. In this problem, we are not given the magnitude of each force, only their angles. For the sake of solving the problem and giving a good guide on how to proceed with similar problems, we'll assume both forces have equal magnitudes of F=40 N

The components of the first force are

$\vec F_1=$
