You are unloading a refrigerator from a delivery van. The ramp on the van is 5.0 m long, and its top end is 1.4 m above the grou

nd. As the refrigerator moves down the ramp, you are on the down side of the ramp trying to slow the motion by pushing horizontally against the refrigerator with a force of 270N .Part AHow much work do you do on the refrigerator during its trip down the ramp?W = ???

Answer:

W = 1401.84 J

Explanation:

Work = Force * distance

In this case, we consider the force acting in the direction of the displacement.

We can first find this displacement on the ramp using the pythagoras theorem:

Distance = \sqrt{X^2 + Y^2}

Distance = \sqrt{5^2 + 1.4^2}

Distance = 5.192 meters

The force applied in the direction of displacement will be:

Force = 270 * Cos(angle of incline)

Angle of incline = Tan^-^1(1.4/5)

Angle of incline = 15.642 °

Thus force applied:

F = 270 * Cos(15.642)

F = 260 N

Thus, work done will be:

W = Force * Distance

W = 260 * 5.192

W = 1349.92 J

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

B is right at first I thought I was wrong

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This tendency to resist changes in a state of motion is inertia.

Consider a monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave propagating in the x direction. At a particular point in space, the magnitud
Scrat [10]

Answer:

a)   S = 2.35 10³   J/m²2 ,  

b)and the tape recorder must be in the positive Z-axis direction.

the answer is 5

c) the direction of the positive x axis

Explanation:

a) The Poynting vector or intensity of an electromagnetic wave is

          S = 1 /μ₀ E x B

if we use that the fields are in phase

          B = E / c

we substitute

         S = E² /μ₀ c

let's calculate

        s = 941 2 / (4π 10⁻⁷  3 10⁸)

        S = 2.35 10³   J/m²2

 

b) the two fields are perpendicular to each other and in the direction of propagation of the radiation

In this case, the electro field is in the y direction and the wave propagates in the ax direction, so the magnetic cap must be in the y-axis direction, and the tape recorder must be in the positive Z-axis direction.

the answer is 5

C) The poynting electrode has the direction of the electric field, by which or which should be in the direction of the positive x axis

A 400g sample of water absorbs 500j of energy. how did the water temperature change if the specific heat of water is 4.18j/g©. S
Mashutka [201]

In general, the quantity of heat energy, Q, required to raise a mass m kg of a substance with a specific heat capacity of <span>c </span>J/(kg °C), from temperature t1 °C to t2 °C is given by:

<span>Q </span>= <span>mc(t</span><span>2 </span><span>– t</span>1<span>) joules</span>

<span>So:</span>

(t2-t1) =Q / mc

<span>As we know:
Q = 500 J </span>

<span>m = 0.4 kg</span>

<span>c = 4180 J/Kg </span>°c

<span>We can take t1 to be 0</span>°c

t2 - 0 = 500 / ( 0.4 * 4180 )

t2 - 0 = 0.30°c
