ou have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3,

500 NN across the carpet to a spot 5 mm away on the opposite wall. Hoping to just slide your dresser easily across the floor, you do not empty your clothes out of the drawers before trying to move it. You push with all your might but cannot move the dresser before becoming completely exhausted. How much work do you do on the dress

So far, since you moved into the apartment until the end of this much of the story, you haven't done ANY work on the dresser yet.

I'll admit that you pushed, groaned and grunted, sweated and strained plenty.  You're physically and mentally exhausted, you're not interested in the dresser at the moment, and right now you just want to snappa cappa brew, crash on the couch, and watch cartoons on TV.  But if you've done your Physics homework, you know you haven't technically done any <u><em>work</em></u> yet.

In Physics, "Work" is the product of Force times Distance.

Since the dresser hasn't budged yet, the Distahce is zero.  So no matter how great the Force may be, it's multiplied by zero, so the <em>Work is zero</em>.

How far did a frog jump if he travels at a rate of 2.1 m/s for 10 seconds?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

21 m

Explanation:

The motion of the frog is a uniform motion (constant speed), therefore we can find the distance travelled by using

d=vt

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed

t is the time

The frog in this problem has a speed of

v = 2.1 m/s

and therefore, after t = 10 s, the distance it covered is

d=(2.1)(10)=21 m

A steel tank of weight 600 lb is to be accelerated straight upward at a rate of 1.5 ft/sec2. Knowing the magnitude of the force
VikaD [51]

Answer:

a) the values of the angle α is 45.5°

b) the required magnitude of the vertical force, F is 41 lb

Explanation:

Applying the free equilibrium equation along x-direction

from the diagram

we say

∑Fₓ = 0

Pcosα - 425cos30° = 0

525cosα - 368.06 = 0

cosα = 368.06/525

cosα = 0.701

α = cos⁻¹ (0.701)

α = 45.5°

Also Applying the force equation of motion along y-direction

∑Fₓ = ma

Psinα + F + 425sin30° - 600 = (600/32.2)(1.5)

525sin45.5° + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

374.46 + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

F - 13.04 = 27.95

F = 27.95 + 13.04

F = 40.99 ≈ 41 lb

lesya [120]

Answer:

This question is about matching each definition with its correct term. Please find the term matched with their appropriate definition below.

Explanation:

1. Empirical evidence: An empirical evidence is an observational evidence i.e an evidence gathered by observation or use of senses.

2. Dependent variable: Dependent variable is an experimental factor that changes in response to a change in the independent variable. In other words, it is dependent on the independent variable.

3. Applied research: Applied research is a type of research oriented at solving a present problem or need. It encompasses the production of products that can be sold for profit.

4. Hypothesis: A hypothesis in an experiment is a proposed explanation for a scientific problem that itself can be tested by experimentation. A hypothesis aims at providing a testable explanation to an observed problem.

5. Control: A control is a quantity in an experiment that remains unchanged or constant. It is kept the same by the experimenter for all groups in the experiment in order not to influence the outcome.

6. Basic research: Basic research is the research that expands knowledge in a particular area. It is the kind of research that aims at filling a knowledge void or satiating curiosity.

7. Independent variable: The independent variable is the experimental factor that is changed or manipulated deliberately by the scientist.

At the circus, a 100.-kilogram clown is fired at 15 meters per second from a 500.- kilogram cannon. What is the recoil speed of
photoshop1234 [79]

The recoil velocity of cannon is (4) 5.0 m/s

Explanation:

We can find the recoil velocity from the law of conservation of momentum.

The recoil velocity is velocity of body 2 after release of body 1, i.e. velocity of cannon after release of clown.

Let v2 be cannon's velocity, v1 be clown's velocity given = 15 m/sec

m1 be clown's mass = 100kg and m2 be cannon's mass given = 500kg.

So recoil velocity of cannon v2 is given by,

v2 = -(m1÷m2)v1

v2 = -(100÷500)15

v2 = -5 m/s

where the minus sign refers to the direction of cannon's recoil velocity being opposite to that of clown.

Hence, option (4)5.0 m/s is the correct answer.
