To push a 26.0 kg crate up a frictionless incline, angled at 25.0° to the horizontal, a worker exerts a force of 209 N parallel

to the incline. As the crate slides 1.9 m, how much work is done on the crate by (a) the worker's applied force, (b) the gravitational force on the crate, and (c) the normal force exerted by the incline on the crate? (d) What is the total work done on the crate?

Answer:

(a) W = +397.1 J

(b) W = -204.6 J

(c) W = 0

(d) W= + 192.5 J

Explanation:

Work (W) is defined as the product of force (F) by the distance (d)the body travels due to this force. :

W= F*d Formula ( 1)

The forces that perform work on an object must be parallel to its displacement.

The forces perpendicular to the displacement of an object do not perform work on it.

The work is positive (W+) if the force has the same direction of movement of the object.  

The work is negative (W-) if the force has the opposite direction of the movement of the object.

Problem development

(a) Work performed by the worker's applied force on the box .

W= 209 N * 1.9 m = +397.1 J

(b) Work performed by the gravitational force on the crate

We calculate the weight component parallel to the displacement of the box:

We define the x-axis in the direction of the inclined plane ,25.0° to the horizontal.

We define the y-axis and in the direction of the plane perpendicular to the inclined plane.

W= m*g=26*9.8= 254.8N : total box weight

Wx= W*sen25.0°= 254.8*sen25.0°= 107.68 N

W = -Wx *d =107.68 N *1.9 m= -204.6 J

(c) Work performed by normal force (N) exerted by the incline on the crate

The force N is perpendicular to the displacement, then:

W=0

(d) Total work done on the crate

W = 397.1 J -204.6 J

W = 192.5 J

Lana71 [14]
<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>

The amplitude of a standing sound wave in a long pipe closed at the left end is sketched below.
ollegr [7]

(1) The harmonic number for the mode of oscillation is 3.

(2) The pitch (frequency) of the sound is 579.55 Hz

(3) The level of the water inside the vertical pipe is 0.1 m.

<h3>The harmonic number</h3>

The harmonic number for the mode of oscillation illustrated for the closed pipe is 3.

<h3>Frequency of the wave</h3>

The pitch (frequency) of the sound is calculated from third harmonic formula;

f = 3v/4L

where;

  • v is speed of sound
  • L is length of the pipe

f = (3 x 340) / (4 x 0.44)

f = 579.55 Hz

<h3>level of the water</h3>

wave equation for first harmonic of a closed pipe is given as

f  = v/(4L)

251.1  = 340/(4L)

4L = 340/251.1

4L = 1.35

L = 1.35/4

L = 0.34 m

level of water = 0.44 m - 0.34 m = 0.1 m

Thus, the level of the water inside the vertical pipe is 0.1 m.

What will happen to plant height if the amount of available light is reduced due to global dimming? Which type of investigation
Lorico [155]
The plant will not grow. In fact it could have all the nutrients and all the water it needs, but without a sufficient amount of light, it could die because its leaves are meant for a certain minimum amount of light.

I'll come back and see if you have posted the question you wanted and edit my answer.

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.
