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

Work = force x distance
F= 2.5
D= 3
Work = 2.5 x 3 =7.5
Work = 7.5 J

A person is standing on and facing the front of a stationary skateboard while holding a construction brick. The mass of the pers

Inessa [10]

Answer:

v₁ = -0.8087 m / s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the conservation of momentum, for this we define a system formed by the man, the skateboard and the brick, therefore the force during the separation is internal and the momentum is conserved

Initial instant. When they are united

p₀ = 0

Final moment. After throwing the brick

$p_{f}$ = (m_man + m_skate) v1 + m_brick v2

the moment is preserved

p₀ = p_{f}

0 = (m_man + m_skate) v₁ + m_brick v₂

v₁ = - $\frac{ m_{brick} }{m_{man} + m_{skate} } v_{2}$

the negative sign indicates that the two speeds are in the opposite direction

let's calculate

v₁ = - $\frac{2.5}{67 + 4.10} 23.0$

v₁ = -0.8087 m / s

Two charges, X and Y, are placed along the x-axis. Charge X is +18 nC and is placed at x = 0. Charge Y is placed at a location o

Helen [10]

Answer:

Charge Z can be placed at <em>x</em> = -2.7 m or at <em>x</em> = 0.27 m.

Explanation:

The Coulomb force between two charges, $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ , separated by a distance, $d$ , is given

$F = k\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}$

<em>k</em> is a constant.

For the charge Z to be at equilibrium, the force exerted on it by charge X must be equal and opposite to the force exerted on it by charge Y.

It is to be placed along the <em>x</em>-axis. Hence, it is on the same line as charges X and Y.

Let the charge on Z be <em>Q</em>. It is positive.

Let the distance from charge X be <em>x m.</em> Then the distance from charge Y will be (0.60 - <em>x</em>) m.

Force due to charge X

$F_X = k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2}$

Force due to charge Y

$F_Y = k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}$

Since both forces are equal and opposite,

$F_X = -F_Y$

$k\dfrac{18Q}{x^2} = -k\dfrac{-27Q}{(0.60-x)^2}$

$\dfrac{2}{x^2} = \dfrac{3}{(0.60-x)^2}$

$2(0.60-x)^2 = 3x^2$

$2(0.36-1.20x+x^2) = 3x^2$

$0.72-2.40x+2x^2 = 3x^2$

$x^2+2.40x-0.72 = 0$

Applying the quadratic formula,

$x = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{2.40^2 - (4)(1)(-0.72)}}{2} = \dfrac{-2.40\pm\sqrt{8.64}}{2}$

$x = -2.7$ or $x = 0.27$

Charge Z can be placed at <em>x</em> = -2.7 m or at <em>x</em> = 0.27 m
