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

3. A worker pushes a box across the floor to the right at a constant speed with a force of 25N. What

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on an object is equal to the produce between the object's mass and its acceleration:

$F_{net}=ma$

where

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have two forces acting on the object:

- The applied force, F = 25 N, to the right

- The force of friction $F_f$ , opposing the motion of the box, so to the left

So we can write the net force as

$F_{net}=F-F_f$

Also, we know that the box is moving at constant speed: this means its acceleration is zero, so

$a=0$

Therefore

$F_{net}=0$

WHich means:

$F-F_f=0$

And therefore,

$F_f=F=25 N$

which means that the force of friction is also 25 N.

the goat weighs 900 N and is 1 meter from the fulcrum. The strongman pulls down on the lever 3 meters from the fulcrum. What is

garik1379 [7]

Answer: The smallest effort = 300N

Explanation:

Using one of the condition for the attainment of equilibrium:

Clockwise moment = anticlockwise moments

900 × 1 = 3 × M

Where M = the weight of the strong man

3M = 900

M = 900/3 = 300N

Therefore, 300N is the smallest effort that the strongman can use to lift the goat

How much heat is absorbed by a 450g gold block as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 27°C to 32°C? (Speci

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

$Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

$Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]$

Consider two uniform solid spheres where both have the same diameter, but one has twice the mass of the other. how much larger i

egoroff_w [7]

<span>The moment of inertia of the large sphere will be twice that of the smaller sphere.
The formula for the moment of inertia for a solid sphere is:
I = (2/5)mr^2
where
I = moment of inertia
m = mass
r = radius

Since both spheres have the same diameter, they also have the same radius, so the only change is their mass. And the moment of inertia is directly proportional to their mass as shown by the above formula. So the sphere with twice the mass will have twice the moment of inertia, or 2 times.</span>
